About Tour Guide Hideo Y.

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 !!

Reviews

Home Run afternoon with HIDEYOSHI

All the pieces of booking, communications, professionalism, and punctuality were absolutely as needed. Hideo arrived on time and off we went to a Hanshin Tigers home game via the trains. The Afternoon with Hideo was almost perfect except the Tigers lost the game in the 9th inning nail bitter battle between pitcher and batter, 2 outs, 3-2 count multiple fowl balls and last swing needed to make a hit but struck out. WE left the game sad however Hideo got us through the mass exit of fan to the train and back home safely. A true gentleman and excellent guide!

We enjoyed Japanese Baseball game (Hanshin Tigers vs Chunichi Dragons). Hanshin Tigers won a Championship in Japan series 2 years ago. These days most tickets are sold out because the baseball is the top popular sport in Japan. The highlight of the game is that supporters send up their balloons to cheer the team in the bottom of the 7th inning. Unfortunately it is prohibited this year due to the pandemic, but next year I hope we see spectators flowing balloons. I wish you and all your family good health and happiness.

Thanks Hideo!! The Best!!

Hideo, you were the most wonderful guide for our trip to Nara! I would NOT have wanted to navigate the trains buses and subways without you! We would have never seen or learned as much as we did on our own! We really appreciate you going at the pace that suited all 4 of us - you are so kind, patient and generous with your time, attention and knowledge!!

I'm very happy to receive your excellent review. We took subway, train and bus between Kyoto and Nara. Cherry blossoms are almost in full bloom. We could enjoy taking pictures under the cherry trees. I wish you all the best for your good health and continued success. Thank you.
