A day of site seeing in Osaka with Takashi M.

Takashi is an excellent guide and a very pleasant and personable young man. His command of the English language is very strong and his knowledge of Osaka, and Japan overall is impressive. I would rate Takashi as one of the best guides I have ever had.

Thank you so much for your review :) I’m glad to know that you had a good day. I had a great day with you. I hope to see you again ;)

Amazing weekend in Osaka and Kyoto

We took a quick weekend trip to Osaka and Kyoto in January and it was one of our best trips yet! Takashi was great to communicate with as we planned our weekend. Then once we arrived in Osaka for our weekend tour he was prompt, very patient with our family, very personable, and accommodated all of our little side stops but still kept us on track to see everything in Osaka and Kyoto we possibly could with the short time we had. We can’t wait to go back! Highly recommend Takashi as your tour guide!

Best guide ever!

Takashi was the perfect host in Kyoto. His super interesting background and deep knowledge helped us truly understand the insights of the city, and made our trip much more enjoyable. If you have the opportunity to spend some time with Takashi, don't hesitate and go for it!!

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.

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!!
