**Title:** What's a Private One-Day Kyoto Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report on Kinkaku-ji, Fushimi Inari, and Kiyomizu-dera
**Body:** The guests arrived from Osaka, so the meeting time started 30 minutes later than planned. The group was light on their feet, leaving only their luggage at the hotel before heading straight to Kinkaku-ji. From there, we took a bus and the Keihan Line to Fushimi Inari. Along the way, we bought some bread and other items at a bakery, then passed through Gion and the Higashiyama teahouse district on our way to Kiyomizu-dera. It was the first visit to Japan for most of the guests, and they were curious about all sorts of things and very cheerful, which made guiding them a pleasure. At the end, since they had not yet been to a conveyor-belt sushi restaurant, I took them to a sushi restaurant in Gion.

Hi there, I’m Yuka. Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I live in an onsen (hot spring) town in Hyogo prefecture. When I was working at Narita international airport as well as living in Bangkok Thailand for about 10 years, I really loved talking with people from various countries. After I came back to Japan, I got interested in guiding my beautiful country to people from abroad then I got the national guide license. I’m now working as a tour leader visiting mainly Tokyo, Hakone, Takayama, Hiroshima, Himeji and Kyoto for about 2 years. I’d like to introduce my country to you as your local friend in Japan. Hope to see you soon.

Tripadvisor review: Kyoto 4hr Private Tour with Government-Licensed Guide
Tolle Tour mit einer grosartigen Guide
Yuka ist eine sehr freundliche und professionelle Guide. Ihr Englisch war sehr gut verstandlich und sie hat uns zu tollen Orten gefuhrt, wahrend sie spannende Hintergrundinformationen geteilt hat.
Da an unserem Tag nicht so viele Menschen unterwegs waren, kamen wir mit der Tour sehr gut voran und hatten am Ende sogar noch Zeit fur ein gemeinsames Essen.
Insgesamt war es ein rundum tolles Erlebnis ? ich kann die Tour mit Yuka absolut weiterempfehlen!

素晴らしいガイドによる最高のツアー
(Tripadvisorレビュー:京都4時間プライベートツアー(公認ガイド付き))
ユカさんはとても親切でプロフェッショナルなガイドでした。英語もとても分かりやすく、興味深い背景情報を交えながら素晴らしい場所へ案内してくれました。
当日は人出もそれほど多くなかったため、ツアーはとてもスムーズに進み、最後には一緒に食事を楽しむ時間までありました。
全体として本当に素晴らしい体験で、ユカさんのツアーを心からおすすめします!
