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.

Osaka Highlight - One Day Tour
Take a stroll along Shinsaibashi Street and Dotonbori. This area is the perfect place to enjoy Osaka's unique atmosphere, colorful scenery, and local cuisine. The Umeda area comprises office buildings, shopping malls, train stations, and a very complex underground shopping district. Osaka has a long history as a commercial city and is home to a castle. Visiting the castle and museums will give you a glimpse into its history and development.

“Great tour with Hiroyuki!”
We had a great tour with Hiroyuki! He helped design a tour to see several of the spots we were interested in, and guided us with a mixture of public transportation as well as taxis. He had a lot of knowledge of each of the sites, and engaged our kids (14 and 11) with questions and facts. He recommended an excellent udon restaurant outside the bamboo forest for lunch! Overall, a great tour and I would highly recommend!

Thank you for reviewing the Kyoto tour. It was delightful to hear your impressions of the thoughts of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, who built Kinkaku-ji Temple, and Tokugawa Ieyasu, who built Nijo Castle, as well as the history of these buildings. I also felt a sense of fulfillment as a guide, knowing that you enjoyed the scenery of Arashiyama and the udon noodles. We look forward to welcoming you back to Japan and Kyoto in the future.

The customers were female middle and high school students and teachers from Qatar. Moving around on foot with a group of over 30 people was quite challenging. Especially during the walking tour around the bamboo grove in Arashiyama, the narrow sidewalks caused long lines, making it difficult to coordinate movements. Thanks to the cooperation of the teachers and accompanying staff, we were able to take group photos safely and return to the bus on time. Additionally, during the bus ride, we engaged in conversations about Kyoto's history and Japanese greetings, with the teachers participating as well. I hope this was a memorable trip for everyone.
