“Hero was a great guide!!”
We worked with Hero for two days in Kyoto and were so happy! He is so knowledgeable about the area and also very interesting and fun. We really enjoyed our time with him. He also took a ton of photos of us and sent then to us. We had a time crunch catching a train to the airport and he was so helpful in getting us back to the train station and getting us exactly to our platform so we would make the train on time. We had a great tour with him!!!

Thank you very much for sharing the New Year with me. It was a great time with you all. I hope you like some of my pictures. I was happy that we could manage a tight schedule from ramen lunch in Nara to the bullet train in Kyoto. Thank you for following me. I hope you have a great time in South Korea, too. See you next time in either Japan or the U.S.A. Hugs!

“Guided Tour With Hero ”
I just had an incredible experience in Kyoto with Hero on 2025-06-01. Hero is Excellent all around. Hero is a great listener and communicator. Hero is also very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. Hero was prepared and ensured each part of my tour was well organized. I experienced exactly what I hoped for on our tour. Hero went above and beyond ensuring my experience at the local palaces, temples, shrines, and our dining were meaningful. Hero is a unique guide in that he was easily able to share the depth and meaning behind what we saw at each stop. Tourists don’t always understand exactly what they are seeing. Hero uncovers the importance of each site. 5 Stars for Hero. I recommend Hero to all.

Thank you very much for writing a sweet review and for sharing a great time with me. I appreciated your respect for Japanese culture, history, customs, and food. I was happy to share local knowledge with you. I enjoyed the nice garden with light green young leaves. I hope we can meet up again in the future in either the U.S or Japan!! Hugs! Hero

“Fantastic day with Hero in Kyoto”
We had a fantastic day with Hiro in Kyoto. He picked us up at the Kobe port and took us to the train station where we experienced the smooth, fast ride on the bullet train to Kyoto. He showed us many sites, including the Fushimi-inari-taisha Shrine. He was excellent at explaining the history of what we were seeing. He booked lunch for us at a lovely restaurant and also took many pictures which he sent to us. We really enjoyed the day with Hiro and got to see a lot!!

Thank you very much for hiring me this time. I also had good time with you in Kyoto with cherry blossom. I also learned many things from you about Los Angeles. I hope I can visit to your city someday. Then, I will try real tacos. Again, thank you very much. Cheers!

I lived in Seattle, WA US for several years to study public policy and urban planning at University of Washington and Washington State Department of Transportation . The US life has awakened me to realize its beauty and value of the Japanese nature and culture. After coming back from US, I have started my professional career of the infrastructure development in both developed and developing countries as a Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) expert for more than 20 years. I have provided hospitality and honesty as a Japanese during my professional career. I can give you not only sightseeing tours but also technical tours with my expertise. I live in Osaka where an ancient capital city, Kyoto is located within a hour by train. I can show you how Japanese has developed the capital city with urban planning and infrastructure development. I look forward to seeing you here in Japan.
