About Tour Guide Tom K.
I’m a Japanese who live in Nara and deeply loves Nara Prefecture.
I spent a long time traveling abroad, broadening my knowledge, and working as a tour guide.
Then I returned to Nara in 2024.
I can provide two appealing types of tours:
1. A tour visiting traditional World Heritage sites such as Todai-ji, Kasuga Taisha Shrine, and Nara Park.
2. A short hiking experience or hands-on, interactive sightseeing tour.
(Both of types are posible to customizable.)
Based in Nara, I will provide you with an incredible time filled with local insights and experiences.
