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.

Please feel free to contact me!!

“Excellent day in Himeji”

We had an excellent tour with Kazu. I highly recommend him. He had great communication to create a custom tour for us. He arrived early at our hotel lobby. He spoke excellent English and was very kind. He was very informative about the many sights we visited and came prepared with printouts and pictures. He took photos of our family. He took us to the castle, garden and museum. He took us to a special request to see a Sake Brewery. He reserved Shinkansen tickets. He helped us with ordering lunch. He was very knowledgeable getting around the trains and buses. It made our day a breeze. We really enjoyed our day and Kazu made it very special. Thank you.

“A great guide and a very nice man”

I have just returned from Japan. I had a great day in Kyoto with Kaz. He was punctual and provided me with a great day of not just sightseeing, but also the historical depth that I had requested. He was so knowledgeable and was able to really explain his knowledge with depth and clarity. To make things even better he was extremely organized and prepared. It was a great day and I feel as if I have made a friend. I plan on returning as soon as I can and would use him in Kyoto without question. Stephen Kahn
