I’m Ben. I moved to Kyoto eight years ago after marrying my wife, who’s from here, and over time this city really became home for me. I’ve been working as a guide for the past few years, leading history walks, food tours, and cultural experiences all around Kyoto. If you’re curious about geisha(geiko) culture, kimono, tea ceremony, even Japanese drums… or just want to know where locals actually go—I’d be happy to point you in the right direction. Feel free to reach out anytime. I’m here to help you enjoy Kyoto in the most authentic way possible.
Very good tour! I showed up alone and he did a private tour just for me.
This Tour was awesome. From the first minute Benjamin felt more like a friend showing me his neighbourhood rather than a tourguide. He led me to great photo spots and also took photos of me - his superpower: taking photos, where no other people are in the frame (even if hundreds of other tourists are around). I highly recommend a tour with Benjamin.
El mejor guía que hemos tenido en Japón. Se los recomiendo mucho. La información, el recorrido y si amabilidad excelente.
Benjamin was very knowledgeable about the history of Japan and the sites he took us to.
Ben ile gezmek gayet keyifliydi. Guzel bir rotada bizi gezdirdi. Bitiminde de guzel tavsiyelerde bulundu. Orayı daha iyi görmemizi sağladı teşekkürler. Sayesinde kyotoda bir davul performansını da izleme fırsatını buldum.
