Tiro

Hi, my name is Tiro, and I have been calling Kyoto my home for almost a decade. I have a passion for photography, surfing, and design. Most of all, I love people and sharing this beautiful city with others. With its unique stories, beautiful nature, historic monuments, breathtaking countryside, proud people, and delicious food, it's easy to see why Kyoto is the heart of Japan. Let me be your guide. You can choose from my tour offers or I can create a custom tour for you.
