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

“Excellent fun filled 10 hour day!”
Kaori is an excellent tour guide. Communication via emails prior to our tour was always quick and detailed. She planned our 10 hour day based on our requests and her expertise. We were able to see so many sights in Kyoto and still return to Kobe and have a delicious Kobe steak dinner before returning to the cruise.

“Excellent ”
What a great day, we visited the famous Fushimi Inari Shrine, as well as the Imperial Palace and Golden Temple. Our guide was exceptional and took us to a local Sushi Bar for lunch which was wonderful. We also had time to see the Ryoanji Zen Temple. Our guide was first class, making it a really fun and enjoyable day. Looking forward to her guiding us through Osaka in a few days. Highly recommended
