About Tour Guide Hideo Y.

Hello, I'm HIDEo YOSHIda. Please call me HIDEYOSHI, the same name as the famous shogun who built the Osaka Castle in 1585.

I was born in Kobe and worked in Osaka for nearly 40 years. I would like to introduce the Kansai region to you ,including Kobe, Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, and Wakayama.

Kobe is one of the two largest ports in Japan, along with Yokohama. After the opening of the Port of Kobe in 1868, foreigners built their residences on the hillside of the Kitano-cho area, overlooking the ocean. Many of the foreign residences are now open to the public as museums, including the Weathercock House, with it's symbol weathercock on the triangle-shaped roof.

In Meriken Park, the red Port Tower (the city's landmark), creates a beautiful contrast against the white Kobe Marine Museum. The museum's design was inspired by the waves and sailing ships.

When you have a chance to visit Osaka, please join my tour. I'm sure you'll enjoy the interesting and historical, scenic spots. For example, Shin-Sekai is a downtown area with a strange mix of nostalgic atmosphere and contemporary energy. You can try local foods (kushikatsu, sushi, tempura) at a reasonable price. Billiken (a famous statue of the spirit of luck) will be waiting for you!!. Dotombori is a popular street with a lot of flashy signboards. Osaka is widely known as a "Kuidaore-no-machi", or literally "drinking and eating luxuriously to death." Osaka Castle was built by Toyotomi HIDEYOSHI in 1585. Oh, it's my residence, isn't it !

These days "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter" area in USJ, or Universal Studios Japan, is also attracting more and more people.

I'll be looking forward to seeing you !!

“Great visit to Hiroshima and Miyajima with Hideo”

Planning with Mr. Hideo through the platform prior to booking was quick and seamless. He tailored a perfect itinerary for our day and even met us right at our hotel, which was a massive plus. He effortlessly managed our train tickets and navigated the busy stations, making the round trip to Osaka completely stress-free. The pace of the day was realistic and well-thought-out; we visited every site on our list without ever feeling rushed. Mr. Hideo is incredibly knowledgeable and shared wonderful historical insights throughout the day. While there were minor language barriers at times, communication was never an issue. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. Highly recommend!

Hideo Y.

I'm very happy to receive your excellent review. You were 9 people including 3 infants. You had 2 baby cars, so I was a little worried if I could conduct the tour on schedule. However I could guide you Hiroshima tour smoothly for your cooperation. I showed you 2 World Heritage sites (Miyajima Itsukushima Shrine and Atomic Bomb Dome at the Peace Memorial Park.) About my English-speaking skill, I know I still need practice speaking English clearly. I wish all your family good health and happiness. I hope to see you again.

“Hanshin Tigers Game”

We had such a BLAST going to the Tigers game with Hideo! He kindly let us use his Tigers jerseys and noisemakers, what a fun time! We appreciated his knowledge about the Stadium and the Tigers, and taking us to and from the game by train from our hotel. We highly recommend going to a game with Hideo!

Hideo Y.

I'm very happy to receive your excellent review. In the game the highlight that the audience enjoy most is "Flying Balloons" just before the bottom of 7th inning when we suport Tigers. The whole audience blow up balloons and at the same time when the music ends, people release their hands to fly balloons. The Koshien stadium commands a panoramic view of yellow balloons. We had a fun time to see balloons flying. I hope you enjoy Japan trip and I wish you all the best in the future.

“An amazing day trip to Hiroshima and Miyajima ”

My parents trip to Hiroshima and Miyajima in was exceptional because of Hideo-San! His deep knowledge of Japanese culture and history enriched their experience. What truly stood out was his patience, kindness and attentiveness. He ensured my parents were enjoying the tour, looked after them when they become too tired and made sure they felt comfort. His warmth and enthusiasm truly enhanced their experience. We highly recommend Hideo-San to anyone wanting to visit Hiroshima and Miyajima .

Hideo Y.

I'm very happy to receive your excellent review. It was so high tide that we could see the great vermilion torii looking like floating on the sea at Miyajima. At the Peace Memorial Park, we saw Children's Peace Monument related to paper crane and thank you for hitting the bell to pray for the peace. It was the tour from Osaka to Hiroshima and I could execute my plan on the schedule thanks to your cooperation. I hope you enjoy Japan trip. I wish you and all your family good health and happiness.
