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.

“Magnificent 2 Days in Osaka with the Wonderful Kaori ”
We had the most amazing two-day sightseeing tour in Osaka, and it was all thanks to our incredible guide, Kaori! From the very first moment, her kindness, helpful nature, and ever-present smile made us feel like we were exploring the city with a dear friend rather than just a guide! Kaori not only navigated us through Osaka’s iconic spots with ease—think Osaka Castle, Dotonbori, and the hidden corners of Kuromon Market—but also added so much heart to the experience. She was always ready with great tips, historical insights, and even recommendations for local bites that turned out to be absolute gems. What stood out most was her genuine warmth. Whether we were admiring panoramic views from Umeda Sky Building or navigating our way through the retro district of Shinsekai, Kaori brought such an infectious energy that every moment felt special. Her attention to detail and her care made the trip seamless and deeply memorable. If you’re looking for a guide who is not only knowledgeable but also brings joy and connection to every step of your journey, Kaori is the one. We left Osaka not just with unforgettable memories, but also with a friend in our hearts. ️ Thank you Kaori for an amazing and memorable experience Troy & Z!!

“Outstanding Private Guide Experience with Kaori”
We had the immense pleasure of spending three unforgettable days with Kaori as our private guide during our trip to Japan, and we can say without a doubt: she made our journey truly extraordinary. Kaori guided us through Osaka, Kyoto, and Nara with incredible knowledge, passion, and warmth. Thanks to her, we discovered places, stories, and local insights that we would have never found on our own. She didn’t just show us the sights — she brought them to life. Kaori opened doors to the rich history and deep culture of Japan in a way that was both personal and unforgettable. She shared not only historical context and cultural background, but also helped us understand modern Japanese life and people — something that made the experience even more meaningful. Her English is excellent, her organization flawless, and her enthusiasm absolutely contagious. If you’re considering a private guide in Japan, look no further. Kaori is simply exceptional. We are deeply grateful for the time we spent with her, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who wants more than just a sightseeing tour — a true experience. Thank you, Kaori, for everything!
