A Fully Custom Kyoto Private Walking Tour Tailored to You
Enjoy a one-of-a-kind Kyoto with a bilingual local student guide. Before the tour we ask about your interests, then design a route just for you—quiet indie cafés, hidden shrines, secret lanes, photogenic machiya, and other spots you won’t find in guidebooks.
Examples
• Café lover? Visit 2–3 cozy gems known only to students.
• Photo & history fan? Combine scenic temples with classic streetscapes.
Most of the tour is on foot; we’ll hop on a city bus or taxi when it saves time and avoids crowds. Meeting and drop-off points anywhere in Kyoto City are flexible, and we’ll confirm all details with you in advance.
Solo travelers, couples, families, and friends are all welcome. If you want a Kyoto that perfectly matches your passions, let’s create it together!
