Profile
Hello, I'm Shin! I am a travel concierge who will guide you to an in-depth experience in Kyoto! I am a native Kyotoite, born and raised in Kyoto. My parents are also from Kyoto, and I grew up being taught about Kyoto culture from a young age, so I have a good understanding of the local culture, traditions and customs. I would like to introduce to you the many charms of Kyoto that only locals know about. While I love Kyoto, I am also interested in the history and culture of the world, and have traveled to about 40 countries on four continents so far. Therefore, I believe I can help travelers who wish to take part in local experiences, as well as understand what kind of experiences they are looking for, and the problems they may encounter during their trip. From the perspective of both a native Kyotoite and a world traveler, I will assist you in making your trip to Kyoto a unique and memorable experience!
Why we can
Why are we able to introduce you to "Eemon"?
Hi! We are Sharing Kyoto, a group of people that has come together around a shared passion for Kyoto. Sharing Kyoto provides concierge services specialized in Kyoto for foreign visitors to Kyoto. The Kyoto we want to convey through our concierge service is the "real” Kyoto. Sometimes it is something that has been loved for a long time, has a long history or tradition, or is trendy. What we consider an authentic experience in Kyoto has not only to do with luxury or highly reviewed things. We are constantly looking for the most valuable and authentic travel experiences by exploring Kyoto on our own and finding new ideas.
