Discover Kyoto with Craig — Your Local Guide to Timeless Japan
Walking. Cycling. Luxury Tours in a Toyota Alphard.
About Craig
Hi, I’m Craig — originally from Australia, but I’ve called Kyoto home for over 15 years. Like many visitors, I first came here enchanted by the beauty of the temples, the rhythm of the seasons, and the deep cultural soul of the city. What started as a short stay turned into a lifelong love.
I built a life and family here, and now I get to share my favorite hidden paths, scenic bike routes, quiet tea houses, and local stories with curious travelers from around the world.
Whether it’s your first visit or your fifth, I’ll help you see a side of Kyoto most tourists miss — with depth, comfort, and a personal touch.

Testimonials
“We had a wonderful time on the tour! Thank you for all of the information on the area and history. I think it set us up to enjoy the rest of our time here and understand the area better than we would have. We also loved seeing 2 Geiko's on the first night in Kyoto!”
Stacy and Gavin L.

Hi Craig, quick note to let you know that our entire family enjoyed your tour last night, including the easily distracted and demanding teenagers. We all learnt something new (‘kaizen’).
