About Tour Guide Yoshihisa T.

Hi. My name is Yoshihisa. Call me "Yoshie", please. It means good or O.K. in Japanese. I live in Joyo City, Kyoto Prefecture, located just in between Kyoto and Nara. I was born and raised in Iga, Mie Prefecture. Iga is a birthplace of ninja and a renowned haiku poet, Matsuo Basho. I might be a descendant of ninja. I aim at becoming a linguistic ninja, following a part of Basho's lifestyle with the incorporation of seasonal changes into my tours. In addition to visiting famous temples and shrines, I invite you to lesser-known places of historic interest.

Once in a month I go hiking or mountain climbing with some friends mainly in mountains surrounding Kyoto and Nara basins. Recently I have got intrigued by the charms of Buddhist statues, which are manifestations of people's wishes and prayers. I also like izakaya (Japanese-style taverns) hopping, tasting delicious dishes and locally brewed sake at reasonable prices. Especially I like communicating with people from home and abroad, talking face to face. Some of the above-mentioned elements are included in my walking tours. I hope you will discover new aspects of cultural and natural beauty in Kansai area through one of my tours which you could never gain otherwise.

One of my favorite phrases that come from Zen Buddhism is Ichigo Ichie or this meeting-but only once in a lifetime. My interpretation goes this way: This place and this moment never cross again. Each and every good encounter, however, lingers on like the sound of a temple bell. Won't you explore a deeper world of Japanese culture in Kyoto, Nara and Osaka with me?

Fantastic Guide!!!

We had an absolutely wonderful day with Yoshie! He gave us a great lesson in history, he had our itinerary planned to perfection with a great lunch stop and over the top dinner suggestion. Yoshie knew all the hidden gems and our entire family loved him!!! Highly recommend!

Hi Lori. I really appreciate your nice review for my tour today. It was a great time guiding and talking with your family. I am also pleased to learn that you enjoyed the lunch and dinner a lot. I hope you will continue a pleasant trip and return home safely with lots of good memories of Japan. Ichigo Ichie. With best wishes. Yoshie

Excellent tour

We highly recommend Yoshi as your guide for the Golden Temple tour. We visited 4 temples, took trains, the subway and a taxi to the sites. Yoshi directed us back to our subway station near Gion from Arashimaya station. Had Japanese Ramen for lunch close by one Temple. Yoshi was very knowledgeable with the ancient and current history for each site. He was flexible and customized our tour. His English was excellent too.

Hi Judy. Thank you so much for your nice comment on my tour in Kyoto. I am pleased that you liked the art museum near Jojakko-ji Temple in Arashiyama. I hope you will return home with lots of good memories of Japan and come back to Kyoto again during the autumn foliage season. Best wishes. Yoshie

Amazing tour and incredible tour guide!

I had the pleasure of spending two days touring with Yoshie and I could not have asked for a better experience while visiting Kyoto! Yoshie was extremely knowledgeable of all of the locations we visited, organized, and incredibly efficient with his planned tour. But, I think what impressed me most of all about Yoshie was how perceptive he was to my interests. He quickly identified that I enjoyed visiting the gardens of many of locations we visited and he altered the tour in real time to include more gardens. Yoshie and I also visited a couple of his favorite izakaya's. The food, drinks, and the friendly company are no doubt the highlights of my entire Japan trip. Thank you Yoshie for making my time in Kyoto so memorable! Best Regards Aaron

Hi Aaron, I really appreciate your excellent review for my two-day tour in Kyoto. I am very pleased to learn that you enjoyed every minute of the tours, My Favorite Golden / Silver Routes. I am also happy that you liked the food, drinks and atmosphere of the izakayas. I hope our paths will cross again in the near future. With best wishes. Yoshie
