Hello, I'm Keiko. I have two national qualifications as a tour guide, one is English, and the other is German. I was brought up in Kyoto, among a lot of old Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines.(ex. Kiyomizu Temple, Toji Temple, Yasaka Shrine, Heian Shrine, Fushimi Inari Shrine and so on) Some of them are now famous worldwide and on the UNESCO World Heritage List. From childhood, a daily sight with a lot of tourists from abroad has been quite normal for me. I had already been thinking,"What can I do for them?" (Of course, I'm thinking of it today, too.) And the answer was,"I would be a guide, to make their time in Kyoto much more wonderful". At last, the time has come! There are uncountable sightseeing spots in Kyoto, so you'll need some help, if you want to see and go around the city efficiently. It's much better with a guide who knows Kyoto very well, just like me! And furthermore, it'll lead you to a better understanding of Japanese culture. Don't hesitate to ask me, I can arrange the best trip for you, with a lot of choices and something to fit your taste.
Hallo, ich heiße Keiko. Ich habe zwei nationale Qualifikationen als Reiseleiterin, eine ist Englisch, und die andere ist Deutsch. (Ich habe das Studium von Germanistik abgeschlossen.) Ich bin in Kyoto, unter vielen alten buddhistischen Tempeln und Shinto-Schreinen aufgewachsen. (z.B. Kiyomizu Tempel, Toji Tempel, Yasaka Schrein Heian Schrein, Fushimi Inari Schrein usw.) Einige von ihnen sind heute weltweit bekannt, und auf der Liste vom UNESCO Welterbe. Von Kindheit an ist mir ein täglicher Anblick mit vielen ausländischen Touristen ganz normal. Ich hatte schon gedacht,"was kann ich für sie tun?" (Natürlich denke ich daran heute auch.) Und die Antwort war,"ich werde Reiseleiterin, um ihre Zeit in Kyoto viel wunderbarer zu machen". Endlich kommt die Zeit! Es gibt unzählbare Sehenswürdigkeiten in Kyoto, deshalb werden Sie einige Hilfe brauchen, wenn Sie gut in der Stadt herumlaufen möchten. Es ist viel besser mit einer Reiseleiterin, die so gut Kyoto kennt, gerade wie ich! Außerdem wird es Sie zu einem besseren Verständnis von der japanischen Kultur führen. Bitte fragen Sie mich, ohne zu zögern! Mit vielen Wahlen und je nach Geschmack kann ich für Sie die beste Reise arrangieren.

“ Kyoto with Keiko ”
Our family recently visited Kyoto with Keiko as a guide for two of the three days we were there. We can't imagine having navigated Kyoto without her! She is an excellent tour guide. Keiko is professional, knowledgeable, patient, and considerate. She was flexible when we changed plans and frequently adjusted the pace to fit us. She answered our many questions about Japanese culture; she has a good command of English so communication was easy. She did her utmost to guarantee we had a good experience in Kyoto. We would highly recommend her!

“ Kyoto in a day ”
Outstanding day. Keiko is highly intelligent; she is very articulate; her English is extremely good; she was knowledgeable about everything we discussed; she is friendly, thoughtful and helpful. She has a passion about her job and about Kyoto; she was anxious to show us all the important aspects of her city irrespective of time. We really enjoyed being with Keiko and would like you to pass on our thanks for a great day.
