I’ve lived in Kyoto for 32 years
I speak English, Japanese
I am a graphic designer
With a love for Kyoto’s hidden shrines and a keen eye for art history, I enjoy uncovering the city’s lesser-known cultural gems. You’ll often find me browsing flea markets for rare finds or indulging in Kyoto’s finest wagashi—I have endless energy for desserts! Having spent my high school years in the city’s southern area, I know its rich history, from its artistic heritage to its darker past. Whether you’re looking for a deep dive into Kyoto’s art and architecture or just the best place for a sweet treat, I’m here to guide you through the city’s unique charm with a fun and curious spirit.
