About Tour Guide Hideo Y.

Hello, I'm HIDEo YOSHIda. Please call me HIDEYOSHI, the same name as the famous shogun who built the Osaka Castle in 1585.

I was born in Kobe and worked in Osaka for nearly 40 years. I would like to introduce the Kansai region to you ,including Kobe, Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, and Wakayama.

Kobe is one of the two largest ports in Japan, along with Yokohama. After the opening of the Port of Kobe in 1868, foreigners built their residences on the hillside of the Kitano-cho area, overlooking the ocean. Many of the foreign residences are now open to the public as museums, including the Weathercock House, with it's symbol weathercock on the triangle-shaped roof.

In Meriken Park, the red Port Tower (the city's landmark), creates a beautiful contrast against the white Kobe Marine Museum. The museum's design was inspired by the waves and sailing ships.

When you have a chance to visit Osaka, please join my tour. I'm sure you'll enjoy the interesting and historical, scenic spots. For example, Shin-Sekai is a downtown area with a strange mix of nostalgic atmosphere and contemporary energy. You can try local foods (kushikatsu, sushi, tempura) at a reasonable price. Billiken (a famous statue of the spirit of luck) will be waiting for you!!. Dotombori is a popular street with a lot of flashy signboards. Osaka is widely known as a "Kuidaore-no-machi", or literally "drinking and eating luxuriously to death." Osaka Castle was built by Toyotomi HIDEYOSHI in 1585. Oh, it's my residence, isn't it !

These days "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter" area in USJ, or Universal Studios Japan, is also attracting more and more people.

I'll be looking forward to seeing you !!

“ Wonderful tour of Kobe and Tokushima”

Hide-san met our group of 5 at Kobe and Tokushima port and we spent 2 days with him. He had an itinerary for our 2 days and was very organized and efficient with our time. At Kobe, we visited the Nunobiki Herb Garden, Motomachi shopping street and had a delicious private Kobe lunch. After lunch, we spent the afternoon at the Hakutsuru Sake Brewery, toured the museum, tried delicious sake and purchased some gifts. At Tokushima, we started our day at the Naruto whirlpool via boat and Hide-san made sure we arrived early to catch the first boat and we beat the crowd that arrived just as we were disembarking. We went to the Awaodori Museum to see enjoy the dancing and took the ropeway up to Mt Bizan to enjoy the scenery and beautiful flowers and plants. Hide-san even gave us some tips for the next port. I recommend him for your visit in Japan.

Hideo Y.

I'm very happy to receive your excellent review. We enjoyed Nunobiki Herb Garden to see beautiful flowers, Kobe beef for lunch and sake tasting in Kobe. In Tokushima we were excited to see Naruto whirlpool, one of the three major whirlpools in the world. And we enjoy to see Awaodori dance, city landscape from the top of Bizan mountain in Tokushima. I wish you and all your family good health and happiness. I hope to see you again.

I'm very happy to receive your excellent review. In Kobe we had Kobe beef. In Kyoto we visited Fushimi Inari Taisha, Philosopher's path and Nishiki Food market using private taxi in Kyoto. We also took Shinkansen from Kobe, and we had very comfortable travel. Thank you for joining my tour. I wish you and your family all the best.
