I created Curated Kyoto after working in a media department and noticing a significant gap in the way Kyoto was being represented. While there was plenty of information about major tourist sites, very little captured the soul of the city—it's quiet beauty, layered culture, and the details that make Kyoto truly special.
Headed by Sara Aiko, Curated Kyoto blends the best of traditional
Kyoto with under the radar locations and artists.
Sara is the first person I call whenever I touch down in Kyoto.
Her extensive local knowledge & extremely helpful
and friendly demeanor is what sets her apart from the rest

For all of your Kyoto needs, hire Sara Aiko!
She's young, hip and in the know for all things trendy and traditional.
Before meeting, she mapped out an entire itinerary for me and my friends.
We learned so much about Japanese culture at the shrines, ryokans and "hard to get reservations" restaurants.
