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
“Osaka Highlights”
The guide was friendly and courteous but lacked the details of the sites. Too expensive, not worth the money.

(49 reviews)Thank you for your evaluation. But I could not understand what you really want to do. And I should have ask it, but I confused what I should ask you and I should explain. Next time I will have effort to ask it and to explain what you are interested in. Yours sincerely, Yoshi
“Great day exploring Osaka ”
Yoshi did a great job showing us around Osaka, helping us get a dinner reservation at a Kobe steak restaurant. Highly recommended him to show you around Osaka.

(49 reviews)Dear Kristin Thank you for your evaluation. I enjoyed the tour too as I was interesting to know the place, "only women's floor of Siseido" in department store. Anyway, thank you for your evaluation. Yours sincerely, Yoshi
“Amazing day and tour”
We had an amazing day in Kyoto thanks to Yoshi who took us to some of the main attractions and sites around the city. As a first time visitor to Japan, I can’t even imagine trying to find our way around the city by ourselves but Yoshi was a very knowledgeable guide and expertly led us and answered all of our questions and more. Thank you Yoshi for making our first day in Kyoto one to always remember!
