“Amazing guide!!!”
Uuki was a great guide for my family and I during our trip to Japan, she made us feel so comfortable and gave us more than enough time to explore and shop around. Uuki was very mindful and helped us make a good itinerary within the time frame. We would use her again if we came back to Japan!!

Dear Lucero, I’m so happy you said so, thank you for those best memories your family members have brought me. Hope I can see you again someday!:)<3
“Minoo Falls and America-mura”
Uki was an excellent guide to the water fall in Minoo park and my 18 year old son was looking for a place to find cool clothes. Uki suggested America-mura and my son was able to find what he was looking for. Uki helped us find food along the way and made suggestion for the rest of our time in Osaka.

In the middle of September, the weather was still humid and thank you so much for doing the little hiking with me. I hope you enjoyed the beautiful scenery and hope your son enjoy his gap year, have new discoveries:)
“Uki was excellent!”
UKi was excellent!!! She was fun, energetic, informative, flexible & so thoughtful. She was terrific with our older teenagers, accommodating and made it a wonderful two days in Kyoto. She was very sensitive of my being a bit slower with a walking cane. She also knew what sites might be a little more challenging on my legs versus for my teenagers whom we encouraged to go for it while she kept me company at a café nearby waiting for them. She handled all the logistics of taxi, Uber, trains and made it all run so smoothly. After only a few hours with her, you feel at home with her. She’s such a good person! We’re so impressed with UKi. She made our tour amazing and so enjoyable! We miss her already! Thank you Uki!

Dear Mitch, Thank you so much for giving me this heartwarming review. I translated your words to my grandmother, she seemed very relieved to hear that I’m doing good at my job, thank you so much. I admire you because even your leg hurt, you and your family made this Japan journey a very nice one. I hope you and your family always stay happy, just like when you are traveling to Japan. I hope your parents like the hot pot, too. I will try hard in study, and hope someday I can go to US to see you.

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.

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!!
