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 !!

Hi, I'm Ritsuko. I started guiding for tourists as a local volunteer guide and has been serving as a national certified guide since 2014. I really like meeting people from around the world. Nothing is more fun and valuable than listening to them and sharing views and thoughts. I was born and raised in Shimane. I lived in other cities in Japan and abroad for my career and study. Shimane's abundant natural beauty brought me back here, then I started working as a guide. In my earlier career, I had served as a speech and communication therapist at hospitals for 11 years. I provided individual rehabilitation programs for patients who has various language problems and needs. I have met a lot of people in different generations. Personality, interest and background are different from people to people. Through my career, I have acquired skills to catch what he or she needs and provided suitable service for them. My current clients are happy with my smile, attentiveness and easy-to-understand guide. In my tour, you can not only go to spots and learn history and culture, but you have a lot of opportunity to experience such as climbing up a high light house, choosing your favorite Japanese sweets for matcha green tea, meditation in an old temple, etc. So, ask me if you have a plan to visit Japan. I will help you enjoy every minute of your stay in Japan. I hope to see you soon!

Hello, I am Kazu, an English tourist guide certified by government. I have been guiding foreign tourists in Tottori for several years since I retired. I am also serving as a volunteer medical interpreter and doing cultural exchanges with people from overseas. I was born in Tottori but had been away from here for a long time. I began travelling abroad when I was 21. Since then I have visited many countries for business and pleasure including Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, America and Russia. Belgium, Italy and U.S.A are the countries where I used to live for business and UK for learning English. I really enjoyed and am enjoying travelling. Above all, I like meeting people from various countries. If you are interested in visiting a small town of Japan, I personally suggest you include Tottori in your itinerary. I am glad to guide you the picturesque views of Tottori along with seasonal fresh foods from sea and land. One of my recommendation is Tottori Sand Dunes & San-in Kaigan Geopark sea coast. Shall we explore the beauty of the nature in Tottori together? I can arrange your itinerary according to your request. I will try my best to make your stay in Tottori safe, special and memorable. I am very much looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you.

Osaka Castle and Umeda Sky Building

I loved my tour of Osaka castle and the Umeda Sky building. Michiko picked me up from my hotel to avoid me getting lost and gave guidance on airport transfers for my day of departure regarding what rail platform and station to use also. Towards my tour end she dropped me off in Dotonbori since I wanted to visit that area and she recommended some local restaurants. Highly recommend Michiko for your tour guide needs.

Great Time

Kiroyuki was so knowledgeable about the area and gave us historical background on everything. He listened to what we were wanting to experience and made sure he provided it for us. He was very patient and considerate with my health conditions as well. He went above and beyond by helping us navigate the trains and cab. He helped us purchase train cards and download the best app to get cabs. He spoke really good English and was familiar with American customs. We had an amazing time thanks to him.

Fantastic Day with Sho

Thanks to Sho my travel companion had a great full day tour of Nagasaki. He met her at the cruise terminal and they were off on a jam packed sightseeing adventure. Sho’s English is excellent so there were no communication issues. He is a thoughtful, engaging young man who wants to ensure you have a great experience in Nagasaki. I had to miss the tour due to illness and Sho prayed for my health at one of the shrines…. how kind was that! You will not regret spending the day with Sho and a tour with him is money well spent.
