    Description

    Hello, I am Ayako.
    I live in Kyoto.

    About My Family
    * We are a family of four:
    * Ayako (mother, 43) – I enjoy baking sweets.
    * Kunihiro (father, 40) – He loves bouldering.
    * Anne (daughter, 6) – She loves Disney Princesses.
    * Minoru (son, 3)– He loves Mickey.


    Our Location

    We live in Kyoto, in a convenient location with easy access to both Kyoto and Osaka.

    The nearest train station is about a 15-minute walk from our home, and it takes around 15 minutes by train to get to Kyoto Station. The station is also served by limited express trains, so you can reach Osaka in less than an hour.

    Our neighborhood is known for its many traditional sake breweries. In spring and autumn, there are local sake festivals where you can experience Japanese sake and the atmosphere of the area.

    I love events, sightseeing and exploring new places, so I am very happy to share my knowledge of Kyoto with our guests. If you are interested in sightseeing, local events, food or Japanese culture, please feel free to ask me for recommendations.

    I am also happy to help you plan activities for your days off and suggest places that match your interests. There are many wonderful places to discover in and around Kyoto!
