Hiroyuki T.
Hi! I had been working for Wakayama Prefectural Government for 38 years, mainly in the field of cultural heritage management and international relations. I am a national certificated English guide and I have a lot of knowledge and experience in the field of cultural heritage management and international relations. I am very good at cultural heritages. And Koyasan and Kumano in Wakayama Prefecture are inscribed in the World Heritage List as parts of “Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range". I was a project manager of "the Koyasan and Kumano World Heritage Inscription Project” at Wakayama Prefectural Government. I know inside and out of Koyasan, Kumano, Wakayama and other places in the Kansai area. I have a lot of experience of guiding as I was also in charge of international relations for a long time at the government. I will be able to provide interpretive guiding service for you around Koyasan, Wakayama, Kyoto, Osaka and other places as I was a cultural heritage management and international relations professional. I am sure you will be able to get deeper understandings on Japanese culture and that your trip with me will be memorable one. If you need a good guide in the Tokyo area, I have a friend on GoWithGuide I can recommend you!
Yoshiharu K.
Hi! I'm Yoshiharu. Please call me Yoshi. Yoshi means "good" in Japanese! I'm a good man (^^);;;. I was born in Kyoto but I lived there 3 months. Then my family moved to Osaka and I grew up in Osaka. So I am almost Osakan. When I was young, my hobby was traveling by bicycle. I went cycling around most part of Japan except Shikoku. In my family rule, Shikoku is in bad direction because my grand father died just after his Shikoku pilgrimage. So I want to have a cycling tour not only in Kyoto (coming soon!) but also all part of Japan someday. I am interested in Japanese history. I am a National Certificated Guide. And I have "Kyoto Tourism Culture Certification 3rd grade", "Osaka Expert Certification 3rd grade", "Nara Concierge 2nd grade" and "Karuizawa Web test 3rd grade". So I have expert knowledge about Kyoto, Osaka, Nara and Karuizawa and common knowledge about Kobe. Besides I like gadgets, so I can guide you DenDen town in Osaka. When you have a chance to visit Kyoto or Osaka or other city in this area, please contact me anytime and join my tour! I'll be looking forward to seeing you, spending wonderful time with you.
Nao O.
Hello! I'm Nao. I was born and raised in Himeji, which is famous for the Himeji Castle (egret castle). I'm guiding in Kyoto, Osaka, Nara and Hyogo (especially Kobe and Himeji). I'd been in the US for three years attending a university. During the stay I went to the Yellow Stone twice, and visited California. I took a summer French class for a month in Canada, so I speak French a little. I love travelling. I went to many places in Japan. I visited Hokkaido, Okinawa, Hiroshima, Kanazawa, Nikko, Mt. Fuji and so on. I love music ― pops, rock, gospel and classical music. I'm a fan of Beethoven. Some day I'd like to go to Vienna and visit his houses and the forest, where he composed "the Pastoral Symphony". There are lots of attractions in Japan. You can visit shrines, temples, deer park etc. You can enjoy USJ, river cruise, anime museum, Japanese sake, Onsen and of course delicious Japanese dishes. Let's have fun together !

Natsuko I.
Hello! My name is Natsuko. Thank you for visiting my page. I used to work for a trading company, which gave me the opportunity to use English with overseas business partners. After leaving the company, I became an English teacher for children and I discovered that I really enjoy spending time with kids. I also had the experience of being a host family for international students, and it was so fulfilling to show them around various tourist spots and see them happy. I hope you can have a wonderful experience in Japan too! Would you like to join one of my fun tours? I look forward to seeing you again!

“Himeji Castle and Koko-en Japanese Garden walking tour”
From the start, Nao was responsive to all my queries about the tour especially how to travel to Hemeji from my Osaka hotel. She was also crystal clear about our meet up point! Hemeji Castle was spectacular especially during a warm, dry day with Sakura in bloom. From meeting up at the train station, Nao was informative about Hemeji and Hemeji Castle past and present. I spent a most enjoyable time! Much appreciated Nao!
Nao O.
Thank you very much for your kind messages. We had a nice weather thanks to you, sunny girl. We were able to see the castle in full-bloomed cherry blossoms, which was great. Visit Himeji in fall next time. You can enjoy the view of the castle and the garden in red & yellow maple trees. Thank you again, and have a good flight home. Nao

“Naoki Great Guide”
Thanks to Noaoki my family had so much fun in Kobe. He is knowledgeable, caring and funny. I’m so happy I found him.
Naoki H.
Dear Simone, Thank you so much for spending your precious family time together. I am glad to hear that you all enjoyed the tour in Kobe and Arima. You are all kind and wonderful people and I really enjoyed guiding you around. Please enjoy the rest of your stay. And if anything I can do to help as a friend please let me know! Best Regards Naoki

“Non-informativde tour”
We planned a few hours stop in Himeji to visit the castle and the old town. Kazu met us at the train station as agreed and helped us with the logistics of storing our luggage, then led us to the castle. From then on, nothing much really happened. He has very little or almost nothing to say about the castle or its history, and just walked us around. What could have been an interesting tour ended up quite boring for the group, which quickly dispersed. The walk in the old part of town later was not much better, with nothing at all to say about it. Overall, a disapporing expensience. :(
Kazumasa M.
Dear Ziad, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your honest feedback. I sincerely apologize for any aspect of the tour that fell short of your expectations. Your input is incredibly valuable, and I am committed to learning from it to ensure a better experience for future guests. I hope you’ll consider joining me on another tour in the future, where I can provide a more enjoyable experience. Thank you again for your candid comments and for allowing me the opportunity to grow from them. Warm regards, Kazu
