“Wonderful guide to Kochi”
Tomoko We contacted Tomoko to guide us around Kōchi. We wanted to visit this city to see Makino Botanical Garden and some temples and shrines. Tomoko was very well organized. She had detailed schedules of the various means of transportation that we used including walking, taxis and buses. She kept us on our schedule so that we were able to see the sites we were most interested in. Although we went to the Makino Botanical Garden in late October we were delighted to find some plants in bloom. There were many things to see - too many for a short visit - and we would like to spend more time there the next time we visit. We also visited a beautiful Shinto shrine on a promontory at the end of Katsurahama beach and another in town. At the end of our tour she guided us to Hirome Market. She explained how the market worked. We quickly found some delicious things to eat. I particularly wanted to try katsuo on tataki, bonito grilled over straw. I spotted a fellow walking by towards a table with exactly that. My wife was able to ask him where he bought it. He walked me over to the shop and I returned soon afterwards with a splendid serving of grilled tuna. We highly recommend Tomoko as a guide!

Hideo Y.
Hello, I'm HIDEo YOSHIda. Please call me HIDEYOSHI, the same name as the famous shogun who built the Osaka Castle in 1585. I was born in Kobe and worked in Osaka for nearly 40 years. I would like to introduce the Kansai region to you ,including Kobe, Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, and Wakayama. Kobe is one of the two largest ports in Japan, along with Yokohama. After the opening of the Port of Kobe in 1868, foreigners built their residences on the hillside of the Kitano-cho area, overlooking the ocean. Many of the foreign residences are now open to the public as museums, including the Weathercock House, with it's symbol weathercock on the triangle-shaped roof. In Meriken Park, the red Port Tower (the city's landmark), creates a beautiful contrast against the white Kobe Marine Museum. The museum's design was inspired by the waves and sailing ships. When you have a chance to visit Osaka, please join my tour. I'm sure you'll enjoy the interesting and historical, scenic spots. For example, Shin-Sekai is a downtown area with a strange mix of nostalgic atmosphere and contemporary energy. You can try local foods (kushikatsu, sushi, tempura) at a reasonable price. Billiken (a famous statue of the spirit of luck) will be waiting for you!!. Dotombori is a popular street with a lot of flashy signboards. Osaka is widely known as a "Kuidaore-no-machi", or literally "drinking and eating luxuriously to death." Osaka Castle was built by Toyotomi HIDEYOSHI in 1585. Oh, it's my residence, isn't it ! These days "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter" area in USJ, or Universal Studios Japan, is also attracting more and more people. I'll be looking forward to seeing you !!
Keiji M.
Hello everyone. My name is Keiji living in Okayama. Okayama is located halfway between Hiroshima and Osaka. Nowadays a lot of people are attracted by Naoshima that is a small island famous for Art and Architecture. Okayama is the entrance to the island therefore I often show international guests around Naoshima. Okayama itself has many tourist attractions such as Kurashiki famous for Bikan historical quarter, Korakuen garden, Okayama castle and so on. If you'd like to include Hiroshima or Osaka on your plan, I can show you round them as these cities are in the distance of an hour train ride. I'm an easygoing and extrovert person. I'm always waiting for you to contact me..
