About Tour Guide Hiroko D.
Hi, I'm Hiroko. I was born in Kyoto and currently live in its suburb. My parents are also from the ancient capital city, so some of its historic places were like my playgrounds when I was a child. Now, as a national certified tour guide, I would like to show you around not only Kyoto but also Osaka and Nara enjoyably and time-effectively. For your reference, I lived in New York, U.S.A. for about 20 years and worked there for about 17 and a half years, so I believe that I will be able to communicate and speak well with you in English. My motto as a guide: If you are happy, I'm happy. Please don't hesitate to ask me to customize your tour. I'm looking forward to seeing you soon!

“Great tour in Osaka with Hiroko.”
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed an exceptional 8-hour custom tour of Osaka. Our guide, Hiroko, was knowledgeable, possessed very good English communication skills, and consistently went above and beyond our expectations. Beyond guiding us to the city's key sightseeing locations, she thoughtfully introduced us to unique Osaka culinary experiences and even accompanied us to a restaurant of our choosing after the tour, ensuring we found our way without any trouble.

“Amazing Guide”
We spent two full days with Hiroko. The first day was spent in Kyoto. The second day was Arashiyama and Nara. Hiroko was exceptional. We had the best time touring beautiful places, learning about history and culture, and experiencing new things. We couldn’t have asked for better service. Hiroko, thank you very much.

Yo, I am truly honored by your kind and generous review. You and your friend are nice, intelligent and full of curiosity, and I really enjoyed your company as a guide here. I only wish deer crackers had not been sold out in Nara. Please send my warmest regards to Irene (I am sorry if I spell her name wrong) for me. All the best, Hiroko
