About Tour Guide Naoki H.
Hi everyone! My name is Naoki.
I was born and raised in Nishinomiya, a city beautifully surrounded by Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, and Kobe!
I’m known for my friendly, reliable personality, and I always love putting a smile on people's faces.
As a full-time, experienced tour guide, I organize and manage tours all across this wonderful Kansai region, as well as over in Hiroshima.
Throughout my career, I’ve had the pleasure of guiding thousands of travelers and designing custom itineraries tailored to all kinds of unique interests.
If there are specific sights you’re dying to see, just let me know, and I’ll do my best to pack as much magic into your tour as possible!
Before becoming a guide, I spent over 15 years in the Japanese automotive logistics industry, working closely with international businesses. This background has given me a strong professional edge and a deep understanding of cross-cultural communication.
Kansai is a brilliant region with a rich history, incredible street food, and a unique local dialect (which is probably why so many of Japan's best comedians come from here!). It’s also widely known for having some of the friendliest cities in Japan. I would love to be your companion and show you the absolute best this region has to offer.
I look forward to meeting you soon!
Best regards,
Naoki

“Traditional food tour for 9 people”
It was a big group for Naoki to manage, especially for a food tour, but Naoki handled it expertly. The group loved the tour - a highlight of their stay in Osaka.

Naoki was exceptionally knowledgeable, professional, and attentive throughout the trip. His deep understanding of the sites we visited, along with his friendly demeanor, made the tour both informative and enjoyable.
