About Tour Guide Naoki H.

Hi! My name is Naoki,


I was born and bred in Osaka. I have a reliable and friendly personality and always enjoy making people smile.


I am a full time Experienced Tour Guide organizing and managing tours, not just in Osaka but all over the Kansai-area including Kyoto, Nara, Kobe and Hiroshima.


I have experience in directly managing groups of over 500 travelers so far and also designing specific itineraries for different needs and sights. If you have any specific sights that you would like to see then please let me know and I will accommodate as many sites as possible into any tour.


Outside of my tour guiding, I have had a career over 15 years in Japanese car logistics taking care of lots of international businesses which allows me to have a professional manner in face to face communication.


Osaka is a brilliant city with long history, amazing street food, unique accent (so we have lots of comedians here!) and also known as the most friendly city in Japan. I would love to be the perfect companion for your visit to one of the best cities in Japan! I look forward to seeing you soon!


Best Regards

Naoki

Sugooooi ne!

I booked a couple of tours with Naoki and this is one of them. We visited many places but what added value was Naoki's knowledge about them and his warm and generous hospitality. It also helped that he spoke perfect English, which left nothing to doubt and made our interactions a breeze.

Jonas T.
