About Tour Guide Kiyoko H.

Hello, my name is Kiyoko.

I am an English guide of Kumano Kodo.

I live in Kushimoto, which is the most southern tip of Honshu (main island).

I got my regional guide license in 2016. Since then, I have been practicing guiding Kumano Kodo in English.

You will learn about ancient pilgrimage, shrines, temples, asceticism. You will be impressed by beautiful nature. You will also feel rejuvenated after walking Kumano Kodo.

I want to share my experience with you.

“A wonderful Kumano Kodo experience”

We had a great experience on our guided tour with Kiyoko-san. She was friendly, spoke clear English, and explained things in an easy-to-understand way. She was thoughtful and supportive, especially during the more difficult parts of the trail. Kiyoko also helped us out both before and during the hike, which we really appreciated. We’d definitely recommend hiking with Kiyoko-san.

Kiyoko H.

Itay san, Thank you very much for choosing my tour and your feedback!! I appreciate it very much. I was sorry the climb was a little bit tough for your mother. I hope both you and your mother could relax with onsen hot spring at the hotel. Please enjoy walking Kumano Kodo for a few more days. Thank you!!

“Wonderful Walking Tour with Kiyoko”

I had a great time walking with Kiyoko. The weather was perfect, the scenery spectacular and accompanied by a kind and knowledgeable guide. Kiyoko was very well prepared, friendly and interesting. I had wanted to visit this area for a long time and Kiyoko could provide history, context and make it meaningful, beyond just what I was seeing with my eyes. I would highly recommend anyone wanting to visit Kumano, Nachi Falls etc, to consider spending some of your time with Kiyoko. There is no substitute for a local guide. Thank you Kiyoko!

Kiyoko H.

Simon, thank you very much for your great feedback. I appreciate your warm comment. It was my pleasure that I could be your guide today. You have been dreaming of visiting Nachi waterfall for a long time. It was a great honor for me that I could walk with you when your dream came true. I wish you would have great experiences during the rest of your stay in Japan. Please come back someday!

“Sight seeing and hiking ”

We are so grateful to have met and spent time with Kiyoko who was a terrific guide. As we traveled and achieved all our goals in our 3 day stay in Wakayama. Her knowledge was great and assistance with our 2 year olds needs was super helpful.

Kiyoko H.

Bailey, thank you very much for your kind comment! I am very happy to hear that. It was my great pleasure to have guided you here. I guess you had a great time in Tokyo and Nagano. Thank you again.
