Hello, I'm Shin! I'm a travel concierge here to guide you through deep experiences in Kyoto! As a native of Kyoto, born and raised here, I have a thorough understanding of Kyoto's culture, traditions, and customs. I would love to introduce you to the many charms of Kyoto that only locals know about. I love Kyoto, but I'm also interested in the history and cultures of the world, and have traveled to about 40 countries so far. Therefore, I understand well what travelers are looking for, and I believe I can make personalized suggestions that suit your needs. From the perspectives of both a Kyoto native and a world traveler, I will assist you in making your trip to Kyoto unique and memorable!
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.
