About
Hallow ! This is Eric Tanaka.
I was born in Kyoto, and I have been living in Kyoto.
I am sure that Kyoto is one of the best city for sightseeing and living.
I wish if I can introduce some nice places for you by walking around city streets.
Also, in suburbs, there are a lot of nice sightseeing places such as Bamboo forest, Monkey park, Fushimi shrine, Zen practice temples and so on.
Let's enjoy Kyoto town and Kyoto food.with me.

“ Wonderful tour! I would give 6 stars if I could! ”
My wife and I were traveling to the Kyoto area for the first time, and we really wanted a well-informed tour guide given how much there is to do and see in this area. Eric was very well-rated for this region, and we could not have been happier with having had him as our tour guide. In the span of just over 8 hours, Eric took us to multiple historic sites and tourist attractions around Kyoto as well as Nara with great efficiency. Even so, Eric was incredibly friendly and patient with us and we never felt rushed at any point during the day. He was upbeat and enthusiastic the entire time, and he really went above and beyond to make sure that we felt comfortable and that our questions were answered. He was also very well-informed about the relevant history of our tour sites, and he was even ab... read more
Hi Mr Edward Thank you very much for your high rated evaluation I also enjoyed the tour with you How about Ramen, Daicho-Asahi, last night ? I wish if you will have a good time another 2 days in Kyoto If you have a chance to come to Kyoto, please contact with me Eric Tanaka
“ Day trip from Osaka to Nara ”
I hired Eric to guide my parents from Osaka to Nara and back to Osaka for a day trip. He was very conscientious and looked for elevators and escalators for my aging parents and took a slow pace. He guided them to Nara deer park and a temple, then back to Osaka for Skytree and dontonburi exploring. And gave them a great recommendation for shabu shabu lunch. My father speaks a little japanese so that was helpful as Eric has is a bit of a japanese accent. But that did not impact the tour at all. Great guide that listened and took extra time and was able to book him the night before. Thank you!
Thank you for your happy comments to me. My principal on tour is to enjoy tour with our guests and it is my pleasure that we had a good time with your parents Please come to Japan again. Eric Tanaka
“ Visited main temples and beautiful gardens to see autumn foliage... ”
Was very interesting, informative and pleasant walk. Eric is very welcoming, accommodating, patient and has a good sense of humor. He is very attentive to your preferences and interests, he made an itinerary which suited the most my interests and ensured the most efficient use of time. With interesting insights about Japan, Japanese life style and history, it was a very interesting and enjoyable tour. Many thanks.
“ Awesome 1 day guided tour in Kyoto ”
Eric was very organised and knowledgable about all the temples and shrines that we visited. Knew how to move around the city very easily and just made it all easy. I would definitely recommend seeing the sights with Eric!!
Mr Michael I am very happy to hear from you that you enjoyed tour in Kyoto with me Please come to Kyoto again with your friend Thank you for comments !, Eric Tanaka
“ One-day in Kyoto? Eric is a godsend! ”
We had planned to stay 4 days of our 9 day stay in Japan but Typhoon Hagibis put paid to that. Our flights got cancelled 3 days in a row which meant we ended up going to Tokyo directly. I was determined to do at least a day trip to Kyoto even if it meant travelling 2 hrs 40 mins each way on the bullet train. This left us about 8 hours in Kyoto and Eric planned it brilliantly for us He met us at Kyoto station and took us directly by train to Arashiyama and then Kinkakuji temple. Eric took care of buying the entrance tickets everywhere for us (we had given him money for this as soon as we met him) and ensured a smooth experience everywhere! We ended the trip in Gion and the Kodaiji shrine - and also did Fushimi Inari in between. My friends told me they spent 3 days doing all this at leas... read more
Hi Mrs. Antika Thank you for your comments and I am happy to hear from that you enjoyed Kyoto with me. It is lucky that we have visited 5 places in 7.5 hours . On starting we caught a train and seated just 3 minutes in advance , and at last place, Yasaka we arrived there at the twilight time and enjoyed shopping there. Please come to Kyoto again. 1600 temples and 300 shrines are located in Kyoto. Eric Tanaka
