About Tour Guide Yoshiharu K.
Hi! I'm Yoshiharu. Please call me Yoshi. Yoshi means "good" in Japanese! I'm a good man (^^);;;.
I was born in Kyoto but I lived there 3 months. Then my family moved to Osaka and I grew up in Osaka.
So I am almost Osakan.
When I was young, my hobby was traveling by bicycle. I went cycling around most part of Japan except Shikoku.
In my family rule, Shikoku is in bad direction because my grand father died just after his Shikoku pilgrimage.
So I want to have a cycling tour not only in Kyoto (coming soon!) but also all part of Japan someday.
I am interested in Japanese history.
I am a National Certificated Guide. And I have "Kyoto Tourism Culture Certification 3rd grade", "Osaka Expert Certification 3rd grade", "Nara Concierge 2nd grade" and "Karuizawa Web test 3rd grade".
So I have expert knowledge about Kyoto, Osaka, Nara and Karuizawa and common knowledge about Kobe.
Besides I like gadgets, so I can guide you DenDen town in Osaka.
When you have a chance to visit Kyoto or Osaka or other city in this area,
please contact me anytime and join my tour!
I'll be looking forward to seeing you, spending wonderful time with you.

“Street walking/shopping”
He is so very knowledgeable, and helpful. And if you have specific questions or needs, he will help you! Very nice, and easy going. I bought many items.
Yoshiharu K.
Dear Ann Thank you for your evaluation! I also enjoyed the tour because I could know new things in Bukkouji-street. For instance, in Japanese cooking knife shop, the very old master used google translation to communicate with foreign customers. I was very surprised. Anyway, thank you very much. Yours sincerely, Yoshi
“Osaka Highlights”
The guide was friendly and courteous but lacked the details of the sites. Too expensive, not worth the money.
Yoshiharu K.
Thank you for your evaluation. But I could not understand what you really want to do. And I should have ask it, but I confused what I should ask you and I should explain. Next time I will have effort to ask it and to explain what you are interested in. Yours sincerely, Yoshi
“Great day exploring Osaka ”
Yoshi did a great job showing us around Osaka, helping us get a dinner reservation at a Kobe steak restaurant. Highly recommended him to show you around Osaka.

Kyoto highlights (Kyoto departure)
This Kyoto highlight tour includes the most popular destinations in Kyoto, Arashiyama Bamboo trail, Golden Pavilion, Gion (Geisha district), Fushimi-Inari shrine(Hundreds of Shrine gates) in one day. I believe this tour is suitable for beginner of Kyoto travelers.
Nara Highlights from Kyoto or Osaka
Nara is located about 40km south from Kyoto and 30km east from Osaka. It is an older capital than Kyoto and as old as Osaka. It was about 1300 years ago. There are ancient temples. Most of them are older than Kyoto and are not Zen temple. Nara is quieter than Kyoto and Osaka. More than one thousand friendly deer live with Nara citizens. And also Nara has a lot of local food like Sushi, Ramen and so on. You would be able to have unique experience.
Himeji : Hyogo Golden Route (one of five tours)
Hyogo prefecture is about 150km long in north-south direction. There are many sight seeing spots, not only Kobe, Himeji but also Izush-Toyooka, Tanba-Sasayama Awaji island. So Hyogo government decleared "Hyogo Golden Route" as recommended tours. I would like to guide those areas where tourists do not know well. Each area is one day tour. You can have a different experience from Kyoto or Osaka.
