About Tour Guide Kaori K.
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 El Camino De Santiago in Spain 4times!
Camino francés, Vía de la plata, Camino Norte, Camino de Madrid, Camino de San Salvador, Camino primitivo.
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.
I might be able to guide you not only popular touristic sites but also to local hidden sights!
Please focus things what you like and want!!
I promise to do my best to organize a tour that is consistent with your interests!
Thank you for paying attention for my self-introduction.

“Kaori’s resourcefulness helped rescue our trip”
We had reached out to Kaori to be our guide for 4 days across Kyoto and Osaka, little realizing at that time that her resourcefulness is what would help us to complete our Japan visit without missing a beat. When the morning after Day 1 my wife sprained her ankle, even before we stepped out of our hotel that morning, and I thought that this was the end of our visit, Kaori literally took charge! Always cheerful and confident, she sprang into action and with lightning speed arranged for a wheel chair, a cane to help my wife walk a little at the attractions, some medicines to help, hired a van (since we were 5 as a family) to travel point to point, and took us around to most of all the places we wanted to visit as if nothing had happened. For the next 3 days she was right by my side and on her own shared the responsibility to push the wheelchair almost half of the time, so I could be freer to explore the attractions more and take pictures. She even called up the airline’s Japan office and arranged for a wheelchair for my wife so that even at airports my wife could transit without any worries. Thank you, Kaori, for all your help beyond just being our guide. We simply could not have enjoyed Kyoto and Osaka without you!!
