“Amazing Kyoto tour with Hiroki! ”
My husband and I had an absolutely wonderful experience taking a guided tour with Hiroki in January 2024, and it was one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. Hiroki is an incredibly kind, diligent and hospitable guide. His meticulous planning and dedication to the highest standards ensured that every aspect of our tour was seamless and memorable. Hiroki curated a thoughtful itinerary and we were amazed at how much we were able to experience in just one day. His deep knowledge and engaging explanations brought Kyoto’s history and cultural significance to life, giving us a deeper appreciation for everything we saw. What truly sets Hiroki apart is his genuine care for his guests and his ability to tailor the tour to create an unforgettable experience. Thanks to his expertise and attention to detail, we not only explored incredible locations but also gained meaningful insights that enriched the rest of our time in Japan. We are so grateful for Hiroki’s guidance and generosity, and we wholeheartedly recommend his tour to anyone visiting Kyoto or Osaka. Thank you, Hiroki, for making our trip so special—you’ve given us memories to treasure forever!

“Great time with Hiro”
Soo much to see with limited time in Osaka. We booked Hiro for 2 days and it was worth it. Hiro was knowledgeable and very accommodating, he would even adjust our schedule on the fly as our kids enjoyed some of the attractions (such as Osaka Castle, aquarium). We also requested Hiro to make a booking for car service and he made the arrangements for us so it was very seamless. Would highly recommend Hiro and we will definitely be back in Osaka.

Thank you for the compliment, Elmer. It was a very precious time to spend time with your family. Your kids are wonderful and you two are a nice couple. I welcome you to Osaka anytime. I hope to see you soon. Have a nice holiday. Hiroki

“Hiroki is an excellent guide!”
The assistance that our family needed during our Osaka vacation was, perhaps, a bit unusual. We were attending a concert at the Osaka Dome, and wanted to be certain that our travel from hotel to and from the concert venue would go smoothly in the midst of a crowd of 55,000+ concert attendees. It turned out that we didn't receive our concert tickets from the vendor in the timeframe we expected, so Hiroki helped us to sort that situation out -- he really saved the day for us, because without his assistance with our tickets we would not have been able to attend the concert! Thank you, Hiroki, you are an excellent guide!
Hiroki D.
Dear Donna, Thank you thoughtful messages. It was my first time to help attend a concert tour. Honestly, I was anxious about getting a ticket to you before the concert started. I was so excited when getting a ticket from the vendor. After the tour, you were very content with the tour, I was pleased to help with your tour. Thank you, Hiroki
