Feb. 2018, I took a group of 6 architects from Australia to Katsura Imperial Villa, Arashiyama, Daitokuji Temple and a cafe called Startdust cafe. I got the enquiry on the previous day, and I promptly coordinated everything they needed to fulfil their requests including hiring a van. It was a bit rash with tight itinerary, yet all guests enjoyed what they achieved with the limited amount of time.

May, 2018: I guided a group of three from Canada to Fushimi-Inari Shrine, Tofukuji Zen temple and the Gion. In the Gion we were incredibly fortunate to see a maiko making the rounds of the area, greeting clients and local people, as part of her ceremonial debut. It was a very rare moment and the perfect opportunity to learn more about Geisha culture in Kyoto.

Nov.2017 I got an enquiry through this website and led a private tour for 3 Kiwis. With their limited days and time, I provided the best possible tour to get a snapshot of Kyoto. The girls quickly got to love Japan and realised they didn't have enough time to see Kyoto. They were only beginning to embrace their lifelong passion for Kyoto. Photo: One of the guests started collecting calligraphy.

An article I wrote has been published online on a local web-magazine geared toward residents and tourists from overseas. It was published by a leading publishing company in Kyoto. The article is about Fucha ryori , a type of Buddhist cuisine.
Vegan Buddhist Cuisine – Have you ever come across fucha ryori ?

March 2018, I guided a group of 3 from New Zealand in Kyoto for two days. I incorporated Hojuji Temple to show gracious l doll collection display. Day 2 started with Kyoto Tower observation deck according to their request. All of them enjoyed the panoramic views where you can see historical buildings all over, I gave explanations to everything the guests were interested in.
