About Tour Guide Yoshihisa T.

Hi. My name is Yoshihisa. Call me "Yoshie", please. It means good or O.K. in Japanese. I live in Joyo City, Kyoto Prefecture, located just in between Kyoto and Nara. I was born and raised in Iga, Mie Prefecture. Iga is a birthplace of ninja and a renowned haiku poet, Matsuo Basho. I might be a descendant of ninja. I aim at becoming a linguistic ninja, following a part of Basho's lifestyle with the incorporation of seasonal changes into my tours. In addition to visiting famous temples and shrines, I invite you to lesser-known places of historic interest.

Once in a month I go hiking or mountain climbing with some friends mainly in mountains surrounding Kyoto and Nara basins. Recently I have got intrigued by the charms of Buddhist statues, which are manifestations of people's wishes and prayers. I also like izakaya (Japanese-style taverns) hopping, tasting delicious dishes and locally brewed sake at reasonable prices. Especially I like communicating with people from home and abroad, talking face to face. Some of the above-mentioned elements are included in my walking tours. I hope you will discover new aspects of cultural and natural beauty in Kansai area through one of my tours which you could never gain otherwise.

One of my favorite phrases that come from Zen Buddhism is Ichigo Ichie or this meeting-but only once in a lifetime. My interpretation goes this way: This place and this moment never cross again. Each and every good encounter, however, lingers on like the sound of a temple bell. Won't you explore a deeper world of Japanese culture in Kyoto, Nara and Osaka with me?

Reviews

Kyoto and Nara

We are a family of three, two adults and one 10 year-old boy. We did a tour of Kyoto in a day and also did a half day tour of Nara with Yoshie. He is very knowledgeable, kind, and calm. The tour was a good pace. He picked a wonderful lunch restaurant that served the best Ramen. In the evening, he took us to an old friends Izakaya - it was such a treat to have an amazing local meal with a true local! We are so lucky to have had him as a tour guide during our first experience in Japan! Thank you, Yoshie!

Hi Priyanka. Thank you so much for your heartwarming comment on my tour in Kyoto and Nara. I really enjoyed guiding and talking with you three, too. I am also glad that you liked the ramen for lunch and the dishes at the izakaya a lot. I hope you will return home safely with lots of good memories of Japan. With best wishes. Yoshie

Wonderful Day on the Golden Route of Kyoto

We enjoyed a wonderful day with Yoshi on the Golden tour. He is a former teacher and that really shows through in the way he clearly and patiently explains the sights and history associated with them. But more than that, he is kind and has a great sense of humor that leaves you feeling that you have spent the day with a new friend. He was more than willing to adjust the itinerary to our needs, and arranged for a meal at an izakaya for us that was the highlight of the day! If we return to Kyoto we will most certainly be in touch. Highly recommend his tour
