This tour is perfect for exploring Kyoto's famous landmarks with authentic local insights from a Japanese guide who lives here!

About Tour Guide Yuta I.

Hi, I’m Yuta, a Kyoto-based private guide offering tours in English and German. With 79 five-star reviews, I create relaxed, personalized days that combine must-see highlights, quieter local places, great food, and memorable photos.


Hallo, ich bin Yuta, ein privater Reiseführer mit Sitz in Kyoto, der Touren auf Englisch und Deutsch anbietet. Mit 79 Fünf-Sterne-Bewertungen gestalte ich entspannte, maßgeschneiderte Tage, die die wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten, ruhigere lokale Orte, großartiges Essen und unvergessliche Fotos miteinander verbinden.


(From now on, I will continue in English for a while.)

As a local guide, I know Kyoto, Osaka, and Nara very well. I love showing both the famous highlights and the smaller hidden spots that most visitors don’t get to see.


I design custom tours for individuals and groups, whether you’d like to explore Kyoto’s temples and gardens, Osaka’s lively neighborhoods, or Nara’s peaceful parks and friendly deer. Along the way, I share stories, history, and insights to help you experience these places more deeply.


I also enjoy taking photos during tours so you’ll have lasting memories of your visit. Most importantly, my goal is to make your time in Japan enjoyable, relaxed, and truly special.


If you have questions or would like help planning, please feel free to reach out. I look forward to welcoming you and showing you the beauty of Japan!

Kyoto Altstadt

Die Stadtführung durch die Altstadt von Kyoto war sehr informativ und kurzweilig. Yuta war ein lustiger und sympathischer Guide. Wir würden immer wieder gerne eine Tour mit Yuta buchen.
