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

Wonderful way to see Kyoto from Osaka Cruise Terminal

Kazu was an excellent guide from navigating thru busy train ride and reaching all the wonderful spots in Kyoto such as the Tori gates, Bamboo forest and The Golden Pavilion. It was rainy that day but we were able to see all of them because Kazu was very organized and good in checking our time frame . He is very punctual, respectful and knowledgeable about Japanese culture. I will give him 10 stars, he is flexible and accommodates our needs for time. He was able to pick us up early and return us to our cruise terminal on time so we wont be late for all aboard in ship. Thank you Kazu! - Don& Antoinette

Thanks for the nice review. It was my pleasure to be with you too. This time we had to change our route due to the delay of the train we were on. I am sorry for causing you worry. I hope this tour was a memorable one for you. Thank you very much!

Tour of Nara and Osaka

Kazu did an amazing job organizing a tour for our group. He met us in Kyoto and helped us navigate to Nara. We spent time with the deer and explored the temple with great explanations. He then got us to Osaka and spent time showing us highlights. It was a busy and amazing day! Kazu was kind and very accommodating as we had young kids with us. Highly recommend him as a guide.

Thank you for your wonderful review. I'm sorry I made your group walk a lot in the crowded streets. I had a fun day too. Thank you very much. However, it was a shame for the children that the Pokémon Center was closed. I hope this tour will be a memorable one for your group in Japan. Thank you !!
