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.

“Brilliant Guide”
Kaori was a brilliant guide an companion. She was very knowledgeable, and her English explanations were clear. She was great fun to be with and went out of her way to ensure we were on the right train to get to Kobe. We highly recommend Kaori if you want a great companion while being shown the sights.

“Wonderful time in Kyoto!”
Thank you Kaori for your wonderful guidance in Kyoto! Our family loved all the great attractions (temples, shrines, street foods, and souvenir shopping) you led us to. Of course our favorite spot was Kiyomizu-dera and our Kimono experience! Thank you for being so accommodating with our time and our food choices. The weather was perfect and our pictures came out lovely! We love our souvenir frames and wall decorations with the sakuras - so pretty! This was an amazing 2days we’ll take with us and always cherish. I would highly recommend your service to anyone looking to explore Kyoto.
