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.
I’m looking forward to see you soon.
LOVE
Kaori

“Wonderful Experience with Kaori K. in Kyoto!”
My teen and I had the most amazing experience being guided through Kyoto by Kaori. She knew so much about the areas, temples, shrines and neighborhoods we visited. She was very flexible and always asked our interests before moving to the next landmark or restaurant. Kaori’s English is excellent and she also provided advice on things to do when our time with her came to an end. She has a wonderful sense of humor and it really feels like you’re being shown around by a dear friend. Both my child and I loved Kaori and if you have the opportunity to book with her do it! We were so lucky to have experienced Kyoto with Kaori.

“Osaka beginners day tour ”
My family of 4 ( 2 teen girls and parents ) had an amazing day with Kiori . She is very easy to chat with and friendly . My girls , husband and myself all enjoyed her company. She walked us through amazing food markets , Osaka castle and more . She made the whole experience more fun , interactive and meaningful .She never rushes you and gave us wonderful options for good food and snacks based along the way ,based on preferences . My girls mentioned Nintendo so she also took us to the Nintendo store. If you are in Osaka don’t hesitate and book with her , u will have much more fun than walking around on your own !
