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.

Reviews

Valuable Guide in Kyoto

Kazuhiko is a very kind man who was a valuable guide in Kyoto. Since we arrived via cruise ship, we were relieved that he could meet us at the Osaka cruise port, and then brought us to Kyoto by train. He had a lot of printed material at the sites explaining what we were seeing. His English comprehension and written English were very, very good. And although he speaks with a Japanese accent, we were able to understand him. Communication was excellent before our tour, with quick responses to our questions and requests, and he tried his best to accommodate them all in the tour. Alas, we were a bit too ambitious in our goals, and Kyoto was insanely crowded, which made it too difficult. Not to mention the many steps at the shrines and temples, which a few in our party had a problem with after a while. The only problem we encountered is that we were a party of four, which made 5 with Kazuhiko-san. To make the most of our time, we agreed to take taxis from one stop to the other. Almost all taxis could only take 4 passengers, so it meant either waiting a long time for an Uber Taxi that could handle 5 passengers, or having to take 2 taxis. So we had to either sacrifice money or time. In our time in Japan, Kyoto was definitely the most expensive place (by far) in terms of taxis, drinks, food, etc. But it was still a great day immersing ourselves in the culture of the city.

Thank you for the great review. I apologize for making you walk so much; I imagine the slope were quite challenging. I'm also sorry for not providing enough time for lunch. Regarding the taxi situation, it took longer to arrange a large taxi due to the student school trip season. I had a wonderful time, and I hope this tour becomes a cherished memory of your time in Japan. Thank you!!

Very prepared and well organized

There are 8 of us for an 8 hour tour of Nara and Osaka. Kazuhiko met us at the Tempozan Osaka cruise terminal and we all enjoyed our guided tour with Kazuhiko. He was very well informed and knew his way thru the tricky railway and bus systems. Nara was beautiful, Toudaiji temple was breathtaking and Kasuga shrine was magical and of course Osaka Dotombori district was a nice way to end the day. A definite 5 out of 5 and we will definitely calm upon Kazuhiko on our next trip to Osaka again.

Hello, Thank you for the nice review. I apologize for making you walk so much. Did you get over the fatigue? I went to Nara today again on another tour and it reminded me of my tour with your group. I also enjoyed the tour with your group. I hope your tour will be a memorable one. And, I hope you will come back to Japan again soon. Thank 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.
