About Tour Guide Yuta I.

Hi everyone! My name is Yuta!


Thanks for checking out my profile.


I've been living in Kyoto for over 4 years, and I love exploring and sharing the city's amazing history and culture with people from all over the world. During university, I spent over a year traveling around Europe, which helped me become fluent in English and German.


I studied at the University of Leipzig in Germany and got great experience through an internship there. My wife is German, so I'm always in an international environment, learning about different cultures.


Besides guiding tours, I'm also a social media influencer with over 10,000 Instagram followers. I love sharing interesting content about Japanese and German life, connecting with people globally, and showing off the beauty of Kyoto.


I offer custom tours for individuals and groups, making sure each experience is unique and special. With my deep knowledge of Kyoto's historical sites and architecture, I'll make your visit to Japan's ancient capital fun and enlightening.


During our tour, I'll share cool historical insights and stories about the places we visit, helping you understand Japan's past and its connection to the present. I'm friendly and attentive, so I'll make sure you have a great time in Japan!


Feel free to message me if you have any questions about your trip to Japan!


Hope to see you soon on one of my tours.

Ein sch?ner Tag in Kyoto

Yuta hat uns für einen Tag Kyoto nähergebracht. Die vorgeschlagene Tour war genau was wir gesucht haben. Er hat uns die berühmtesten Sehenswürdigkeiten gezeigt und sehr interessant über diese und das Leben in Japan berichtet. Yuta’s Deutschkenntnisse sind sehr gut und wir hatten viel Spaß miteinander. Da es ein sehr heißer Tag war, hat er sich super um unser persönliches Wohlergehen gekümmert. Wir können Yuta als Reiseführer gerne weiterempfehlen. Liebe Grüße und vielen Dank noch mal von Anja und Heidi.

Ihre Fragen und das Interesse an Japan haben mir viel Spaß gemacht. Ich freue mich, dass mein Deutsch euch geholfen hat und wir uns gut verständigen konnten. Wenn Sie wieder nach Japan kommen, würde ich mich sehr freuen, Ihnen wieder zu sehen. Vielen Dank!

Hello, Chad! Thank you for signing up for my tour! You were so friendly from the moment we met, it didn't feel like we were meeting for the first time. It was fun to share Japanese culture and customs with you and your family. It was also a great time to hear about American customs and politics with you guys! I'll contact you again when I go to America! Thank you so much:)

Private Tours of Nara and Kyoto with Yuta!

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!!! I’m so happy that I found Yuta to be our private guide for Nara and Kyoto. He met us in Osaka, got us to Nara, visited all of the places that we wanted to see, found a great place for lunch, which my daughter says was her favorite meal in Japan, then took us all the way back to our hotel in Osaka. On our second day, we met Yuta in Kyoto, and he took us to all of the places that wanted to see and more. Our restaurant for lunch was closed, but we found a great omakase place, which was awesome! Touring with Yuta was the best decision that I made. He’s knowledgeable, funny, understanding of individual needs in the group, and a great guy. When we needed a break from the heat, he knew exactly where to go to get some cool AC! The next time, we’re in the Kyoto/Osaka area, I will definitely be contact Yuta!

Hi Suzette!! Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was an absolute pleasure to guide you and your family through Nara and Kyoto. I was able to talk with you not only about sightseeing, but also about Japanese customs and manners, which made the tour always exciting. Your kind words mean a lot to me, and I look forward to welcoming you back to the Kyoto/Osaka area in the future. I would love to guide you again! Thank you again!!
