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.

“2 Full Fun Filled Days in Kyoto”
We spent 2 full days with Kaori. She is great fun, very engaging and speaks good English. We thoroughly enjoyed our days with her, covering a lot of ground using taxis which we think is the best way to maximise your time as the underground system is not as widespread as in Osaka and Tokyo. This meant we were not rushing away from one place to get to the next and could enjoy a more leisurely lunch having great food and sake in the restaurants she chose for us. We also had time to take a detour in search of a particular gift for someone at home. Would highly recommend choosing Kaori to guide you in any of the areas she covers. You will have fun and learn a lot along the way.

“Best day ever!!”
My friends and I were in Kyoto for two short days. We booked Kaori for one day to show us as much as she could. What an amazing day, time and guide. Kaori brought the magic of Kyoto to life with her amazingly planned tour. She was attentive, informed and engaging. She spoke beautiful English and worked overtime to make sure we had the perfect experience. Easily my favorite day in Japan!!’

Hi Carol :) Thank you for your comment! You and your friends are such fun people to spend time together! Lots of fan and lots of laugh XD I wish you had lots of great memories in Japan! And hope to see you again! Kaori
“Wonderful Time!”
We had such a great time with Kaoru! We told her we didn’t want to go to super crowded sites and she listened. She took us to the Imperial Palace, shopping at a huge indoor market, a delicious ramen lunch and a Buddhist shrine that was unforgettable. We will always remember what a fun and knowledgeable guide Kaoru was!
