About Tour Guide Ryuichiro M.

I am Ryuichiro, a 27-year-old who was born in Tokyo.

For the past 12 years, I've been living in Kyoto, having moved there after high school.

My university years saw me studying abroad at National University of Singapore, enriching my perspective of the world. I've served as a guide throughout my college years, volunteering for four years and assisting over 30 groups of tourists.

My extensive overseas experiences enable me to empathize with travelers, helping to alleviate their concerns and ensuring they create delightful memories.

I hope to have the opportunity to assist you on your journey.

See you soon.

In week day, I am only available after 18:30.

But if you kindly request me 1 week before, I may fix my schedule.

Thank you.

Hidden Gems

We read the description of the intiniary and knew, that is what we want, no tourists, the rural japan and the life beyond the big cities. And we weren‘t disappointed. We were lucky or unlucky, depending on our footwear and resistance to the cold, that it was snowing heavily. But Ryuichiro adapted the day's program perfectly. We got a great insight into Japan away from the big attractions. We ate the best soba and tempura ever, met the most passionate sake producer and drove through the mountains on the narrowest roads in Kyoto. And on top of all that, I was able to collect a not-so-common goshuin for my mini collection. Thank you Ryuichiro! We were very happy to have this experience with you, it was not only informative and interesting, but also sociable and fun! We had a lot of fun and look forward to inviting you for a fondue in Zurich soon! ありがとうございました。 -Silvio and Nico

Hi Silvio and Nico, It was such a pleasure to spend a day of your amazing vacation with you yesterday. Even though the snow had me a bit worried at first, I'm really glad we had a safe and fun time together. There are still so many awesome spots in Kyoto—and all over Japan—that I'd love to show you, so please come back if you ever get the chance. I won't be able to catch up on my Zurich trip next week, but I do travel there quite a bit. Next time I'm in town, let's definitely grab some fondue together! Enjoy the rest of your vacation and stay safe. Feel free to reach out if you need anything. Take care! Ryuichiro MINE

Thank you so much for the wonderful time!

Caring, Thoughtful & Flexible Guide in Kyoto!!!

Ryuichiro was the best guide! I planned a Japan trip for my family of 7. Ages 77 to 9 years old. Plans changed daily and everyone had their agenda on what to do. Ryuichiro was great to adapt to everyone’s needs. He is patient , easy going and let us take our time when we were at the sites. Ryuichiro is a great translator, he also took us to the local spots where we didn’t see many tourists which was great! Not only did he plan our day he suggested excellent restaurants , reserved our dinner reservations and gave us suggestions on things to do outside of our “tour day”. Ryuichiro is a great guide and will be great for your Kyoto tour needs!! Thank you Ryuichiro for being so accommodating!

Osaka Tour Guide - Yosshi S.

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.                                                                                                                                  

Shiga Tour Guide - Koichi W.

Hi! I'm Koichi. I was born in Osaka, I studied in Kyoto when I was a university student. Now I live in Shiga next to Kyoto. I am a national government licensed tour guide. I have been guiding about 160 groups over the past twelve months. I usually guide my customers mainly in Kansai region including Kyoto, Nara, Osaka, Kobe and Shiga by public transportation systems. Well, I am curious about Japanese history, especially the history of Japan's ancient times since I was raised next to the world biggest mausoleum of the ancient Emperor called "Nintoku" in Sakai city Osaka which has just become one of the world cultural heritage sites. I dug out some ancient earthen ware vessels around there when I was a primary school student like the adventure archaeologist “Indiana Jones" (It’s our secret!!). That was my hobby. Now, one of my hobbies is outdoor activities such as mountaineering, kayaking, skiing and others. So I would like to take you to some good places where you can enjoy Japanese unique nature. I love to guide foreign visitors from all over the world. I think it is my calling or heavenly given job. Let's go and enjoy together! I hope to see you soon.

I have worked in the multi-national organizations including UN agency for around 30 years and stationed at various cities including Rome, Bangkok and Hanoi. Although I have retired from those international carriers, I wish to keep the international cooperation and develop the friendship with people who visits our country. As I like history and am practicing Noh song and wood curving of Buddha images, I have decided to live in Nara where is surrounded by many historical places and traditional cultures, when I returned back to Japan in 2017. I wish to offer you custom made trip ideas to be able to enjoy the atmosphere of old city, Nara. I am also planning to develop trip plans to enjoy the local cultures. Please call me Yasu.

Hello! I am Kanae, a nationally licensed guide. While working full-time as a lecturer at a local university in Kyoto, I have also been guiding for two years. Born and raised in Kyoto, I am excited to share the beauty and culture of my hometown with my customers. Kyoto is an enchanting city, and even as a local, I am continually fascinated by its many charming spots. Whether it's the serene temples, vibrant markets, or hidden gems, there is always something new to explore and appreciate in this wonderful city. Also, since my home is close to Shiga Prefecture, I am very familiar with the area. While Shiga may not be as popular as Kyoto, it offers a wealth of attractions for tourists. From historical sites such as temples and shrines to the stunning natural beauty of Lake Biwa, the largest lake in Japan, there is much to see and do. I am passionate about promoting Shiga and sharing its unique charm with visitors.
