Tour guide in Kyoto Hiroki (הירוקי)

Konnichiwa and welcome to Kyoto! Currently my availability on the calendar is not accurate due to system error. Please feel free to check my availability and even the price negotiation by message. I am Japanese guy currently living in Kyoto. While a student studying international business management, I spent time in Shiga, near Nagoya and Kyoto and a short study abroad experience in Australia, UK and Israel. Having lived and worked in 7 cities, 3 countries and traveled to 45 countries, After working in Israel and Ireland, I came back to Japan in 2019. I enjoy meeting tour guests from all over the world. I am still now to TourByLocal as I have been mostly working through another platform. Through my tours, my goal is to make my guests want to come back to Japan again and to recommend them to their friends. I believe that my mission is to efficiently guide you through the cities I love in a limited amount of time through my unique perspective. Let me focus on Kyoto even I do offer tour in Osaka, Nara, Himeji, Kobe, Tokyo, Hiroshima and Nagoya. Not to generalize, but Kyoto people long history of being the base of culture, religion, and political power, the people are quite reserved outside the main tourist areas. Throughout my time visiting, studying when I was college student and touring Kyoto, I’ve found that sometimes the simplest of restaurants create my best experiences. From Kyoto’s thousand years of being the home of royalty, aristocracy, religious and political leaders, respecting time while eating appears to me a key to enjoying and being surprised by the food. From a lovely older couple who run their Michelin starred Soba noodle restaurant owners who focus off the quality of their customers’ experience as much as they do their award-winning broth dishes. soba with special broth, aroma deep flavor you will remember cozy, family owned, intimate and small. To the fun okonomiyaki, a kind of vegetable pancake that is mostly popular in Osaka, but Kyoto has its own take and again the smallest the shops the more special the experience and food. The staff at my favorite okonomiyaki shop really respect the customers and their time in their shop. Their approach is to make their okonomiyaki fluffy and light, much like the best French omelets, and which is served on a hot plate. I always try my best to get prepared for you to enjoy your visit to my home country. I just got national tour conductor license. I'm constantly learning to be able to provide an enriching experience. If we come across some questions I cannot answer right away, I will be happy to do some research and get back with a full answer.
