The amazing Nara

Hiroshi was a knowledgeable, gentle and friendly guide with an excellent sense of humor, he made our day in Nara truly enjoyable. Thank you Hiro for sharing your knowledge on Shintoism and Budism, for pointing out at many specific details on the Shrines and Temples, and also for teaching us how to feed the deers! If you are planning a trip to Kyoto or Nara, you can trust on Hiroshi's service as your local guide.

An interesting day in Kyoto

We had a very enjoyable day with Hiro, despite it being quite cold weather. Hiro knows the best spots and how to get to them quickly. He is very flexible, helpful, and easy to get on with.

Great knowledgeable guide!

Hiroshi was a great guide. We were able to see everything that we wanted. He was very polite and showed us great hidden spots. We enjoyed the time with him. He was asking us questions and even there was a prize from him for those with the most correct answers.
