Hola! Encantado de conocerte

RYUKI

Hii there! I am Your Kyoto-born guide, RYÜKI.

(I’ve lived in Kyoto since I was born!!😊✨)

Welcome to Kyoto, a city where history, culture, and beauty come together – and there’s no better way to experience it than with a true local. Born and raised in this incredible city, I’ve spent my life soaking in its stories, secrets, and hidden gems. With over 3 years of experience as a tour guide and a major in history, I’m here to bring Kyoto’s fascinating past to life and share its most unforgettable spots with you.

What makes Kyoto so special?

From the iconic Fushimi Inari Shrine and the stunning Kiyomizu-dera Temple to the peaceful beauty of Arashiyama, Kyoto is a treasure trove of ancient landmarks. But I’ll also take you off the beaten path to uncover hidden temples, secret shrines, and local food that’ll make your taste buds dance. As a Kyoto native, I know this city like the back of my hand – from the best ramen spots to the perfect photography angles, and the stories behind every corner.

Oh, and did I mention I speak fluent English? That means you don’t have to worry about language barriers – I’ll make sure you’re fully immersed in the experience without missing a thing.

Let’s make your Kyoto adventure unforgettable!

Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a repeat traveler, I’ll craft an experience tailored just for you. Get ready to explore famous landmarks, savor delicious local dishes, and uncover the stories that have shaped Kyoto’s rich history. Together, we’ll create memories you’ll never forget!

We had an amazing experience in Kyoto thanks to our wonderful tour guide. He was kind, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable—sharing the city’s history with real passion and excitement. He handled our large group of 10 (including teenage kids!) with ease and was especially great with the children, keeping them engaged and happy throughout the day. He was on time, organized, and sweet, and made our day in Kyoto truly unforgettable. Highly recommend! Big group with teen children.

Ryuki was a great guide for our 3 hour tour of the Gion area of Tokyo. He took a group of 5 adults (23-56) and kept us entertained and informed while showing us memorable shrines, hidden gems and the Geiko region of Gion. We even had time to stop for delicious cherry blossom ice cream - highly recommended!Great tour with Ryuki

Ryuki is a great guide who is born in Kyoto and his family lives there since the emperor time. He studied history and can combine historic information with local knowledge and stories. Furthermore, he is a funny guy and we had a lot of fun together. Overall, it was a perfect day with him. And by the way, all his restaurant recommendations (also for the next days) were spot on.Perfect day with a great guide

We (millenial couple from the UK) had such a great time with Ryuki as our guide in Kyoto! He was warm, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable — exactly what we were hoping for. We were curious about all the little historical details and Ryuki had answers (and stories) for everything. He also brought us to an amazing local lunch spot and had us tasting all kinds of delicious snacks throughout the day, always honest about what was worth trying. Even though he does these tours often, he was super patient with us stopping for photos at every tourist spot (thanks Ryuki!) and he blended our planned itinerary with his own suggestions perfectly. Plus, being from Kyoto himself, his personal stories really brought everything to life. We would’ve happily done 2–3 more days with him if we could’ve — highly recommend! P.s. we visited like 5 different sites in one day in 8 hours, absolutely insane performance :)A local legend!

A last minute booking after enjoying a walking tour with Ryuki the previous day we thoroughly enjoyed our food tour and spending time with Ryuki again . We started our tour with some fabulous sushi at a standing bar , somewhere we may not have ventured into ourselves . Ryuki is a real foodie and shared so much knowledge about Japanese food . Ryuki navigated us around the Nishiki market seeking out lots of things for us to try while accomodating special requests . So delicious . On parting ways Ryuki gave us recommendations for ramen for dinner . I highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to sample and learn more about Japanese food and Ryuki was the perfect guide for us . Arigato gozaimasu Ryuki. Food lovers paradise

Ryuki was a fantastic guide - delightful company and a Kyoto local who shared so much knowledge about his city and its history and culture in an interesting and enjoyable way . The pace was perfect and there was time along the way to stop for cherry blossom ice- cream which was an added bonus . We enjoyed our time with Ryuki so much that we booked a food walking tour with him the next day . Wonderful walking tour with Ryuki

Ryuki was a very knowledgeable guide that showed us the all the important sites with explanations of what we were viewing. He knew all the best sites for the perfect photo opportunities. He was able to answer all of our questions and picked out a great place for some local snacks and gave good recommendations on other not miss sites in Kyoto. Highly recommended guide

We highly recommend Ryuki for a local experience food tour. Thanks!Awesome food tour with Ryuki!
