Spring is a beautiful season especially to see cherry blossoms. Unfortunately this year you cannot visit Japan to see the beautiful scenery. But why not online ??
I'll take you to the best cherry blossom spots I recommend on the day.
There are 2 plans depending on weather and blooming condition.
1. Live tour (guide at site)
2. Virtual tour (guide from home)
Both are provided with beautiful scenery and the guidance about the place and Japanese culture by the experienced tourguide.
Asia/Tokyo (UTC +9hs)
The guide will show you beautiful sceneries with cherry blossoms in historical sites of Kyoto or Osaka such as temples, castle and town. The guide will explain about the places and Japanese culture. You can request the guide if you have any place you're interested in.
In case of Live tour, you will see the real time situation of Japan so that you will feel more reality of what's going on in Japan.
Also you may have a chance to talk to local people on line.
The place we can visit is 1 or 2 places, depending on where we go.
In case of virtual tour from home, as the guide don't have to move, you can enjoy more numbers of places with cherry blossoms by photos or films.
Also I love tea ceremony, I can show you how to make matcha in very simple style upon request.
Both types of the tours will be held with guidance about the places such as history, culture and people.
And any questions are welcome to learn about our country !!
As I travel all over Japan both for working and private, you can get a lot of tips not only about Kyoto and Osaka but anywhere and anything about Japan if you plan to visit Japan in the future, such as how to get around the country and where to visit.

Some shops and temples may not allowed to take video and photo inside and sometimes internet connection is not good. In that case, I'll show you the outside only.
I can not take a responsibility about any bad internet connections or issues that guide can not control during the tour.
If you can't find the date or time you would like to join, please send me a message.
Currently I take care of my 1 year old boy and can work basically between 9 am - 5 pm, and might respond a bit slowly.
Thank you for understanding the situation.
“Fantastic day with Tokie”
Tokie is a very professional tour guide. We booked a private historical and modern Osaka Tour. Tokie responded very quickly and flexible to our wishes. She speaks excellent english and it is a pleasure to talk with her. She gave us a very good impression of life in Osaka. We will come back to Japan, it was the best vacation ever.. Thank you Tokie
“Great experience ”
Tokie was a lovely guide with great knowledge of the sites and the best food stalls in the market. Even though there is less to do in Osaka, knowledge of the best spots for photography etc made her tour worth while.
“Understanding and appreciating Osaka and Japan”
Tokyo T. is a smiling thoughtful guide, who adapted throughout our day to our wishes while maintaining the initial plan. She was helpful in explaining many points that we questioned due to our lack of knowledge. The result was a better understanding of Osaka and Japan. Her English was very easy to understand.
