Native Kochi Guide | Private Tours in Luxury Minivan Biography: Hello! I’m Hiroshi, a government-licensed guide born and raised in Kochi. After spending years living in Tokyo and the United States, I returned to my hometown to share the authentic side of Japan that guidebooks often miss. My philosophy is simple: The best tours feel like exploring with a local friend. I don’t just recite dates and facts; I share the human stories behind Kochi’s history, culture, and nature. Whether you are interested in Samurai history (Sakamoto Ryoma), hidden temples, or local cuisine, I tailor every trip to your interests. Why tour with me? Comfortable Private Transport: I provide a premium minivan (Toyota Alphard) for our tours. This ensures a stress-free experience, allowing us to visit hidden spots efficiently—perfect for cruise ship passengers or travelers with limited time. Complimentary Photo Service: Photography is my hobby, and I enjoy capturing memories for my guests. I bring my DSLR camera to take high-quality photos of you during the tour and share the album as a free gift. You can simply enjoy the sights! True Hospitality: In addition to guiding, I own a private seaside villa ("Villa Urara"), giving me a deep understanding of what international guests need for a comfortable stay. I look forward to welcoming you to Kochi and making this the highlight of your Japan trip!

We had a 16 year old in tow, who was struggling with heat...

July 2026Thank you so much for this wonderful review, it really means a lot to me. I still remember your son's face at the samurai house, that reaction is exactly why I love keeping that stop a surprise, and thank you for keeping the secret in your review too! I also really enjoyed our conversations throughout the day, and getting to chat with your son along the way. Thank you...

Hiroshi was a fantastic guide. Not only did we get to explore Kochi, learn about its history, and make Japanese paper (one of the highlights of our trip), we unexpectedly received dozens of photos of our day in Kochi from Hiroshi at the end of the day that are absolutely fantastic. Highly recommend Hiroshi! Car: very spacious and clean minivan English: best of our trip...
