Alfred & Yiling Chio

Yiling – or Rinrin, as she’s sometimes known – was born in Singapore, but her love of travel and sense of adventure led her to a life in Japan. She began by taking visitors around Kyoto and Osaka for fun, but the positive feedback she received encouraged her to turn to guiding on a more permanent basis. Yiling has a passion for exploring every nook and cranny of a city and describes herself as ‘a walking GPS’ for Osaka and Kyoto.
