I’m Russ, a Welsh guide who has called Kyoto home since 2013. With a background in landscape architecture and garden history, I enjoy sharing the stories behind the city’s gardens, streets and scenery.Since 2017, I’ve been guiding visitors through Kyoto on foot and by bicycle. My tours make time for questions, photographs and the small discoveries along the way—from riverside paths and quiet shrines to neighbourhood shops and local snacks.Tell me what interests you, and we’ll shape a tour around it.
