About Tour Guide Kaori K.

Hello! My name is Kaori.


When I was young I was interested in tourism.

I was studying and working as tour conductor around Kanto area in Japan.


I lived abroad from my early 20s to mid 30s.

Australia, Taiwan, Central America, Great Britain, Spain and Italy.


Now I came back and live in Osaka where I was born.


The reason why I applied for the tour guide is because I was pleased when I guided my foreign friends around Japan.


Me personally love traveling a lot.

Especially trekking in the mountains and MTB trip by myself!


I’ve done El Camino De Santiago in Spain 4times!

Camino francés, Vía de la plata, Camino Norte, Camino de Madrid, Camino de San Salvador, Camino primitivo.

I’ve done Kumano Kodo pilgrimage, too.

I’ve travelled around Morocco, Greece and Italy by MTB :)


I love adventure!

I love to look up sightseeing informations and listen to the story of travelers!


In japan I also lived in several different prefectures such as Osaka, Nara, Wakayama, Tokyo, Kanagawa.

I might be able to guide you not only popular touristic sites but also to local hidden sights!


Please focus things what you like and want!!

I promise to do my best to organize a tour that is consistent with your interests!


Thank you for paying attention for my self-introduction.

I’m looking forward to see you soon.


LOVE

Oh, Osaka Tour - Oct 2024

I meant to write this review months ago, but I do have a vivid memory with Kaori as she demonstrated a well planned itinerary for 3 adults. She is well travelled who provides you the ultimate tour of Osaka, or where ever she takes you, she is well prepared to give you a fantastic experience. She is fun, energetic, and truly resourceful in our full day trip of Osaka...like a good friend who is showing her local neighborhood and sharing the treasures of Japan. Well deserved of a 5 star rating, as she customized our tour with our personal interests. Our most memorable is the Museum of Urban Living, as we immerse ourselves in the transition of lifestyles back in the Edo and Meiji era, as we were dressed in our kimono attire! She knows the best eateries with local food of ramen, baked goods, whale meat at the Kuromon Market, and showed us where to purchase Japanese Knives/cutlery at Sakai Ichimonji Mitushide to personalize your name in "kanji". thank you Kaori for an unforgettable experience...we will look you up the next time were are in Japan!!!!

Kyoto

Why not enjoy your holidays in Kyoto? You can certainly get in touch with many things Japanese that we are proud of. They are old temples and shrines, cultural assets and the beautiful natural surroundings. You can also enjoy dropping in at souvenir stores and buy exquisitely made products, such as folding fans, porcelain and traditional Japanese cakes. I would like to take you to the following places, which are the three representative tourist destinations in this city: (1) Arashiyama It is the place where all the traditional natural beauties of Japan are combined together. They are Togetsukyo bridge, bamboo grove and the old temples. If you go up to the observation spot, you can enjoy the magnificent view of the gorge below. You can also see rickshaws of the olden times drawn by young people with smiling passengers on board. There are souvenir shops selling variety of goods and products. (2) Nijo-jo Castle (World Cultural Heritage Site) This castle was built in the early 17th century by the Tokugawa Shogunate government for the purpose of protecting the Kyoto Imperial Palace and as the accommodations when Tokugawa Shogun was in Kyoto. It was subsequently enlarged by successive Shogun. It is the castle as well as the palace, where you can see the powerful structures and beautiful gardens. You can learn, in addition, how great the power of Tokugawa Shogun was. (3) Kinkakuji temple (the Golden Pavilion) (World Cultural Heritage Site) The history of this temple began when the third Shogun of the Muromachi period acquired a tract of land in this area from a powerful statesman in 1397 and built a villa of his own to entertain the Emperor and members of the nobility. The upper two levels of the temple are covered with pieces of gold foil and are shining brilliantly against the background of the rich greenery. The pond in the foreground reflects the golden structure. It looks like the materialization of Pure Land of Buddha in this world. In addition, on the top of the golden structure is the shining phoenix.
