About Tour Guide Kazuhiko G.

Hello, I’m Kazuhiko. Please call me “Kazu”. I'm a national-licensed tour guide. I have a wife and 4 children.

I was born in Osaka city near Kyoto, although I have lived in many places across Japan. I used to work for multinational electric company and I traveled to many countries (U.S., Thailand, Hong Kong etc.) on business.

I have enjoyed guiding many foreign tourists in Kyoto, Nara, Osaka, Hiroshima, Tokyo, Mt. Fuji etc. for many years.

During your tour, you can discover a rich Japanese history spanning about 2,000 years, learn about and experience profound Japanese arts (tea ceremony, flower arrangement etc.), feel the spiritual atmosphere of Buddhist temples or Shinto shrines, see a breathtakingly beautiful scenery of Mt. Fuji, bamboo forest, Japanese gardens etc..

Moreover, you can taste Japanese cuisine that each season has to offer (Sushi, Tempura, Soba or ramen noodle etc.).

You can get close to nature and feed wild deer or monkeys or even a build snowman in winter.

I’m sure that I can provide a splendid tour of Japan that will be a lasting memory for you to treasure.

Experience the mysteries of Japan with 5 senses !!

Your memorable tour awaits you.

“Fantastic Day in Nara”

Kazu was a great guide. He took his time and showed us some really hidden sites in Nara. Of course we hit the main attractions, but he also took us to this small serene garden that was just so peaceful. I would highly recommend him for any tour.

Kazuhiko G.

Thank you for your wonderful review. I also had a great time. I'm sorry I made you walk so much. I hope this tour will be a memorable one for you. Thank you!!

“Beautiful Kyoto”

Goto-san is very organized and leading a group of 13 people is no easy task. He is flexible and knowing that we are tired from walking for the past few days, he is flexible to accomodate our last minute change in itinerary. He has come prepared with illustrations on the places of interests and explanations in English. He took the trouble to book the restaurant for us by going there himself to ensure the booking is confirmed. He is very familiar with the route and knows very well on what buses or trains to take to avoid the crowd during this Cherry blossom season.

Kazuhiko G.

Thank you for the wonderful review. I also had a great time. I'm sorry that I made you a walk a lot in the busy cherry blossom season. Have you recovered from your fatigue? I hope this tour will be a memorable tour for everyone. Thank you!!
