Hello,I am HIROSHI YOKOYAMA. Please call me Hiro, not "hero". I have been lived in kyoto
for more than 30years. So, I am very familiar with the city of Kyoto and a unique culture
developed in Japan as well. I can offer you not only historic places like Nijo castle, Kinkakuji temple ,Kiyomizu temple etc., but also off the beaten track spots Nijo jinya house or nicknamed
"ninjya house" ,Katsura Imperial Villa etc.. I am really looking forward to seeing you .

“Great introduction to Kyoto”
As an experienced guide and an ex-middle school teacher, Hiroshi shared lots about the history of Kyoto, Japan in general, as well as the four excellent locations we visited. Just what we hoped for. The first three world heritage sites were outstanding examples and key moments in Japan’s history, as well as very beautiful. I shan’t spoil what’s extraordinary about the fourth site, but I’m so pleased we went there. Remarkable. Thank you so much Hiroshi.

Dear Maya I am grateful to you for your great reviews on May/24 tour in Kyoto. According to your request for visiting off the beaten track sites such as the Treasure museum in Kitano-Tenman-gu shrine and the tiny but lovely Tenjyu-an temple in Nanzen ji temple complex area, all of you seemed to have a great time in the full day tour. I say thank you for your cooperation during the tour. Best regards Jun/10 Hiroshi Yokoyama
