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 !!

Hello everyone. My name is Keiji living in Okayama. Okayama is located halfway between Hiroshima and Osaka. Nowadays a lot of people are attracted by Naoshima that is a small island famous for Art and Architecture. Okayama is the entrance to the island therefore I often show international guests around Naoshima. Okayama itself has many tourist attractions such as Kurashiki famous for Bikan historical quarter, Korakuen garden, Okayama castle and so on. If you'd like to include Hiroshima or Osaka on your plan, I can show you round them as these cities are in the distance of an hour train ride. I'm an easygoing and extrovert person. I'm always waiting for you to contact me..

Hello, my future guests. My name is Kosuke. I have lived in Kochi for 62 years with my wife and two daughters. I used to work at high schools as an English teacher. I chose the job because I like telling the students about the joy of communicating with foreign people. Now I'm very happy, because I can work for foreign visitors as a licensed guide. As I know Kochi very well, I can show you various nature, traditional culture, local foods and so on. In every place you visit, I’ll explain how local people live there, because I have lots of acquaintances who want to tell the good points of their neighborhoods. When you join my tours, I’ll try to customize them to suit what you call for as a traveler. And I am confident I can entertain you in various ways. So click me if you like. I'm looking forward to meeting you soon.

Fantastic Tour Guide!

Oskar was exactly what I was looking for. His knowledge of the major sites and the local culture in general were a huge plus, as were his translation skills for this non-Spanish speaker. And, he's a really nice guy as well! I won't hesitate to hire him again on my next trip to Mexico City.

An extraordinary day far away in the mountain!

What a day this was. I am really not sure I will share many pictures, it is a place to visit with Kazu. Kazu has been a wonderful guide in this beautiful and unusual place. A lot to see plus a wonderful tofu based lunch in the village, we had a blast that day! Plan to be ready to walk a bit as the cemetery must be discovered by foot. Thanks again Kazu for these days in Osaka and around!

A wonderful time in Osaka

We spent a day with Kazu in Osaka and that was a wonderful time. Between old and recent history, a moment to have fun (A great time at the arcade) and so many discussions on so many topics! I probably also will remember the incredible coffee place!

Great experience, knowledgeable guide

We hired Keiko for a 2 day tour of Tokyo. She was prompt on both days and showed us many of the typical Tokyo sights. Her English was also very good and easily understood. She helped us navigate the subway system with no problems. We would definitely recommend her for other tourists.
