About
Guided by a Kyoto Native
Born and raised in Kyoto, I come from a fourth-generation kimono family and study the Yabunouchi tradition of tea.
I guide guests through tea ceremony, artisan visits, and private experiences that offer a closer look at Kyoto’s living culture.
My aim is to make these traditions approachable, personal, and easy to enjoy, even if it is your first time experiencing them.
