In the words of Yuki:
"I was born in Gion, the heart of old Kyoto, where my mother
ran a "ryokan"( traditional Japanese inn), which is still
being operated by her relatives. My family moved to Kameoka when
I was 10 years old, where my father had a house and rice farm."
"I have been in a travel business for more than 20 years,
and I know how wonderful and important it is to see not just famous
historical places but also to experience the real culture and traditions
in people's lives and have direct contact with the local people.
I would like to give such an opportunity to foreign visitors. I
had such opportunities in foreign countries many times, and
I have so many wonderful memories of my experiences there."
"Kameoka has become a bedroom community of Kyoto, but my
village has not changed so much since I was a child: it's still
very quiet and surrounded by rice paddies. There are bamboo craftsman,
tatami mat craftsmen, and tofu-makers in the village. You can still
find traditional Japanese culture here."
"A beautiful 20 minutes drive takes you to a hot spring area called Hiyoshi, and another 20 minutes takes you to a mountain
village called Miyama, which has more than 200 traditional farm
houses with thatched roofs. A 3 hour drive through the pretty countryside
takes you to the Japan Sea."
"Stay at my house and enjoy both modern city and traditional
village life!"
