Hi, I’m Moyuru! I’m a backpacker living in Kyoto and the Kansai region of Japan. I’ve traveled all over the world—but in the end, I truly love this place I call home. I used to work at Universal Studios Japan, where I met people from all around the globe. That experience inspired me to start this blog—to show travelers like you the real Kyoto and Kansai. Here, I’ll share local tips, hidden spots, and honest stories you won’t find in guidebooks. Whether it’s a cozy local diner, a peaceful shrine, or a shortcut to beat the crowds—I’ve got you covered. Let’s explore Beyond Kyoto together. Hope you find something that makes your trip even more amazing!
