Hi! I’m Clifton, originally from Singapore and have been living in Japan for 20 over years now, 20 years in Kyoto and 3 years in Tokyo. I speak English, Japanese and Taiwanese Mandarin. I’m an ordained Buddhist priest and can tailor tours for those who’d like to know more about Japanese religions and culture. I’ve also been practicing Japanese tea ceremony (chanoyu or chado) for more than a decade so I can also introduce or demonstrate tea ceremony for those who are interested.

Clifton was great!! He was very knowledgeable about the area, knew great shortcuts to take, and was super personable. He even helped people near us who seemed lost; just a very friendly and professional guide through and through. We had a great time with him and would absolutely book again!
