About Tour Guide Hideo Y.
Hello, I'm HIDEo YOSHIda. Please call me HIDEYOSHI, the same name as the famous shogun who built the Osaka Castle in 1585.
I was born in Kobe and worked in Osaka for nearly 40 years. I would like to introduce the Kansai region to you ,including Kobe, Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, and Wakayama.
Kobe is one of the two largest ports in Japan, along with Yokohama. After the opening of the Port of Kobe in 1868, foreigners built their residences on the hillside of the Kitano-cho area, overlooking the ocean. Many of the foreign residences are now open to the public as museums, including the Weathercock House, with it's symbol weathercock on the triangle-shaped roof.
In Meriken Park, the red Port Tower (the city's landmark), creates a beautiful contrast against the white Kobe Marine Museum. The museum's design was inspired by the waves and sailing ships.
When you have a chance to visit Osaka, please join my tour. I'm sure you'll enjoy the interesting and historical, scenic spots. For example, Shin-Sekai is a downtown area with a strange mix of nostalgic atmosphere and contemporary energy. You can try local foods (kushikatsu, sushi, tempura) at a reasonable price. Billiken (a famous statue of the spirit of luck) will be waiting for you!!. Dotombori is a popular street with a lot of flashy signboards. Osaka is widely known as a "Kuidaore-no-machi", or literally "drinking and eating luxuriously to death." Osaka Castle was built by Toyotomi HIDEYOSHI in 1585. Oh, it's my residence, isn't it !
These days "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter" area in USJ, or Universal Studios Japan, is also attracting more and more people.
I'll be looking forward to seeing you !!

“A knowledgable and quietly passionate gentlemen”
Hirshima is a difficult place to visit, to grasp the magnitude of the suffering. Hideo helped us with his gentle, quiet but also passionate guidance.

(171 reviews)Thank you for joining my Hiroshima tour. I could explain the difference about the bomb and the number of the dead people between Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I could show you why the bomb was dropped in Hiroshima. I'm sure you enjoy Japan trip.

“Informative”
Our tour was very interesting. There was a lot of walking. Not a good tour if you are not in good physical condition.

(171 reviews)I was in good condition on the tour day. I have to appologize the tour time was a little tight and lastly you ran to catch the last shuttle bus to the port. Next time I'd like to have a relax tour. I hope you enjoy Japan trip.
“A very nice moment”
My husband and I made this tour with Hideo some days ago. Hideo is a very nice and gentle person and the tour was very well organised. Thanks Hideo for this experience
