Kyoto Historical Explorer -Day Trip from Osaka
Joined 2022
Kyoto is unlike today's Osaka. Many traditional landscapes remain, and there are many places where you can see old Japan. Shrines and temples are famous, but how about a trip to experience Japanese culture and food?

“Himeji Castle and Kobe ”
We had a fantastic day tour with Hiroki. He took special care of my sister, who walks with a cane, and accommodated all our requests in customizing this tour for 2 senior women. We started out with a bullet train ride to Himeji Castle and gardens- what a beautiful castle. Then we had a fun afternoon in Kobe- visited the AtoA aquarium and the chocolate museum. Both these sites will also be very popular to see if you’re traveling with children. Hiroki planned this tour beautifully and we highly recommend it. We can’t wait to come back with the grandchildren.

“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
