Hello, I’m Kazuhiko. Please call me “Kazu”. I'm a national-licensed tour guide. I have a wife and 4 children.
I was born in Osaka city near Kyoto, although I have lived in many places across Japan. I used to work for multinational electric company and I traveled to many countries (U.S., Thailand, Hong Kong etc.) on business.
I have enjoyed guiding many foreign tourists in Kyoto, Nara, Osaka, Hiroshima, Tokyo, Mt. Fuji etc. for many years.
During your tour, you can discover a rich Japanese history spanning about 2,000 years, learn about and experience profound Japanese arts (tea ceremony, flower arrangement etc.), feel the spiritual atmosphere of Buddhist temples or Shinto shrines, see a breathtakingly beautiful scenery of Mt. Fuji, bamboo forest, Japanese gardens etc..
Moreover, you can taste Japanese cuisine that each season has to offer (Sushi, Tempura, Soba or ramen noodle etc.).
You can get close to nature and feed wild deer or monkeys or even a build snowman in winter.
I’m sure that I can provide a splendid tour of Japan that will be a lasting memory for you to treasure.
Experience the mysteries of Japan with 5 senses !!
Your memorable tour awaits you.
Please feel free to contact me!!

We would highly recommend Kazu to be your tour guide in Kyoto. He was very prompt, knowledgeable and professional. We enjoyed very much our day visiting the Fushimi Imari Shrine, the Bamboo Forest, Kinkaku-ji Temple and a first for both Kazu and ourselves, a great visit to the Zen Tenryu-ji temple We were provided with printouts explaining both Japanese history and where we would be visiting during the day. We also enjoyed a nice sushi lunch and were delighted to receive a small present of origami made by his wife Thank you Kazu for a wonderful and memorable day Andy & Wendy
