I am a Student
Hello, I am Nisa. I am a PhD student at Kyoto University, majoring in Education. While living in Kyoto, I have had various experiences working as an English teacher and English-speaking tour guide. I've deeply admired Kyoto due to its tranquil ambiance, cleanliness, and rich historical sites. Previously, I studied Landscape Architecture, so I know well about Japanese Zen gardens and temples. During my free time, I delight in exploring Kyoto's hidden gems, ranging from unique temples to cozy coffee shops. I love playing board games and Nintendo as well as traveling (I've been to 35 countries!). I am looking forward to showing you around this magical city called Kyoto! Let's embark on a memorable journey in this enchanting city together

My reviews
-
Nisa was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. She found us a beautiful quiet temple to visit away from the crowds which was very special. Even in busier areas she found us hidden gems and made the tour feel very personal. We would definitely recommend a tour with Nisa.

Nisa was very knowledgeable with the area and accommodating with our young kids. We loved the Kiyomizudera, and participated in many activities including drinking the water for longevity. Nisa found the perfect spot for some lunch, & we finished off where the kids could view some goldfish. Thanks Nisa for a great tour, you went above and beyond with our three year old son (have a lovely photo of him holding your hand).

Nisa was very friendly and very knowledgeable. She took us to some beautiful places we would have never found on our own. Highly recommend.
