Hi, I’m Oneway! I’ve been living in beautiful Kyoto for 20 years now. I love creating cozy spaces—sometimes just changing a corner of the room can give it a whole new feeling! I also enjoy exploring Kyoto’s hidden spots, always looking for delicious food and local gems. Lately, I found a tiny takoyaki place hidden in the backstreets of Gion, and a lovely secret spot along the Philosopher’s Path where the seasonal flowers are breathtaking. I became a host because I want travelers to feel at home while discovering Kyoto — not only its famous temples and shrines, but also the peaceful, everyday charm of living here. I hope to help you experience the warm and relaxed side of Kyoto that locals enjoy. Looking forward to welcoming you and helping you create your own special Kyoto memories!
