About Tour Guide Kotoyo I.
Hi! My name is Kotoyo — please call me Koto.
I’m originally from the countryside of Kyoto, and now I live in Kobe.
I have always loved learning English and discovering different cultures. I studied abroad and traveled overseas, and when my international friends visited Japan, I enjoyed showing them around so much that I decided to become a tour guide.
I am currently a Japanese language teacher, so I can also teach you real, natural Japanese during our tour.
In Kobe, I can take you to local food spots, hidden cafes, cultural places, or any place you would like to visit. I’m happy to customize the tour based on your interests.
I love sharing not only famous sightseeing spots but also everyday Japanese life.
If you are interested in Japanese culture, food, or even trying small cultural experiences like origami, I would be happy to share that with you too.
Let’s explore Japan together in a fun and relaxed way! I’m really looking forward to meeting you!
Important
I am available from morning until late afternoon, and evening tours are also possible. Please feel free to contact me to discuss your schedule.

Kyoko K.
Hi, I’m Kyoko. I was born and raised in Kobe. After completing my education, I spent 25 years in London, where I taught piano and enjoyed a wonderful life in England. I returned to Kobe a couple of years ago to care for my elderly father and began a new chapter in my career as a tour guide. Kobe has recovered beautifully since the major earthquake 30 years ago. It is much quieter than Kyoto and Osaka, making it a perfect place to relax and enjoy your time in Japan. I would love to show you the beautiful scenery of Kobe, from its mountains to its seaside. My typical tour starts at the herb gardens on the mountaintop, continues through the city center and Chinatown, and finishes at Harborland, a famous spot for photos and stunning views. It would be my pleasure to help you create wonderful memories in Kobe. I look forward to welcoming you on my tour.
