About Tour Guide Naoki H.
Hi! My name is Naoki,
I was born and bred in Osaka. I have a reliable and friendly personality and always enjoy making people smile.
I am a full time Experienced Tour Guide organizing and managing tours, not just in Osaka but all over the Kansai-area including Kyoto, Nara, Kobe and Hiroshima.
I have experience in directly managing groups of over 500 travelers so far and also designing specific itineraries for different needs and sights. If you have any specific sights that you would like to see then please let me know and I will accommodate as many sites as possible into any tour.
Outside of my tour guiding, I have had a career over 15 years in Japanese car logistics taking care of lots of international businesses which allows me to have a professional manner in face to face communication.
Osaka is a brilliant city with long history, amazing street food, unique accent (so we have lots of comedians here!) and also known as the most friendly city in Japan. I would love to be the perfect companion for your visit to one of the best cities in Japan! I look forward to seeing you soon!
Best Regards
Naoki

“The best introduction to Osaka”
Naoki’s tour was the perfect start to our family holiday in Japan. Naoki’s itinerary was a great balance of historical sites, contemporary culture and practical tips for navigating our way around Osaka. Naoki has a very calm manner and he is very knowledgeable. Naoki ensured that he included areas that our teenage boys would enjoy, and the tour was a highlight of their trip.

在日本最美麗的城堡~姬路城,明石海峽大橋,神戶異人館
"姬路成"代表著日本木造建築的最高峰。從十四世紀初頭開始,花了將近300年的悠久時間, 終於公曆1609年建成五重七層的天守。後來,於公曆1617年擴建了西之丸。 1993年在日本首次受到世界文化遺產的榮譽。 "明石海峽大橋",全長3,911米,橋塔298.3米高,路面高度65米,是在世界最長的吊橋。 從1986年動工,於1998年完工,橫跨明石海峽,連接神戶與對岸的淡路島。 神戶北野地區"異人館"。主要建於明治時代（公曆0868年~）至大正時代（~公曆1925年前）, 主要由歐美人居住這裡的樓房,使我們感覺到"異國情調"。
