Private tour
No set course. Tell me what you're curious about, and I'll build the tour around it.
Every tour is private. Slow or active, temples or shops, Kyoto, Osaka or further — the shape of the day comes from you, not from a list.

Your guide
Hello, I'm Miyu.
This isn't about rushing efficiently from one crowded landmark to the next. Instead, we design the day together around what you truly want to see and understand. Having studied Buddhism at university, I can offer deeper historical and cultural context at temples than typical guides — while just as easily introducing you to the local shops and everyday food that residents actually love.
Think of it as exploring Japan with a knowledgeable, insightful local friend who helps you appreciate its subtle beauty and refined culture.

Hello everyone, I booked a private tour from Miyu for 1 day. It was simply great. I admired Miyu's kindness, warmth and communication power. She is also a very fun person — she encouraged me to try new things and I really liked this. If I come to Osaka again, I will meet Miyu again without thinking. I highly recommend her. Thanks a lot.
Guest from Turkey
I had a great time on this tour! The host was friendly and knowledgeable, and it was great to explore some of Kyoto's quieter, lesser-known spots. It was fascinating to learn the backstory and meaning behind the temple, and the traditional grilled mochi at the end was delicious. It was a relaxing and unique experience that I would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Kyoto.
Guest from Ireland
We really enjoyed experiencing local culture and going to places away from tourists! Miyu really went out of her way to find special little places that we would never have found. She was so patient and professional and met all our requirements. Thank you so much — we were so happy with our 2 days with you. It was also great to have you help us with shopping and our requests. We highly recommend you to other travellers.

Your dates, how many of you there are, and one thing you're curious about. That's all I need to start drawing the day.
