About Tour Guide Kaori K.

“Kyoto by train ”

Kaori met us at the port and provided us with travel cards which we topped up and lasted all day on the local Osaka network and the train to Kyoto. We asked to visit temples and shrines and thoroughly enjoyed visiting 2 sites as well as a walk through the Gion district. Kaori speaks excellent English and quickly understood what we liked to see and do. We stopped for traditional Japanese food and snacks, visited ceramic and kimono shops. A brilliant day with an excellent guide.

Hi Jackie :) Thank you for your comment about Kyoto tour! I’m glad you like traditional mochi and matcha sweets! I might push you to walk too much around Kyoto,,,, but you and Dave are very energetic and try your best always! I’m proud of you!! Still you have more days in Japan (other cities) so wish you could find a kimono jacket which you really like and ceramic to remember Japan :) Thank you very much for sharing beautiful fun time! Safe trip! Kaori

“Osaka on a rainy day”

Kaori made our entirely rainy day in Osaka fun and memorable. We visited the history museum, which is very interesting, but also gave us a view of the castle without going out and getting soaked. We also visited 2 very long covered shopping streets. Great introduction to Japanese food and culture and dry. We had a day ticket for the subway which Kaori navigated with ease.

Hello Jackie :) Thank you for your comment! I was really worried about the weather and it was much worse than I thought! Hard rain and strong winds,,,, So we couldn’t visit where we planned but because of your flexibility to accept my recommendation, we couldn’t stay dry and warm lol Thank you for your cooperations!

“Great guide and tour of Kobe”

We had a great tour with Kaori in Kobe. Kaori met us at Shin-Kobe station and helped get our luggage stored before we set off on a walking tour. Kaori’s bubbly personality and passionate commentary were great, and we had a wonderful time wandering through the different parts of Kobe right down to the waterfront and Meriken Park. Kaori’s lunch spot recommendation was spot on as well. As we headed back to the Station, she took us on a walk close by up to several beautiful waterfalls. A great way to finish off our tour. Thanks again Kaori-San for a great tour!
