Itinerary
A Kansai native, which includes the Kyoto and Osaka regions, Masayo was born and raised in Osaka and moved to Kyoto with her family eight years ago. She and her husband decided to buy and renovate an old, historical house into their family home in Kyoto. Masayo's mother inspired her passion for cooking but what really drove her to hone her cooking skills was her desire to delight her husband with beautiful and delicious dishes! Feel free to let Masayo know if there are any specific Japanese dishes that you would like to try. 

Please note: Masayo speaks limited English and her friend will join your experience as a translator.
