Hello! My name is Kaori.
When I was young I was interested in tourism.
I was studying and working as tour conductor around Kanto area in Japan.
I lived abroad from my early 20s to mid 30s.
Australia, Taiwan, Central America, Great Britain, Spain and Italy.
Now I came back and live in Osaka where I was born.
The reason why I applied for the tour guide is because I was pleased when I guided my foreign friends around Japan.
Me personally love traveling a lot.
Especially trekking in the mountains and MTB trip by myself!

I’ve done Kumano Kodo pilgrimage, too.
I’ve travelled around Morocco, Greece and Italy by MTB :)
I love adventure!
I love to look up sightseeing informations and listen to the story of travelers!
In japan I also lived in several different prefectures such as Osaka, Nara, Wakayama, Tokyo, Kanagawa.

“Perfect day tour to Nara ”
We had an absolutely wonderful private tour to Nara from Osaka! Kaori was not only knowledgeable but also incredibly kind and attentive. From the moment we were picked up, everything was smooth and perfectly organized. She shared fascinating stories about Japan’s history and culture, and brought each site—like Todai-ji Temple and the Great Buddha—to life with insights. We also loved how she led us through the peaceful paths of Nara Park. What really stood out was her genuine passion and thoughtfulness—he noticed what interested us most and adjusted the pace accordingly, making the day feel relaxed yet full of highlights. It was the perfect mix of learning, nature, and fun. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide or a more memorable experience in Nara. Highly recommended for anyone visiting from Osaka!

“Excellent fun filled 10 hour day!”
Kaori is an excellent tour guide. Communication via emails prior to our tour was always quick and detailed. She planned our 10 hour day based on our requests and her expertise. We were able to see so many sights in Kyoto and still return to Kobe and have a delicious Kobe steak dinner before returning to the cruise.
Kaori K.

“Excellent ”
What a great day, we visited the famous Fushimi Inari Shrine, as well as the Imperial Palace and Golden Temple. Our guide was exceptional and took us to a local Sushi Bar for lunch which was wonderful. We also had time to see the Ryoanji Zen Temple. Our guide was first class, making it a really fun and enjoyable day. Looking forward to her guiding us through Osaka in a few days. Highly recommended
