What to Expect

Starting from Nara, while walking across the huge Nara park with its thousands deer and appreciating the monumental type of temples, I would like not only to show you the best spots for taking pictures, but also talk to you all about the significance of this city.

After Nara we will visit Fushimi Inari Taisha in Kyoto. There I will have the chance to talk to you comparatively and extensively about the the two main religions in Japan(Buddhism and Shintoism) and about the two ancient cities(Nara and Kyoto), its roll along the Japanese history and its influence in present day daily life in the country.

Of course Beside of that I always enjoy to share my experiences and describe my life as a resident in this area of Japan to give you a better about how is it to be here for long time.

I meant personalized, at the title of this tour, as I like to meet and communicate with people of any background, nationality or kind group; being couples, families, groups of friends, young, aged, etc. And also I can adapt myself, the rhythm, food, and comments of any site to any of these kind o groups.

With personal I pointed out the way I see this, I like to be the very opposite of a machine of the service sector, and instead; not only talk in an empathic way, but finish at the end with the feeling of a certain kind of friendship with you.

-There are itineraries for all the tours but they are flexible in the sense that new places to visit can be added and others removed in accordance to the requests of the travellers-
