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

“Great tour ”
We used the metro system which was cheap and efficient to get around Osaka. Kaori sorted tickets and took us to lots of places at great times so the queues weren’t so big. She encouraged us to try lots of different foods at the market and we felt we had a good experience of Osaka. Thank you Kaori k.

“Fantastic bespoke tour”
Kaori was great. She waited for our ship to dock as we were over an hour late. She took us on the bus up the side of the mountain and then into Kobe main area. We visited lots of sites and took great pictures. Topped off with sake tasting. Awe made the most of our time in Kobe

“A great day with a great guide”
Kaori has excellent English, she is scholar and has a wide and deep knowledge. She was very flexible and changed the program to our request very wisely. There was no one question we didn’t get answer . And not less important Kaori is very nice, kind and a person you like to spend time with. When we arrived to Osaka we thought there is nothing to see but Kaori proved us We’re absolutely wrong. No doubt she enriched our visit in Okasa.
