About Tour Guide Shigeaki C.
I am a local guide based in Kobe, passionate about sharing the city’s unique blend of history, nature, good view and everyday culture.
My tours focus on places that are often overlooked by visitors—old buildings, quiet shrines, traditional neighborhoods, and scenic nature that reveal the true character of Kobe.
I enjoy guiding small groups and creating relaxed, friendly experiences where guests can learn, explore, and enjoy local life at their own pace.
Whether we are walking through a tunnel of torii gates, visiting a historic Japanese house, enjoying a homemade Japanese lunch or other unique food, or exploring the peaceful nature-rich area, I aim to provide meaningful insights and warm hospitality.
If you are looking for an authentic, local experience in Kobe, I would be delighted to guide you.

Having traveled to many countries myself, I know exactly what makes a trip unforgettable, authentic local experiences and stress-free environment. Why book with me?

If you need recommendations for Japanese cosmetics or the best local snacks, just ask me.
