About Tour Guide Hiro K.

Hi, I’m Hiro.


With me, you can experience travel that goes beyond sightseeing and connects you with local culture and everyday life in Japan. You might cook with local grandmothers, walk through rice fields with farmers, taste seasonal ingredients, visit a neighborhood grocery store, stop by a small coffee shop, or go bar hopping with locals. These are ways to enjoy the slower rhythm of life in Aomori.


My great-grandmother was from Hakodate, Hokkaido. I have visited many times since childhood, so I can guide you there too and help you explore Aomori and Hakodate in one journey.


I was born and raised in Aomori and have close connections with local farmers, families, and community members. Before returning home, I spent eight years in Tokyo serving in the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force, where I helped welcome VIP guests, including state guests and world leaders. Having lived in both Tokyo and rural Japan, I can help you experience both sides of the country.


I’m a licensed guide and a licensed nature guide, as well as a Leave No Trace Level 1 Instructor. I also hold Medic First Aid certification. If you enjoy being outdoors, I would be happy to guide you along the Michinoku Coastal Trail or introduce you to other nature experiences.


Feel free to contact me anytime. I would be happy to welcome you to Japan.

Important

I can also help guide longer journeys across Japan, including multi-week trips and even full Japan travel experiences from countryside villages to major cities.

“The Past and Present in a 6 hour Tour”

The three of us were impressed with Hiro's knowledge at the Sannai-Maruyama site and enjoyed the morning that we spent there. The tour could be as long or short as we wanted, as Hiro is quite flexible, but we were pleased to take in as much as we could. Lunch followed at an excellent downtown restaurant and since two of us have dietary requirements, Hiro was aware and ensured that we both remained healthy.The cultural present was represented by the Wa Rasse museum which highlights the Nebuta Festival. The floats that we saw were incredibly beautiful, colourful and spirited - impressive works of art. Enjoyed an enthusiastic, joyful and informative tour - in fact we thought so highly of him we are going to have him guide us on another tour when the ship returns in October. Deb B.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. The three of you were so intellectually curious that I truly enjoyed our time together as well. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and perspectives with me about how buildings were constructed, local plants, and the connections between different cultures and regions around the world. It was a real pleasure and an honor to learn from you and discuss these topics together. I also took you to a place that I don’t usually include on my tours, and I was delighted that it ended up being one of the places you enjoyed the most! I’m glad you enjoyed our lunch and that we could accommodate everyone’s dietary needs. At the Nebuta Museum WA RASSE, it also made me very happy to see you looking beyond the beautiful floats and taking an interest in the history and culture behind the festival. We even had time to share stories about our families, which made those six hours together even more enjoyable and memorable for me. Thank you again, and I’m already looking forward to our next adventure together in October. I have more in store for you! Hiro

“Wonderful Local Guide”

Hiro was a wonderful guide. He is a local who knows his way around the area and speaks both Japanese and English. We did not select one of Hiro’s pre-packaged tours; rather, due to our time constraints and interests, Hiro provided a custom itinerary based on our schedule and places of interest. We mainly needed someone to serve as an intermediary for the places we wanted to see since we were unfamiliar with the area, do not speak Japanese, and had limited time. Hiro arrived on time and kept us informed of his location and arrival time. At each destination, Hiro was flexible in allowing us to take our time to explore but made sure we arrived at our next destination on time. When our selected lunch location was too busy, he recommended a local shop that served delicious ramen. Overall, Hiro was positive and friendly, knowledgeable about the areas we visited, thoughtful toward our interests and needs, easy to communicate with, and provided an affordable rate.

Thank you so much, Kyle san, for your wonderful review. Spending time with your family made me think, “This is what a truly happy family looks like.” I was especially impressed by everyone’s intellectual curiosity. At the Sannai-Maruyama Site, I was delighted to show you places that I do not usually include in my tours, and your family explored everything with genuine interest and enthusiasm. I was also amazed to see your grandfather, who is over 80 years old, jumping energetically as a Haneto dancer at the Nebuta Museum! Having such a healthy body and joyful spirit at his age is truly inspiring. Ending our time together with ramen and delicious coffee was also wonderful. I hope you were able to find and buy the watch you were looking for. I also hope that the two of you who went to see the Nebuta festival that evening had a wonderful and unforgettable experience. I had a wonderful time guiding your family. I hope your family’s future cruise adventures continue to bring you many joyful and unforgettable memories. When my partner and I visit the United States, I would love to get in touch with you! Hiro
