What Is a Private Kyoto Day Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report on Fushimi Inari, Kyoto Imperial Palace, and Nishiki Market
The guests were a group visiting Japan from North America. As they wished to see Fushimi Inari, the Kyoto Imperial Palace, and Nishiki Market, we took a taxi from Fushimi Inari to the Kyoto Imperial Palace to save time. One of the guests was especially interested in Japanese history and asked many detailed questions. It was another very hot day, but the guests took a liking to the menthol cooling sheets I offered them and even bought some at a drugstore along the way. I believe they enjoyed their first visit to Japan.

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.

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!

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！
