Miyako from Japan

Miyako from Japan is a Kyoto-based cultural travel company offering private, tailor-made experiences for travelers visiting Kyoto, Osaka, and Nara (and other cities as Hiroshima or Tokyo).

For over 15 years, Mari & Max (experienced guides and calligraphy teachers) have built a reputation for delivering highly personalized, authentic, and locally grounded services — from private tours to cultural workshops and geisha dinners.

They take pride in sharing fascinating stories about each destination we visit and strive to become a part of your cherished memories of Japan.

Their calligraphy workshop is one not to miss! A relaxed, hands-on session in a stunning traditional machiya where you'll learn the art form from the experts themselves.
