Hyogo prefecture is about 150km long in north-south direction. There are many sight seeing spots, not only Kobe, Himeji but also Izush-Toyooka, Tanba-Sasayama Awaji island. So Hyogo government decleared "Hyogo Golden Route" as recommended tours. I would like to guide those areas where tourists do not know well. Each area is one day tour. You can have a different experience from Kyoto or Osaka.

About Tour Guide Yoshiharu K.

Hi! I'm Yoshiharu. Please call me Yoshi. Yoshi means "good" in Japanese! I'm a good man (^^);;;.

I was born in Kyoto but I lived there 3 months. Then my family moved to Osaka and I grew up in Osaka.

So I am almost Osakan.

When I was young, my hobby was traveling by bicycle. I went cycling around most part of Japan except Shikoku.

In my family rule, Shikoku is in bad direction because my grand father died just after his Shikoku pilgrimage.

So I want to have a cycling tour not only in Kyoto (coming soon!) but also all part of Japan someday.

I am interested in Japanese history.

I am a National Certificated Guide. And I have "Kyoto Tourism Culture Certification 3rd grade", "Osaka Expert Certification 3rd grade", "Nara Concierge 2nd grade" and "Karuizawa Web test 3rd grade".

So I have expert knowledge about Kyoto, Osaka, Nara and Karuizawa and common knowledge about Kobe.

Besides I like gadgets, so I can guide you DenDen town in Osaka.

When you have a chance to visit Kyoto or Osaka or other city in this area,

please contact me anytime and join my tour!

I'll be looking forward to seeing you, spending wonderful time with you.

Reviews

Highlights of Kyoto

Our Kyoto tour guide Yoshi was fantastic! Despite the rainy weather, he made the day memorable and enjoyable. He showed us all the key highlights of the city and even took us to a traditional Japanese pancake spot that was absolutely delicious. His knowledge and enthusiasm really brought the history and culture of Kyoto to life. Highly recommend! Thank you, Yoshi

Thomas F.

Yoshiharu K.

Dear Thomas Thank you for your evaluation. We were lucky we could enter the pancake restaurant by waiting for only 10 minutes(Usually 1 hour!). There are many places to visit in Kyoto. But we did not have enough time to see them. Please come to Kyoto and stay in Kyoto. Yours sincerely, Yoshi

Great tour and Yoshi went above and beyond!

Yoshi gave our family of 4 a wonderful tour of the Kyoto sites in addition to the history of the area. He met us at our hotel, clearly went over the itinerary and took us to all the sites we wanted to see. For lunch, he recommended a nice restaurant that we would not have gone to if on our own along with a local coffee shop that we really enjoyed. In addition, during the tour, I misplaced my purse while we were in transit. Yoshi went above and beyond by speaking to the workers at the last site we went to, stopping at the police box and calling the bus company. During our lunch, the bus company called Yoshi and told him it was on their bus. I am certain my belongings would have been lost if it were not for Yoshi. If we travel to the area again, we will be sure to schedule another tour with Yoshi. He is very knowledgeable about the area, is passionate and such a nice person. Thank you Yoshi and hope to see you again!!

Dear Leanne Thank you for your evaluation. Lost things of customer during the tour was the first time for me. I was desperate! But your daughter said you could drop the purse in the bus. So I called to the bus company. I also enjoyed the tour but we could not visit Gion. Next time, please come to Kyoto and visit Gion when the museum opens. Yours sincerely, Yoshi
