Hi, I’m Kenta, your local host in Kyoto! I’m passionate about sharing the tranquil beauty and rich cultural history that make this city so special. What I love most about Kyoto is its balance of serene parks, flowing rivers, and stunning temples—perfect spots to slow down and truly connect with the spirit of Japan. I enjoy visiting temple gardens and discovering cozy places for coffee and tea, where tradition meets a modern sense of comfort. Whether you’re strolling through the charming Gion District, exploring the historic Higashiyama Area, or soaking in the natural beauty of Arashiyama, I’ll help you plan an itinerary that captures the best of Kyoto’s diverse offerings. With an eye for detail and a knack for logistics, I’m here to make sure your visit is both seamless and memorable. Let’s create an unforgettable Kyoto experience together!
