What you'll do
See Kyoto craft coffee through the eyes of a photographer!
Many people say that good coffee is hard to find in Japan, but I'm here to prove them wrong! If you know where to look (and I’ve spent a lot of time looking!), there are so many cool spots to be found in Kyoto!
We will explore some of my favorite coffee shops in Kyoto (and possibly stop for a treat or two along the way). I’ll introduce you to some of the friends that I’ve made during my time here in Japan, including some locals and coffee shop owners.
Depending on your caffeine tolerance, we can visit up to three coffee shops as we explore Kyoto together. Let me know your favorite kinds of coffees and tastes, and I can take you to the shops that I think best match them! I’ll bring my camera with me as well, to capture our coffee drinking, Kyoto exploring adventures together. I’ll send you guys home with an awesome collection of photos that you can use to brag to your friends about your time in Japan as well as to prove to them that good coffee exists in Japan!
** I also run a coffee tour in Osaka! [https://www.airbnb.com/experiences/1639458]
For both tours, if you cannot find an available date, please contact me! I may be able to open up a time for you!

As an international barista for over 5 years, I’ve had the opportunity to work in and manage coffee shops in my hometown of San Francisco, California as well as in Brisbane, Australia! My love of coffee has made me appreciate all the unique international coffee cultures, and I’ve also been fortunate enough to have traveled around the world and experienced it for myself!
Coffee is a passion and a joy of mine, more than it is a job. And I love being able to share that passion with others as well!
Photography is also one of my passions that I’ve been able to take with me around the world. From cafes in California to weddings in Australia, photography has become another important hobby-turned-passion/job.

Where you'll be
Kyoto, the old capital of Japan, is world famous for it’s tradition and beauty. But what’s less known are the great coffee shops sprinkled in between the tradition!
We will start in the downtown shopping district of Kawaramachi and work our way towards Karasuma, one of the busiest stations in Kyoto. In between coffee shops we'll get the chance to explore some local stores and boutiques, and maybe even get to try a treat or two!

I really enjoyed it, it was fun walking through Kyoto and discovering new coffee shops while engaging in conversation with the people and culture around us, it felt very natural. We drank great coffee, had a fun time and got awesome pictures. You should try!

This was a really fun experience and I'd definitely recommend to friends. Matt went out of his way to accommodate for the dog and is an overall friendly easy going guy. All the cafe owners knew him, a testimony to his knowledge and connections! All in all, a great time even in the rain and heat. Thanks Matt!
