Kon-ni-chi-wa. Hello! I'm Kaori, having lived in Tokyo for more than 20 years since I got married with a photographer who lives here. I'm originally from Shizuoka prefecture which has Mt.Fuji, the highest mountain in Japan. I took 2 working-holiday-visa stays in my younger days. One is in Toronto, Canada, and another is Australia touring by motorcycle. One year respectively. I love travel both international and domestic, especially by motorcycle. That's why I love helping individual travelers rather than normal package tours, cause I myself love travel freely. I love nature, gardens, trekking, greenery, cycling and motorcycle. I love to take you to the off-the-beaten tracks where I love in Tokyo. As a national government licensed guide, I've got deep knowledge of Japanese culture and history. I really enjoy talking about Japanese way of life with people from different cultures. But I'm so flexible that I don't bother if you're not so interested in. We see what you like and talk what you are interested in. That's my style. If you don't know what to want, I can help you with that. I'm outgoing, ( but organized pretty well!), very easy to get along with anybody, including small kids to teenagers. Can't wait to see you soon!

Friendly drivers & enjoyable road trip

Booked 2 tours (Mount Fuji + Nikko) with 2 drivers. Prefer Mr Zhen (甄)as he's more jovial. Good explanation and shared with us his experience as a local Japanese. Will join his tour again.

An amazing tour with a great guide

We had a full day tour of Nikko with Hiroshi. He met us at our Tokyo hotel and helped us travel on the subway to our express train from Tokyo to Nikko. Nikko was an amazing place to visit and made more special by Hiroshi’s knowledge explaining all of the details of the places we were visiting. We plan to book another tour with Hiroshi on our next trip to Japan.

Michael D.

Thank you for your review of the tour to Nikko. I also had a great time with you. Nikko is a small town but the sacred place of Buddhism and Shinto. We could feel the atmosphere of both Buddhism and Shinto. Nikko is also famous for its beautiful nature, especially beautiful red and yellow leaves in autumn. I look forward to seeing you again in the beautiful season in Japan!

Great Tour with a caring Guide, Hiroshi!

Hiroshi was punctual, caring and knowledgeable about Nikko's shrines and temple. Hiroshi met us at our hotel, helped us navigate the train system and explained to us the history of Nikko during the Edo Period. We saw the "Sleeping Cat" and the "Three Monkeys" carvings. Excellent way to start our trip in Japan. Thank you Hiroshi!!

Suzanne W.

Thank you for the review. I am happy to hear you enjoyed the tour to Nikko even though it rained a bit. We saw the Yomeimon Gate with many beautiful carvings, climbed 207 steps up to the grave of Tokugawa Ieyasu, and heard the roar of the dragon at Toshogu Shrine! We also visited Shinkyo the sacred bridge, Rinnoji Temple, Taiyuin Mausoleum, Futarasan Shrine, etc. I hope that our trip to Nikko will become a good memory of your trip to Japan! Thank you. Hiroshi
