Yamatora Tours Kyoto

For a obvious reason, Yamatora Tour is not providing its service. I’m so grateful almost everyday I get some likes.

I became professional translator working on translation and subtitling.

Art catalogues, movie scripts, Red Bull TV, Netflix, travel documentaries, and so on. Yamatora Tours has evolved into Yamatora Language Service😀

Feel free to send an inquiry.

Early lotus season: Hokongo-In Temple is known for gorgeous lotus flowers. Lotuses come into bloom four times, once a day, and in the afternoon of the fourth day after the first bloom, the petals fall off. It’s a symbolic flower in Buddhism. If you are planning to come to Kyoto in July, please let me know and perhaps we could incorporate an early morning visit to view the lotuses during your tour.

May, 2018: I guided a group of three from Canada to Fushimi-Inari Shrine, Tofukuji Zen temple and the Gion. In the Gion we were incredibly fortunate to see a maiko making the rounds of the area, greeting clients and local people, as part of her ceremonial debut. It was a very rare moment and the perfect opportunity to learn more about Geisha culture in Kyoto.

Geisha culture hasn’t died out yet, rather it’s flourishing and deeply-rooted here in Kyoto. An apprentice is called a maiko, and although in general access to maiko is quite restricted, some restaurants have connections which allow customers to spend time in their company.

A private tour “Lesser-known Kyoto”
We can arrange a private tour to incorporate hidden gems where you can find truly peaceful moments. Zuishin-in Buddhist temple is located in the outskirts of Kyoto City. May is the best time of year to appreciate its beautiful green moss.

March, 2018, I guided an American couple in Kyoto. I crafted their itineraries incorporating my recommendations, visited Murin-an garden for a few peaceful moments in the morning and Honmanji for the weeping cherry tree which was in bloom, both of them were quite happy about the places we covered today. The husband is a big fan of sake, so I made sure he purchased some Kyoto sake at Nishiki Market.
