**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.
