Hi!
I had been working for Wakayama Prefectural Government for 38 years, mainly in the field of cultural heritage management and international relations. I am a national certificated English guide and I have a lot of knowledge and experience in the field of cultural heritage management and international relations.
I am very good at cultural heritages.
And Koyasan and Kumano in Wakayama Prefecture are inscribed in the World Heritage List as parts of “Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range". I was a project manager of "the Koyasan and Kumano World Heritage Inscription Project” at Wakayama Prefectural Government. I know inside and out of Koyasan, Kumano, Wakayama and other places in the Kansai area.
I have a lot of experience of guiding as I was also in charge of international relations for a long time at the government.
I will be able to provide interpretive guiding service for you around Koyasan, Wakayama, Osaka and other places in the Kansai area as I am a cultural heritage management and international relations professional.
I am sure you will be able to get deeper understandings on Japanese culture and that your trip with me will be memorable one.
All tours can be customized for you. Send me a message with your requests!

Eva-san, It was very nice meeting you in Osaka today. It was a cold day, but it a lovely day. I hope that you liked the city of Osaka and its history. Weather forecast says it will snow tonight in Osaka. Have a safe trip home. Hiro
“Osaka Tour”
We had an excellent tour with Hiro. He was organized, knowledgeable and a good communicator. He has an extensive knowledge of Japanese history and culture due to his background and we learned a lot from him!

Steve-san, Thank you very much for spending time in Osaka the other day. To be honest with you, it sometimes is difficult to do a tour with clients with young adults. But you were different. Your kids were wonderful. They were interested in Japanese culture and asked me a lot questions which I liked. You have a wonderful family and kids. Please take good care of yourself and come to Japan sometime in the future. Thank you very much again. Hiro
