Hi! I'm Toshiyo . Please call me Toshi. I was born in Japan and have lived in Vancouver, Canada for about 10 years. I'm a National Government Licensed Guide, guide trainer a professional program organized by Kyoto city, English teacher,translator, professional breakdancer, and father of two young kids.

I used to be a business planner in a manufacturing company. After working in the corporate world for 6 years, I made a decision to quit the company because I found a perfect job for myself: tour guide. I love my city Kyoto, and my mission now is share this very unique city with people from all over the world.
I'd love to guide you to this city of 1200 years of history, share what I know about the modern and tradition, connect you to Japanese history and culture, take you to beautiful scenic locations, and support you making your trip UNFORGETABLE!!

I conduct over 100 private tours a year, and proud to say about 35% of my guests are either returning or by referral as of today (Jul. 2019).

Please join my tour, I will only try my best for you to make some great memories here in Kyoto.
See you soon.
