About Tour Guide Kaori K.
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.
I’m looking forward to see you soon.
LOVE
Kaori

“A wonderful day in Osaka”
Kaori was a delightful guide & gave us a great beginner’s tour of Osaka! She had great recommendations for food, sights to see, & a good sense of humor/personality. I would absolutely book another tour with her.

“Superb 2 half day tours in Kyoto with Kaori”
Kaori showed my mum and I some amazing spots in Kyoto. She was very informative and tailored the pace of the tour to accommodate my Mums much slower pace and restricted mobility. Kaori was superb and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

“Eine gute Empfehlung: Kyoto mit Kaori ”
Unsere Tour mit Kaori war ein tolles Erlebnis und gab uns einen guten ersten Überblick für die oft sehr weit auseinander liegenden Sehenswürdigkeiten. Unsere Reiseleiterin Kaori führte uns mit Taxi, Bus und Bahn durch die Stadt und gab un viele hilfreiche Informationen und konnte all unsere Fragen beantworten. Außerdem sprach sie gut Englisch, was uns sehr wichtig war. Kaori gab uns führte uns auf Spaziergängen durch etwas ruhigere Gegenden und an den größten Touristenmassen zum Beispiel Bamboo Groove vorbei. Sie empfahl uns außerdem die schönsten Sehenswürdigkeiten und gab uns Tipps, für unsere nächsten Tage in Eigenregie in Kyoto. Kaori ist sehr interessiert an unserem Leben in Europa und wir führten angeregte Gespräche über die Gegensätze von Japan und Europa. Kaori ist aber vor allem sehr sympathisch und es macht Spaß einen Tag mit ihr zu verbringen. Wir empfehlen Kaori und danken ihr.
