This program was created to provide visitors with a reliable way to find and hire guides who are able to explain the full depth of Kyoto’s charming culture and history. (English and Chinese speaking guides available.)

On August 27^th, the first group of guides completed their training and certification and are already working hard assisting excursions put on by international meetings and accompanying visiting media.

City of Kyoto Visitors Hosts can be arranged using Clematis, the program’s special search engine. These guides are great options for meeting participants who want to do some sightseeing, or for using in planned excursions for your guests.
