Hi, I'm Tomo.

I like to show my guests various aspects of unique Japanese culture especially in Kyoto, such as Japanese gardens, Buddhist sculptures, temples and shrines, Zen Buddhism and Japanese food. Also, since I am an experienced and mature person who has lived in Japan all my life, I feel that I can chat about everyday life with my guests, something I think that foreign visitors are interested in.I would like to help my guests enjoy unique, interesting, beautiful and delicious Kyoto, making the most of their time on the tour.

Since I became a national government licensed tour guide in 2010, I have been working as a tour guide for the tourists from various countries:
1.Group tours of 5-16 days for 10 people up to 30 people visiting popular tourist destinations throughout Japan.
2.Private tours of 1 day up to 3 days for 1-8 people in Kyoto, Nara, Osaka, Kanazawa Nagano and the Mt. Fuji area.

In my free time, I definitely like to travel. Also, I like to practice yoga, spend time with my cats and I learn Spanish to stimulate my brain.

Hoping to see you in the tour!

I had a great experience with Tomo. This was my first yoga retreat in Kyoto and brought 13people from US. I born and raised in Chiba, Japan so not familiar in Kyoto. Most of people have never been to Japan in my group so they asked me a lot of questions about Kyoto and Japanese culture and I was not able to answers all of them. Last day, We met Tomo and she took us to Jyushoin for Zen meditation and Taikoin for matcha. She translated what monk said and answered questions. Her knowledge and english are amazing. If you need a guide and translator, I really recommend her. She is kind and charming. Arigatou gozaimasu, Tomosan.
