Meet Paul

Have a unique experience of Kyoto with professional photographer Paul Crouse, a 23-year resident of the ancient Japanese capital. 

With the success of his popular Kyoto Photo Journeys tour service, Paul is expanding by creating Kyoto Walks in Autumn 2014, a private tour service for non-photographers.

Paul will show you Kyoto in a lively and enjoyable experience from his unique point of view.

Paul tailors custom half-day and full-day experiences with a focus on exploring the beauty, history and culture of this 1,200 year old city.

Originally from the U.S., Paul is a native English speaker who can give you unique insights into Kyoto, and Japanese culture, in a way that only a long-time resident can.
