Hello! I am Kayoko Sakakibara. Just call me Cherry.
I was born in Osaka and have lived in Kyoto for 30 years. I brought up three sons who are all 20’s.
I like visiting temples, shrines and museums. I also like cooking and reading manga. I have been a guide for many years in the temple called Daitokuji that is the center of Japanese Culture.
As a resident of Kyoto City, I’d like to assist people visiting Kyoto to enjoy good food, Japanese culture, history , small streets, and hidden gems.
If you don’t feel like visiting crowded places, I can show you less crowded but beautiful places.
