About Tour Guide Akira M.

Hello ! My name is Akira, but please call me Aki. I am a national licensed tour guide in English. I am specialized in Kyoto, Osaka, Nara, Kobe and Hiroshima. When you have a plan to visit those area, please contact me. In those area, you can find a traditional and cultural Japan. I will guide you wherever you would like to visit and you can enjoy Japan with me for sure.

I worked for an export company for more than 30years and met many people from overseas who were interested in Japanese culture, history and buildings. So after I retired, I decided to become a tour guide.

Please let me know what and where you are interested in so that I can arrange it for you, and make your itinerary which you will be satisfied with.

In my spare time, my hobby is Japanese martial art Aikido (black belt 2nd grade).

If you are interested in Japanese martial art, I am pleased to talk about it with you.

Looking forward to your inquiry.

Thank you so much for reading my introduction, and I look forward to sharing my country with you.


Important

If you pay extra 10000 yen (transportation fee ), I can also guide you in Hiroshima.

Nice and Accommodating Guide

We did a one day Kyoto trip with Akira-san. He was nice an accommodating from the start when I started discussing with him my itinerary. He speaks English well and conversing with him was a breeze. He met us at our hotel in Osaka and guided us all the way to Kyoto via train. We has an amazing time in Kyoto. Just manage your expectations as well. He may not be as forthcoming on the must-eat foods, or snacks you may want to buy, but he sure is a good guide that brings you to the key places that you want to go.

Very good tour in Nara

Akira was very helpful and professional. He knew Nara area very well and gave us plenty of insight for Temples and shrines. We spent half day together walking around and he was very flexible. His English was really good so we did not have any communication problems. I would recommend him as a tour guide.

The Best Tour Guide in Japan!

Akira is the best tour guide in Japan! He has a phenomenal knowledge of Kyoto and the areas he was able to show us. He is kind, caring, and considers all aspects of the tour and the wellbeing of those in his care. We were able to walk the bamboo forests of Arashiyma and the Golden Pavilion. Akira expertly navigated the Kyoto transportation system and knew exactly where he was going. Due to a medical emergency, we had to cut the tour short and were unable to see more sites. However, this is where Akira shined. He came with us to the hospital, acted as our guide and translator during our brief stay in the hospital, and then made sure we made it back to our hotel. He is 100% the best! My wife and I would come back to Japan just to spend time with this amazing person again!

Hello Rj Thank you so much for your nice review. I hope that you are feeling fine and no problem now. please come back to Japan again with your nice wife. Please enjoy Hakone and Tokyo and the rest of time in Japan. Thank you so much for choosing me as your guide. Akira
