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?

Reviews

One of the best days of our trip

We spent 14 days in Japan and the day with Yoshi was a highlight. This was a full day customized to our interests. We walked A LOT and saw A LOT and learned A LOT. He is a good communicator about history and culture. He knows the best spots to take a picture.. He helped us in the subway stations to get around. We are world travelers I can confidently say he is among the best guides we have ever had.

Hi Glenn. Thank you so much for your nice review for my tour in Kyoto. I really had a great time guiding and talking with you and your family since you asked me proper questions at each place we visited. I hope you have returned home safely with lots of good memories of Japan. With best wishes. Yoshie

Best guide ever!

Meeting Yoshi is an experience in itself. His warmth, kindness, and deep knowledge make him truly unique. He’s the kind of person you’d happily spend hours chatting with over sake and sushi as the plates keep coming. Without a doubt, one of the highlights of our trip. If you have the chance, don’t think twice — Yoshi is the right person to guide you through Kyoto.

Hi Juan. I appreciate your heartwarming comment on my tour in Kyoto. I also had a very pleasant time guiding and talking with you two. I hope our paths will cross again in the near future. Wishing you the best of luck! Yoshie
