Kyoto Private Walking Tour with Local Guide
Hi, I'm Ryotaro – a local Kyoto guide offering private walking tours. Born and raised in Kyoto, I studied economics at Kyoto University and spent four years playing American football. In 2025, I began practicing the Yabunouchi school of Japanese tea ceremony. I also lived and worked in Canada on a working holiday, gaining experience with people from around the world. My family has operated a traditional kimono shop in Kyoto for generations, and I plan to carry on this cultural heritage. I offer flexible, personalized Kyoto tours that go beyond the typical tourist routes. Whether you’re interested in hidden temples, local food spots, cultural experiences, or kimono traditions, I’ll guide you with insider knowledge and hospitality. Available in English. Perfect for solo travelers, couples, families, and small groups.
