About Tour Guide Hiroyuki H.

I'm Hiroyuki.

I was born in Osaka, central city in western Japan, and when I was college student, lived in Kyoto, previous capital of Japan, and now live in Tokyo, current capital.

I have worked for a global company for about 30 years. Working with international members gave me the opportunity to communicate with people with different cultures, and sometimes the opportunity to guide the spots of interest to them.

I found it interesting to show Japanese interesting spots to the guests, such as the wonderful things, strange things, mysterious things, marvelous things.

For the past few years, I tried to improve ability to communicate with people from abroad. Recently, Japanese history intrigued me.

I’m really into finding historical places, local favorites, and unique systems in Japan.

In the tour pages, I am introducing tours in Tokyo and tours in Kyoto and Osaka. I include the orthodox sightseeing places. However, you could also specify some unique local places. Information about local spots and local foods such as Ramen, Udon would be interesting to you. Please contact me and let’s talk about your itinerary specially made to order.

I’m looking forward to hearing from you and to seeing you in Japan.

Amazing Kyoto experience

We had a one day tour around Kyoto with Mr. Hiroyuki. We are a family of 7 and he was very accomodating with our paces considering the varied age groups. He shared so much of knowledge regarding all the attractions. And he made travelling around Kyoto very easy. We had a great time with him.

I am delighted that you enjoyed your one-day tour of Kyoto. I imagine you had a busy time taking care of your family member who had sore feet, sending her back to the hotel in the middle of the tour, and then rejoining the tour. Even so, we were able to visit as many places as possible thanks to everyone's cooperation. I hope you all returned safely with many wonderful memories. Hiroyuki

Discovering Osaka Hiroyuki - April 2025

We had an amazing experience with our local guide, Hiroyuki, during our half-day tour of Osaka. Hiroyuki's punctuality and warm welcome at our hotel set a positive tone for the day. His extensive knowledge of Osaka Castle, Dotonbori, and the Osaka Museum of Housing and Living made our visit truly enriching. He shared fascinating stories and historical facts that brought each location to life. Hiroyuki's storytelling and deep experience as a guide were evident throughout the tour. His anecdotes about Osaka's history and culture added a unique and personal touch to our visit. He was attentive to our needs, helping us navigate the metro and suggesting the best local snacks. We highly recommend Hiroyuki to anyone looking for an exceptional guide in Osaka. His expertise and friendly nature made our visit unforgettable. Thank you, Hiroyuki, for a fantastic day!

I am delighted that you enjoyed your half-day tour of Osaka. I tried to share general information about the spots, my personal experiences, and my thoughts with you. The tour was lively because you freely shared your opinions and impressions. I would be happy if you would share your travel experiences with your friends and deepen their familiarity with Japan and Osaka. Hiroyuki

Great tour of Osaka with Hiroyuki

Our group of four had a FANTASTIC day with Hiroyuki. We explored Osaka Castle, Dontonbori, several shrines and more. We also had a fantastic Okonomiyaka meal at a cool restaurant. Hiroyuki knew all the cool places to see, short cuts around a couple lines, and a lot of Japanese history. His tour was exactly what we wanted: a great local tourguide. His English is very good, and I would strongly recommend him!

Thank you for recommending me as a guide. It is encouraging for a guide to take a tour with someone who is interested in Japanese history and culture, like you. If you know someone who is interested in Japan, I would love to take a tour with them.    Hiroyuki

Thank you for visiting my page. I will guide you to the ancient capital cities with 1000 years of urban development and 100 years of filming and screening history. I grew up in Osaka, studied in Kyoto, and worked for 20 years as an urban planning expert for the national and local governments. During this time, I surveyed many community development sites throughout Japan. I welcomed business leaders to encourage investment in the cities. After quitting my career, I became a film-loving professional engineer. I visited unique cities in foreign countries to see urban planning and locations that appeared in picturesque film scenes and posted photos on social media (90 cities in 30 countries up to now). The more I saw foreign cities, the more I loved my hometown. I wanted to know about the travel industry and got a national license as a Guide-Interpreter and Travel Service Manager. I have started guiding based in the old capital cities. The entire area of old Osaka, Kyoto, and Nara has been a Metropolitan area centered on the Imperial Palace, and the actual location of the Palace has changed 15 times since the 7th century. This area has many historical spots and hidden attractions in different times and places: the townscape, temples, shrines, landscaped gardens, and historical drama locations (SAMURAI drama). I will create your favorite tour using my list, and guide you leisurely. I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello, I’m Makoto (Mac) and I'm a national-licensed tour guide. My previous career as an automotive engineer, gave me the opportunity to learn English and to live in the US, Germany, and England. After I retired, I learned more about the Japanese history especially focusing on Nara and Kyoto to become a historical specialist of the Nara area. I now live in Ikaruga town in Nara prefecture, where the UNESCO World Heritage, Horyuji temple is located. I regularly offer guides on the Fujinoki tumulus, which is located near the Horyuji temple. It contains very interesting Archaeological findings from the end of the Kofun Period. Recently, there are many foreign tourists who come to Japan, and I hope they enjoy learning about the culture and history of Japan. I would like to help tourists have a broader and deeper understanding of the Japanese culture and that is the reason why I decided to become a tour guide to help and support their experience in Japan. Nara is the place where Japan started. The capital was located in Asuka, Fujiwara and Nara before it moved to Kyoto. Therefore, there are many places to visit in Nara to trace the original history of Japan, which I have a depth of knowledge. Let’s explore the roots of Japan together!!
