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!!

Kazu was so accommodating and thoughtful of our needs.

We have physical limitations and Kazu was so great about tailoring the tour to our needs. He was always checking in on us to make sure we were OK. He was so great about letting us take breaks when we needed. The sushi place he took us to for lunch was amazing worn great prices. Kazu's English was not as great as other tour guides we had. But he was very willing to learn and we enjoyed the conversations we had.

Thank you for your wonderful review and nice pictures. I think you must have been very tired after walking so much. Have you recovered from your fatigue? I also had a very enjoyable time. I hope this tour will be a memorable one for you. Thank you!!

Well paced and informative tour with Kazu!

We took a 6-hour tour around key spots in Kyoto with Kazu, and were amazed at how much we were able to see in that amount of time! Kazu tailors the experience to exactly what you want to see, and brings a wealth of information with him. He is a kind and helpful guide, and made our day around Kyoto a wonderful one.

Beautiful Tour in Kyoto with Kazuhiko!

So much to see in one day in Kyoto - we had a great time with Kazuhiko. He is very knowledgeable! We appreciate he was able to meet us at our hotel in Osaka to bring us to Kyoto. It was a long day but well worth it! We loved the Sushi restaurant he brought us too as well. Highly recommend Kazuhiko!

Marcey B.

Thank you for the nice review and photos. I’m glad you are enjoying your tour in Kyoto. The lunch at Kaitenzushi (Conveyor belt) Sushi Restaurant was also a good memory for you. Thank you very much!!
