About Tour Guide Kazunori O.
Hello! I’m Kazunori. I’ve been guiding visitors around Kyoto for the past two years. So far, I’ve guided more than 30 groups. Many guests have told me I should become a professional guide, and their kind reviews encouraged me to join GoWithGuide.
I know Kyoto very well, especially Arashiyama and the Higashiyama area, including Kiyomizu-dera.
My goal is to help you enjoy Japan so much that you’ll want to come back again. I’ll be happy to share Kyoto’s history, food culture, and traditions in a simple and enjoyable way.
I look forward to meeting you and showing you the beauty of Kyoto!
