I have been living in Kyoto for over 20 years, guiding and entertaining visitors from all over the world. I love helping guests create wonderful memories through fun, story-filled experiences of Kyotoâs rich culture.
ăThe Story Behind âTamago Experienceâă
Hello! Iâm kaoru. Thank you for visiting Tamago Experience.âTamagoâ is my nickname, and I chose it as the name of this brand because it is friendly and easy to remember for guests from around the world.ÂÂ I have been living in Kyoto for over 20 years and absolutely love this city. Rather than just being a tour guide, I see myself as an entertainer, helping each guest create truly special and memorable experiences. ÂThrough Tamago Experience, I offer opportunities to explore hidden spots, connect with local people, and enjoy the authentic charm of Japanese cultureâbeyond what guidebooks can show.ÂÂ I look forward to meeting you in Kyoto!Instagram
