About Tour Guide Hiroyuki H.
I'm Hiroyuki.
I was born in Osaka, central city in western Japan, and when I was college student, lived in Kyoto, previous capital of Japan, and now live in Tokyo, current capital.
I have worked for a global company for about 30 years. Working with international members gave me the opportunity to communicate with people with different cultures, and sometimes the opportunity to guide the spots of interest to them.
I found it interesting to show Japanese interesting spots to the guests, such as the wonderful things, strange things, mysterious things, marvelous things.
For the past few years, I tried to improve ability to communicate with people from abroad. Recently, Japanese history intrigued me.
I’m really into finding historical places, local favorites, and unique systems in Japan.
In the tour pages, I am introducing tours in Tokyo and tours in Kyoto and Osaka. I include the orthodox sightseeing places. However, you could also specify some unique local places. Information about local spots and local foods such as Ramen, Udon would be interesting to you. Please contact me and let’s talk about your itinerary specially made to order.
I’m looking forward to hearing from you and to seeing you in Japan.

“Hiroyuki san”
Hiroyuki san was very interesting as a guide for our group, we did like him so much!

The customers were female middle and high school students and teachers from Qatar. Moving around on foot with a group of over 30 people was quite challenging. Especially during the walking tour around the bamboo grove in Arashiyama, the narrow sidewalks caused long lines, making it difficult to coordinate movements. Thanks to the cooperation of the teachers and accompanying staff, we were able to take group photos safely and return to the bus on time. Additionally, during the bus ride, we engaged in conversations about Kyoto's history and Japanese greetings, with the teachers participating as well. I hope this was a memorable trip for everyone.

“Amazing Kyoto experience”
We had a one day tour around Kyoto with Mr. Hiroyuki. We are a family of 7 and he was very accomodating with our paces considering the varied age groups. He shared so much of knowledge regarding all the attractions. And he made travelling around Kyoto very easy. We had a great time with him.

I am delighted that you enjoyed your one-day tour of Kyoto. I imagine you had a busy time taking care of your family member who had sore feet, sending her back to the hotel in the middle of the tour, and then rejoining the tour. Even so, we were able to visit as many places as possible thanks to everyone's cooperation. I hope you all returned safely with many wonderful memories. Hiroyuki
