Hi, I’m Marielle, a friendly local guide based in Kyoto with a passion for sharing the beauty, culture, and hidden gems of Japan.As a teacher and experienced guide, I love meeting people from around the world and creating tours that feel personal, fun, and authentic.

I enjoy Japanese history, traditional culture, local food, castles, temples, kawaii experiences, and discovering places beyond the typical tourist spots.I also love customizing tours based on my guests’ interests so they can enjoy Japan in their own unique way.

What makes me a great guide is my warm personality, flexibility, and attention to detail.I want every guest to feel comfortable, welcomed, and excited throughout the experience.Whether it’s your first time in Japan or you’re returning for another adventure, I’ll do my best to help you create unforgettable memories.
