Hello, I'm HIDEo YOSHIda. Please call me HIDEYOSHI, the same name as the famous shogun who built the Osaka Castle in 1585. I was born in Kobe and worked in Osaka for nearly 40 years. I would like to introduce the Kansai region to you ,including Kobe, Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, and Wakayama. Kobe is one of the two largest ports in Japan, along with Yokohama. After the opening of the Port of Kobe in 1868, foreigners built their residences on the hillside of the Kitano-cho area, overlooking the ocean. Many of the foreign residences are now open to the public as museums, including the Weathercock House, with it's symbol weathercock on the triangle-shaped roof. In Meriken Park, the red Port Tower (the city's landmark), creates a beautiful contrast against the white Kobe Marine Museum. The museum's design was inspired by the waves and sailing ships. When you have a chance to visit Osaka, please join my tour. I'm sure you'll enjoy the interesting and historical, scenic spots. For example, Shin-Sekai is a downtown area with a strange mix of nostalgic atmosphere and contemporary energy. You can try local foods (kushikatsu, sushi, tempura) at a reasonable price. Billiken (a famous statue of the spirit of luck) will be waiting for you!!. Dotombori is a popular street with a lot of flashy signboards. Osaka is widely known as a "Kuidaore-no-machi", or literally "drinking and eating luxuriously to death." Osaka Castle was built by Toyotomi HIDEYOSHI in 1585. Oh, it's my residence, isn't it ! These days "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter" area in USJ, or Universal Studios Japan, is also attracting more and more people. I'll be looking forward to seeing you !!

Otsuka Museum of Art and Naruto Whirlpools Sightseeing Boat Tour

The Otsuka Museum of Art offers scheduled guided tours, but they are conducted only in Japanese. I will guide you through the highlights in English.

“A phenomenal and charming driver ”
Mr Nomi was so impressive today. He took us up narrow steep winding roads to out of the way temples : Tairyu ji and Fujidera ji. We went 20 minutes over the allotted time and he refused the tip we offered.

“Wonderful tour of temples in Naruto/ Itano ”
The website was great in communication. The driver Mr. Nomi was right where they said he would be. The car was very comfortable and clean. Mr Nomi was very nice about minor changes to the itinerary that we requested in terrible Japanese. We are glad he will drive us again tomorrow

“Wonderful Two Days in Japan ”
We were a group of 12 "older-ish" adults arriving via cruise ship to Kochi on Mar 14 and Tokushima on Mar 15. Hideo was absolutely wonderful, charming, entertaining and just perfect for our group. He arranged a large coach pick-up from both cruise ship ports for each day, was there promptly each morning eagerly awaiting our arrival, and proceeded to show us highlights of both cities. He kept us on a pre-planned schedule without any "hurrying", and got us to all the sights with time to spare getting back to the ship on time. We would highly recommend Hideo for tours in Japan. Thank you Hideo, for coming down to Kochi and Tokushima and making our cruise ship port days perfect!
Hideo Y.
I'm very glad to receive your excellent review. In Kochi we visited Kochi castle, one of the 12 temples that were built during the Samurai period and still existed. We could enter the main tower. In Tokushima we could see the tremendous whirl pool, one of the three greatest ones in the world. I've never seen such the boiling whirlpool. I'm sure you impressed it. I wish you all the best for your good health and continued success. Thank you.
