About Tour Guide Yoshihisa T.

“Simply the best!”

Yoshie was simply the best guide we could have asked for on our day in Kyoto. From the very first moment, he made us feel like old friends rather than tourists — kind, attentive, quick with a joke at just the right moment, and wonderful company throughout the entire tour. But what truly sets Yoshie apart is the depth with which he knows and shares Japanese culture. Every temple, every corner of Kyoto became a living story through him — not the usual tour-guide facts, but rich, passionate explanations that clearly reflected years of study and genuine love for his homeland. He helped us understand things we never would have grasped on our own, striking a perfect balance between cultural depth and lightheartedness. Beyond his extraordinary knowledge, it was his warm humanity that made the day unforgettable. Funny, present, and genuinely invested in giving us an authentic experience. If you're looking for a guide who combines deep knowledge, great energy, and a big heart, Yoshie is simply the right choice. We recommend him without any hesitation to anyone who wants to discover Kyoto through someone who truly loves it.

“Great tour around Nara”

Our five-hour tour of Nara with Yoshihisa was fantastic, and we highly recommend him. From the very beginning, his communication leading up to the day was clear and helpful, making the planning seamless. As soon as we met at the train station, he went above and beyond by helping us resolve an issue with our IC cards that we couldn't fix on our own, which saved our trip back home. Another thoughtful touch was a beautiful gift of origami made by his wife, which was a wonderful surprise. Yoshihisa did a great job tailoring the day to our specific interests. We started at a beautiful garden, which was a major interest of ours, before exploring the temples. Throughout the day, he handled all the logistics of getting tickets at each site and guided us smoothly, sharing useful information about Japanese customs, history, and traditions. He was also glad to answer all of our questions and selected a site for a great lunch. We kept up a quick pace to fit everything in, allowing us to see many great temples and sites around Nara before returning to the station. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, helpful, and organized guide, definitely book a tour with Yoshihisa.
