“Excellent guide,!!!”
If we could give 10 stars we would do that for HIRO. We had such a wonderful day in Nara with him and saw the most incredible sites. He was so enthusiastic and was so knowledgeable everywhere we went. We also stopped for a wonderful lunch and got to rest for a while and then continued our eight hour tour. Needless to say “HIGHLY RECOMMEND “

(111 reviews)Dear Noel, Thank you Noel for such encouraging words, it motivates me to work harder and improve better. I had a very good time with you and Diane talking about the history and culture of Japan. I was especially impressed with your question about the fund for the construction of the Great Buddha Hall. It was built by the people's power. I hope you will enjoy the rest of your stay in Japan and have a safe trip home. Best regards, Hiro

“Fabulous Two-Day Tour of Osaka & Kyoto”
We were introduced to Hiroyuki through another guide. He helped us to plan a custom tour of Osaka and Kyoto over a two day period. His planning was impeccable, down to each train we would be traveling and each train station we would be transitioning through. His in-depth knowledge of history of the region was interwoven with personal experiences. We are grateful to him for introducing us to this wonderful country. Highly recommended.

In fact I usually don't visit museums with the guest, however you gave me a good opportunity to visit Osaka Ukiyoe Museum etc., which was of help to my guide ability.
