About Tour Guide Yoshihisa T.

Hi. My name is Yoshihisa. Call me "Yoshie", please. It means good or O.K. in Japanese. I live in Joyo City, Kyoto Prefecture, located just in between Kyoto and Nara. I was born and raised in Iga, Mie Prefecture. Iga is a birthplace of ninja and a renowned haiku poet, Matsuo Basho. I might be a descendant of ninja. I aim at becoming a linguistic ninja, following a part of Basho's lifestyle with the incorporation of seasonal changes into my tours. In addition to visiting famous temples and shrines, I invite you to lesser-known places of historic interest.

Once in a month I go hiking or mountain climbing with some friends mainly in mountains surrounding Kyoto and Nara basins. Recently I have got intrigued by the charms of Buddhist statues, which are manifestations of people's wishes and prayers. I also like izakaya (Japanese-style taverns) hopping, tasting delicious dishes and locally brewed sake at reasonable prices. Especially I like communicating with people from home and abroad, talking face to face. Some of the above-mentioned elements are included in my walking tours. I hope you will discover new aspects of cultural and natural beauty in Kansai area through one of my tours which you could never gain otherwise.

One of my favorite phrases that come from Zen Buddhism is Ichigo Ichie or this meeting-but only once in a lifetime. My interpretation goes this way: This place and this moment never cross again. Each and every good encounter, however, lingers on like the sound of a temple bell. Won't you explore a deeper world of Japanese culture in Kyoto, Nara and Osaka with me?

Reviews

Nice overview of Osaka in a short time

Yoshi-San was very courteous and energetic. He showed us all the best tourist spots in Osaka in just a few hours. We started at JR Osaka station, visited Osaka Castle, Kuromon market, Dotonbari, Umeda Sky, shopping area, etc. Highly recommend him.

Hi Vikas. Thank you very much for your kind review for my tour in Osaka. I am afraid that I have walked rather fast and it might have been difficult for you two to catch up with me. I hope you will return home safely. I wish you the best of luck. Yoshie

Great experience! We had shared three days with Yoshie. He is amazing, explaines clearly, knows a lot of things and is in general a great company to have! - Bulgarian group

Hi Tatiana. Your daughter told me that she liked Jojako-ji Temple best on the Golden route. I am glad that your group members were friendly and very attentive to my talk. I am also pleased that you liked the two restaurants for lunch and dinner. Yoshie
