This afternoon I did the food tasting tour with Ig This afternoon I did the food tasting tour with Ignazio and his partner. It was a very friendly walking and tasting experience. At some of the shops they wanted to drink beer. I had budget money for their food, but not including a beer budget. But if my guests want to drive beer or sake, of course they can drink with their own extra payment. The most important thing is they can enjoy. So this time they bought their beer with their card. They can be happy, that's my pleasure. #foodtour #privateguide #privatetour #kyotoguide #travelkyoto

At a unique point we could see the beautiful full blooded cherry blossoms. It was fine day! #biketour #privateguide #privatetour #kyotoguide #travelkyoto
Today I did the food tasting tour with Jeff and hi Today I did the food tasting tour with Jeff and his wife. They were so friendly, I could enjoy the tour with them. After the tasting part, we walked through Shinkyogoku street. I already say that this street is an "animal street". Because there are many kinds of animal cafes like a dog cafe, a cat cafe, an owl cafe and a micro pig cafe. They said "awesome!" at every cafe. Totally enjoyable 3 hours for them, and of course for me. #foodtour #privateguide #privatetour #kyotoguide #travelkyoto
This morning I did the walking Gion tour with Kell This morning I did the walking Gion tour with Kelly and her family. On the way they tried 2 snacks. One was a dango, one was a churros. For the youngest 6 years old boy, churros was a kind of familiar taste, but dango wasn't his taste. It was an experience in a different country. It might be nice for him. #walkingtour #privateguide #privatetour #kyotoguide #travelkyoto
Today I did the E-Bike tour with Katrin and her fa Today I did the E-Bike tour with Katrin and her family. It was so good weather, not too cold, but the wind was chilly. This E-Bike tour is 3.5 hours tour. My normal (non) bike tour is 2.5 hours, so we could visit more places. They tried stepping stones at Kamogawa delta, and tried mochi. We could talk a lot about culture, history and food. It was enjoyable 3.5 hours. Katrin said they would come to Kyoto again. I hope so. #biketour #privateguide #privatetour #kyotoguide #travelkyoto

Of course those are not the main kind of cherry blossoms, but so beautiful. There are about 35 kinds of cherry trees. So we can enjoy cherry blossoms from the end of February until the first week of May. Please come now! Now not so many tourists here! #cherryblossom #privateguide #privatetour #kyotoguide #travelkyoto
This morning I did the walking temple tour with Is This morning I did the walking temple tour with Isra. We visited Kiyomizu dera temple, Kenninji zen temple and some more places. At Yasuikonpira shrine, she tried the cutting bad connection ceremony. "This is the shrine where you can cut the bad connection. Sometimes, it's a bad disease, sometimes the bad boss in your office. Do you have a bad boss in your office?" "No, totally no." "Oh you are happy people." "Because I'm the boss in my office!" Yeah, sometimes, boss has some bad workers in the office.... I know.... Anyway we can cut the bad connection here. Cutting the bad connection means we can start to make a good new connection. Yeah, she was a good person, no bad connection around her. So she tried to pray making a good connection today. #walkingtour #privateguide #privatetour #kyotoguide #travelkyoto
Today I did the walking Gion tour with Raquel. Whe Today I did the walking Gion tour with Raquel. When we started, it was still rainy. But within a couple of minutes it stopped. We were lucky. We talked about many kinds of topics like culture, history, politics in the world, the differences between Japan and the other countries. It was such a meaningful conversation. She said it was a fantastic tour at the end of the tour. It was my pleasure. #walkingtour #privateguide #privatetour #kyotoguide #travelkyoto
Today I did the full day tour with Heather, Greg a Today I did the full day tour with Heather, Greg and their kids. It was combined with a touristy area and a totally local area experiences. In this morning we went to Arashiyama bamboo forest, Kinkakuji golden pavilion. After these places we took a bus to the local sushi restaurant for lunch. And after lunch I took them to my neighborhood. For me it was just a normal life walking area but it was a really amazing walking for them they said. If I could visit a city, a local people would take me to the totally local non-touristy area, it might be an awesome experience. Today's tour around my neighborhood should be like that. Around my neighborhood, and of course your neighborhood, there might be awesome special something what just we didn't notice. #walkingtour #privateguide #privatetour #kyotoguide #travelkyoto
It was a snow day. There are not so many snowy day It was a snow day. There are not so many snowy days in Kyoto. Usually 4 or 5 days in one year. Snow makes this city beautiful. Of course it was the same today. On such a snow day, Kinkakuji temple might be the best, most beautiful place in Kyoto. But this morning I went to vote for the national parliament, no time to be there. So I went to Shimogamo shrine. It was amazing. If you have a chance to be in Kyoto on a snow day, you should explore all day from early morning. It should be so great and wonderful day. #kyoto #snow #privateguide #privatetour #travelkyoto
Today I did the walking temple tour with Ana and h Today I did the walking temple tour with Ana and her friend. It was their one day Kyoto trip from Nagoya where they stayed. So we met at Kyoto station this morning and moved to Gion area by subway and bus. At Houkanji temple Famous 5 stories pagoda, it opened today. We could go inside and go up to the second floor. It was chilly, but nice day. It will be a snow day tomorrow. They said they were lucky to come to Kyoto today. I thought so too. #walkingtour #privateguide #privatetour #kyotoguide #travelkyoto
Today I did the 6 hours bike tour with Rhama and h Today I did the 6 hours bike tour with Rhama and his friends. They booked this tour last midnight. I found this booking in this morning! When I met them they said they wanted to go to the highlight place in Kyoto because it was their only a half day for Kyoto visiting, they had to ride on the shinkansen train at 9 pm. So I changed the itinerary and tour time from 3.5 hours to 6 hours. We went to Kitano tenmangu shrine, Kinkakuji golden pavilion, Imperial palace park, kamogawa river, philosopher's path, Nanzenji temple and Gion area. They said "we will talk to all my friends, don't waste time in Tokyo. Real Japan is only in Kyoto!" I think Tokyo is a great city too. But I understand why they said so. I was happy to guide them and became friends with them. #biketour #privateguide #privatetour #kyotoguide #travelkyoto
Today I joined the "Setsubun festival". We believe Today I joined the "Setsubun festival". We believe that the Damons might come to our city from the north east on Setsubun day. So we do this Setsubun festival and throw beans to avoid such Damon. There are so many Setsubun festivals in Kyoto on the 2nd and 3rd of February. It's so fun event.
Today I did the bike tour with Radka and her famil Today I did the bike tour with Radka and her family. In the beginning it was raining. Not too much, but raining. I asked them "you want to wait?" But they said no problem. So we restarted, then the rain stopped within 5 minutes. They came from Australia. I knew the baseball wasn't popular in Australia, but they were baseball fans, so we could talk about baseball a lot. At the end of the bike tour, the temperature became chilly but sky became blue. It was a wonderful bike tour. #biketour #privateguide #privatetour #kyotoguide #travelkyoto
Today I did the food tasting tour with Julia and h Today I did the food tasting tour with Julia and her parents. In the beginning it was so noisy when we met because there was an election gathering. Julia asked me what's that. I said it was an election. She said the election in their country was more noisy. Interesting. They enjoyed the food tasting at Nishiki market. After the tasting we walked around Gion area. Then Julia said they needed some rest because they walked too much today. "There are some cafes. How about?" "Cafe? Sake might be better than coffee..." Oh, big challenge. It was 4:30pm. It was a bit early for Izakaya. So I took them to "Sushiro"! It was a conveyor belt sushi restaurant. They were all full after the food tasting. They ordered only sake. It was unusual, but fantastic food tasting tour! #foodtour #privateguide #privatetour #kyotoguide #travelkyoto
Today I did the bike tour with Susanne and Jack. T Today I did the bike tour with Susanne and Jack. Their request was the philosopher's path but it was not in my normal itinerary. But they wanted, so I changed the itinerary for them, though it meant we should skip some places on my normal bike tour. The philosopher's path was famous for the cherry blossoms but of course no cherry blossoms now. But they said this path was so beautiful. Their pleasure was my pleasure. #biketour #privateguide #privatetour #kyotoguide #travelkyoto
This evening I did the walking tour with Cenk. He This evening I did the walking tour with Cenk. He was a solo tourist. Sometimes my guest is a solo tourist. Then I can talk deeply. And we could talk deeply too. Of course I couldn't say what we talked about, but it was a fun time. He said it was an awesome sunset hour. Totally agree. I said tomorrow might be a snow day, I recommended him to visit Kinkakuji temple golden pavilion because it should be one the best in the world. But he said, maybe, but there would be a possibility that he would stay in his hotel all day. Yeah he should do anything he wants. Maybe I wouldn't go to Kinkakuji temple even if it might be a snow day tomorrow... #walkingtour #privateguide #privatetour #kyotoguide #travelkyoto
Today I did the full day Kyoto tour with Becky and Today I did the full day Kyoto tour with Becky and her husband. It was a chilly but sunny day. This tour was originally booked for yesterday.

We went to Fushimi Inari shrine, Kinkakuji temple golden pavilion, Nijo castle and Kiyomizu dera temple. All the highlights of this city.

This afternoon I did the bike tour with Annemarie This afternoon I did the bike tour with Annemarie and her family. It was a super sunny day. And it was the weekend. Many people are here, there and everywhere. They came from the Netherlands. Netherlands people are usually very good at bike riding. Of course they were all good riders. So we could take enough time at every spot. At Heian jingu shrine they wanted to know the differences between the temple and the shrine. Of course I told the differences. They were interested in Japanese culture, it was my pleasure to talk about such things. #biketour #privateguide #privatetour #kyotoguide #travelkyoto
