About Me, Paku
I have a great love for Kyoto, I know the city well and I speak English fluently. When I was in high school I lived in Australia and in university I lived in London. After returning to Japan I worked in a famous ryokan in Gion for 2 years because I wanted to learn about Kyoto culture deeply and wear a kimono everyday. I now work as an interpreter for foreign visitors to Kyoto.

I have guided many friends around Kyoto and took the on various adventures. Some of them I dressed in kimono and made them up like geisha and maiko.
