About Tour Guide Akira F.

“Day in Osaka! Learning made easy with Akira! ”

We had such a fun time with Akira during our 3 days (Kyoto, Nara & Osaka) and would most definitely recommend him. Akira explained the differences about shrines and temples and their rituals in a way that was easy to understand and made our visit feel much more meaningful. He also shared such a lot of interesting information about Japanese culture and everyday behaviour. He thoroughly explained the fascinating history of Osaka Castle without overcomplicating it for us. We really appreciated being driven around Kyoto and Osaka in the comfort of his car. He was very kind and thoughtful in adapting to our needs. Akira took such great care of us, even offering invaluable help with our ongoing travels around Japan. His food recommendations were fab as I’m a ‘picky eater’. One of the best tour guides we have ever experienced worldwide! He made us feel very special. Thank you so much Akira! We highly recommend you!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I truly enjoyed the three days we spent together, and I feel that our journey became a meaningful learning experience for all of us. Kyoto and Nara offered you so much history and inspiration, and the final day in Osaka was especially memorable. We shared joyful moments, visited Osaka’s oldest temple, tasted your first traditional okonomiyaki, and experienced the warmth, humor, and energy of the people of Osaka. I hope you will always remember Osaka—and also remember Akira—and that these memories will stay with you for a long time. I sincerely look forward to the chance to meet you again in Japan someday. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Regards Akira! Arigatougozaimasu!

“Highlight of our trip so far!”

One of the best tours we have ever done. Akira brings history to life with his fantastic knowledge, energy and passion. He knows just where to take the most awesome photos and cleverly kept us ahead of the crowds. He videoed us feeding the bowing deer of Nara… In a word…. SPECTACULAR! Thank you Akira!

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share the joy of Nara with you, to introduce its friendly deer, and to present the charm of Japan’s most ancient capital. We learned a lot, enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, and spent delightful moments with the deer together. I truly hope that, through my guidance, Nara has left a special and lasting impression on you both. I would be very happy to welcome you back to experience the beauty of this city again. Thank you!

“Best tour guide in Kyoto!”

Akira was an incredible tour guide, very professional but so warm and accommodating, with a lovely sense of humour. He made us feel very welcome and at ease. His superb historical knowledge of Japan and the Emperor and Samurai brought Kyoto alive for us. We were totally enthralled for 8 hours. He is just simply the best! Totally and unreservedly recommend! You won’t be disappointed!
