Hey there! I'm Bita, your friendly local host in Kyoto. I'm here to show you the hidden gems of this incredible city. What I love most about Kyoto is the cozy coffee shops tucked away from the busy city. You can find me on the peaceful Kamo riverbank when I'm not exploring these cozy spots. It's a diverse space where you can do anything from having a delightful picnic to practicing your saxophone! One of the things that captivate me in Kyoto is the Cherry blossoms in March and April; they are so beautiful. The list of Kyoto's natural wonders never ends, and I'm eager to share them with you. My favorite activity in Kyoto is cycling around the city, and nothing makes me happier than stumbling upon a new coffee shop that I can become obsessed with. I'm here to make your experience unforgettable. Let's embark on this exciting journey together!

Bita was friendly and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed her company. She was prepared but at the same time was flexible with the itinerary as well. I would recommend her any day.

Thanks to Ms. Bita, our quick day-trip from Tokyo to Kyoto was SUPERB and EXACTLY what we were hoping to enjoy! Given our Tokyo itinerary was packed, we were left with only one day to dash to Kyoto & back. Ms. Bita was our perfect host! Very communicative via WhatsApp ahead of our trip. Super-EZ meet up @ Starbucks where we quickly discussed our 'game plan' ('Old Kyoto Immersion'), plus our time limitations. Ms. Bita has excellent (U.S.) English skills! She took us through 'Old Kyoto', as requested, made our dinner reservations, accompanied us to restaurant (across from Kyoto Train Stn) before saying goodbye. All in all, Bita provided us with a perfect introduction to 'All Things Kyoto'

Bita is lovely. She will get in touch early to ensure best program is scheduled but also be flexible if you have any particular requirements. Our visit was smooth and we tried to stay « off the beaten path » as much as possible. Thanks Bita!
