Koichi W.

Hi! I'm Koichi. I was born in Osaka, I studied in Kyoto when I was a university student. Now I live in Shiga next to Kyoto. I am a national government licensed tour guide. I have been guiding about 160 groups over the past twelve months. I usually guide my customers mainly in Kansai region including Kyoto, Nara, Osaka, Kobe and Shiga by public transportation systems. Well, I am curious about Japanese history, especially the history of Japan's ancient times since I was raised next to the world biggest mausoleum of the ancient Emperor called "Nintoku" in Sakai city Osaka which has just become one of the world cultural heritage sites. I dug out some ancient earthen ware vessels around there when I was a primary school student like the adventure archaeologist “Indiana Jones"　(It’s our secret!!). That was my hobby. Now, one of my hobbies is outdoor activities such as mountaineering, kayaking, skiing and others. So I would like to take you to some good places where you can enjoy Japanese unique nature. I love to guide foreign visitors from all over the world. I think it is my calling or heavenly given job. Let's go and enjoy together! I hope to see you soon.

Shuji O.

Hi, I am Shuji, a licensed tour guide living near Kansai International Airport. I taught world history in high schools for four decades. So, I can explain Japanese culture or history in an easier way tailored to you who have different cultural and historical backgrounds. I also practiced Kendo, Japanese fencing, for more than four decades, and now I enjoy growing vegetables and going fishing. Therefore, I can also share some Japanese culture and its nature. I have traveled to more than 25 countries and all over Japan. I’m also passionate about photography and know many photogenic places in Japan. If you prefer to go off the beaten track, I can take you to hidden gems, including some cozy restaurants. Of course, I also know how to enjoy the crowded, most popular tourist sites. I am here to make your trip stress-free. See you soon!

Nikki K.

I'm a Certified English Interpreter Guide accredited by Kyoto, Uji, and Otsu cities — top performer in Kyoto's official training program and selected for Japan’s elite government project for VIP luxury travel. Having lived in 7 countries for 30 years — including 9 years in the U.S. (California, New York, and Texas) — I bring a truly global perspective and deep cultural understanding to every tour. A descendant of Hijikata Toshizo, one of Japan’s legendary “last samurai,” I was raised with a strong appreciation for history and the bushido spirit. Before becoming a guide in Japan, I worked as a licensed NYC tour guide, British Airline flight attendant, medical interpreter, and TV reporter — all roles focused on connecting with people and sharing cultures. I love showing my guests not only Japan’s must-see landmarks but also hidden local gems off the beaten path. I mainly guide in Kyoto, Osaka, Nara, Uji, and Tokyo upon request. From fun street food adventures to refined cultural and luxury experiences, I design each private tour to match your interests and create unforgettable moments that last a lifetime. I look forward to welcoming you and sharing the true heart of Japan!

Issei Y.

Hello everyone! My name is Issei, and I was born and raised in Japan. During my university years, I had the opportunity to study abroad in Canada, where I spent a year living in Vancouver. The experience of studying and living in such a multicultural city was truly eye-opening—it gave me a deep appreciation for different perspectives and the joy of connecting with people from all around the world. The kindness and hospitality I received in Canada inspired me to become a guide who can offer the same warmth to visitors in Japan. As your guide, my goal is not only to show you beautiful sights, but also to create authentic experiences where you can feel Japan—its traditions, its modern life, and its hidden gems. Through my tours, I strive to go beyond ordinary sightseeing. Whether it’s exploring vibrant city streets, tasting local flavors, or experiencing unique cultural traditions, I want to make your journey in Japan truly special and unforgettable. I look forward to welcoming you and sharing the heart of Japan together.

Charley S.

Konnichiwa - - - Charley here. Originally, I grew up in Los Angeles and San Diego for the first quarter century of my life. In 2000, I moved to Aichi Prefecture, Japan. One of my main goals was to play music with Japanese musicians, particularly in the underground music scene, which I've been a part of throughout my life. Also, I wanted to enjoy and explore the beauty of living in a foreign country. I've been living here for 25 years, and can gladly say that I have been engaged thoroughly in both of those goals. Since the beginning of moving to Japan, I've always chosen to hang out and engage with Japanese people as opposed to other foreigners. I often find myself in izakaiyas and concert events where I am the only foreigner, but fortunately I am on good terms with the staff and other customers. So if you are looking to see the less touristy aspects of Japan, please feel free to get in touch with me and I would love to share what I have come to appreciate about Japan. Cheers !

“Hero was a great guide!!”

We worked with Hero for two days in Kyoto and were so happy! He is so knowledgeable about the area and also very interesting and fun. We really enjoyed our time with him. He also took a ton of photos of us and sent then to us. We had a time crunch catching a train to the airport and he was so helpful in getting us back to the train station and getting us exactly to our platform so we would make the train on time. We had a great tour with him!!!

Hero I.

Thank you very much for sharing the New Year with me. It was a great time with you all. I hope you like some of my pictures. I was happy that we could manage a tight schedule from ramen lunch in Nara to the bullet train in Kyoto. Thank you for following me. I hope you have a great time in South Korea, too. See you next time in either Japan or the U.S.A. Hugs!

Michiko is an excellent, knowledgeable, and friendly guide. We had a great tour of Nara. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Matt and Amber. Spending time in Nara with such a natural couple like you was truly a delightful experience for me. I especially enjoyed your story about Hawaiian cuisine wrapped in plant leaves and grilled—it shares similarities with persimmon leaf sushi. Merry Christmas, and have a wonderful New Year!

“Fantastic Tours with Koichi”

Koichi is the best! We had two custom day tours with Koichi as a group of 7, one of Kyoto and the other Nara and Osaka. He is very kind, funny and good with kids. He has a lot of historical knowledge of the famous sites, brought along printed materials to show us to help us understand the history and culture of the various locations. He was very well prepared!! Our kids under 10 enjoyed his company and were not afraid to ask him many questions. I felt like he went the extra mile to accommodate our requests and the many many toilet stops for the kids. I would not hesitate to recommend Koichi to all our friends and family visiting Kyoto or Osaka. 10 out of 10!

Koichi W.

Hi! Tim san, thank you for your wonderful review and comments. The two days spent with your family and your friend's family were truly enjoyable for me. I also appreciate your cooperation with the playful "mischief" meant to entertain your children. Please keep in touch! I look forward to the days you visit Japan and Kyoto again. Koichi
