“Custom private guide”
Yuri was awesome! She reached out before our arrival to check our interests and tailored a tour just for us. We wanted to check out several Temples and Shrines and that is what we got. Yuri provided us with information about what we were seeing so we could understand the meaning. It was a great day Thanks so much!

Hello Michelle, Thank you very much for sending me such a generous review. I hope that your family enjoyed the tour in Kyoto. I was happy to be your guide. I really appreciate it if you could come again in near future to visit Japan. All the best, Yuri
“Perfect Combination of Heritage Sites and Gardens”
We had a very enjoyable day with Yuri who took us to the main sites we wanted to visit - The Golden Temple, Ryoanji Temple (our favourite with Zen temple and rock gardens), walk through the amazing bamboo forest and ending with the Sanjusan-gendo temple with the 1001 buddhas. Very manageable on a very hot Kyoto day using buses, trains and taxis. Yuri was very informative and efficient. Would highly recommend.

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.
Hiroyuki T.
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.
