Bespoke private tours with a local insider.
With 10+ years of expertise in the heart of Japan's ancient capital, I specialize in uncovering the "Real Kyoto" that guidebooks miss.
Slow down and wander through the living history of Kyoto's hidden alleys.
Feel the city breeze where tour buses can't reach — authentic Kyoto is just a pedal away.
From world-class art and architecture to mountain retreats and time-honoured tea and sake — each private day, from hotel pickup to your final stop, is shaped entirely around you.
"We spent an idyllic afternoon cycling around the most peaceful and picturesque parts of Kyoto — canal paths, shrine gardens, we even paddled in the river. Don't hesitate. Book your tour."
"Yuami showed an impressive level of knowledge visiting ten different shrines by bike. It added an extra dimension compared to a standard walking tour. Highly recommend!"
"We saw temples and shrines away from the touristy spots and learned things we could never have understood without expert knowledge. Simply top!"
"We had an incredible morning on this tour, absolutely a highlight of our time in Japan!!! The bento breakfast was lovely also."
"Yuami's tour is very well organised — she explained Shinto culture so well that for a day we felt part of it too. Grazie mille!"

"After a decade in the tourism industry, I've realized that the best of Kyoto isn't found on a map — it's felt in the silence of a morning temple and seen in the backstreets where the tour buses don't go.
In 2025, I founded 月阿弥 (Yuami) to bring back the 'human touch' to travel. As your local host, my mission is simple: to share the stories, the Zen, and the authentic pulse of my city with the care and expertise of a 10-year veteran.
I don't just show you Kyoto; I help you live it."
