I'm Hiroyuki.
I was born in Osaka, central city in western Japan, and when I was college student, lived in Kyoto, previous capital of Japan, and now live in Tokyo, current capital.
I have worked for a global company for about 30 years. Working with international members gave me the opportunity to communicate with people with different cultures, and sometimes the opportunity to guide the spots of interest to them.
I found it interesting to show Japanese interesting spots to the guests, such as the wonderful things, strange things, mysterious things, marvelous things.
For the past few years, I tried to improve ability to communicate with people from abroad. Recently, Japanese history intrigued me.
I’m really into finding historical places, local favorites, and unique systems in Japan.
In the tour pages, I am introducing tours in Tokyo and tours in Kyoto and Osaka. I include the orthodox sightseeing places. However, you could also specify some unique local places. Information about local spots and local foods such as Ramen, Udon would be interesting to you. Please contact me and let’s talk about your itinerary specially made to order.
I’m looking forward to hearing from you and to seeing you in Japan.

An absolutely brilliant day with Hiroyuki who had spent so much time researching and organising the day. Ceramic museum was something we will never forget. Shopping arcades also amazing in size and variety. Osaka castle was very good as well. Hiroyuki showed us and explained so much both historically and on the Japanese way of life. Lunch was traditional Japanese meal which was outstanding. Cannot recommend Hiroyuki to you highly enough.
Thanks for your comments. The tour was very rewarding. Having tour with you made me aware of new spots and something new even in the usual spots.
Had a very good day with Hiroyuki. We really enjoyed our day. He was very caring and considerate considering our age. He was also knowledgeable about Osaka. We would highly recommend Hiroyuki
We had an enjoyable time during the tour. I could get the thoughts on the visited spots in this tour and also in the experienced tours all over the world from everyone. Thanks for joining my tour and sharing experience.
Hiro provided our group with a wonderful sightseeing experience in Japan. We had opportunities to experience Japanese culture by visiting areas of historical importance, learning more about Japanese customs, and tasting a variety of delicious Japanese cuisine. Hiro was friendly and very accommodating and flexible with our schedule during the trip. Even though parts of our schedule changed during the trip to cater to the group's needs, the tour was seamless. We would consider re-booking with Hiro if we are visiting the area again.
It made me happy that you all had full of curiosity, enjoyed variety of Japanese foods and sight-seeing spots. I will be glad to guide you next time.
Hiroyuki san is a good tour guide. He's very friendly and knows abt places and food very well. He accommodated the tour according to the needs of my 3 young children. He was punctual and has good time management to ensure our itenary is fulfilled. Thank you Hiro-san.
We had 5 days of very inclusive tours in three different cities. We were fortunate to see many examples of Japan's history and culture. Hiroyuki was a very passionate guide and I think enjoyed sharing his knowledge to our group.
I had a lot of great experience with you. I was glad that you enjoyed some Japanese foods and loved Kiyosumi garden. Hearing your impressions and seeing the pictures of your home town, I thought I want to show you the other sightseeing spots rich in natural beauty such as Hakone.
