Guide #3968
Hi, I'm Hiroko. Thank you very much for choosing my tour. I've been working as a licensed guide since 2008. I guide mainly for private or small groups (6 travelers) for Kyoto, Osaka, Nara, Koyasan, Himeji, Hiroshima(including Miyajima), Naoshima and Teshima islands, Adachi Museum of Art. You can see not only the famous sightseeing spots but not often shown in the guide book. I'm personally interested in the art, modern art and architecture. If you have the same preferences, please let me know. Let's explore the local towns with me! If you have a preference, feel free to ask me before finalizing the tour. -IMPORTANT- I don't take cruise ship passengers based on my business policy. Please find another guide. Thank you for understanding.

Hiroko K was a wonderful tour guide! She was incredibly friendly and kind. She helped tailor the tour to our interests. She knew the best places to eat and shop for souvenirs. I enjoyed the way she chose to have us use public transportation as well. She was able to share lots of history and interesting stories while on the tour. We recommend this tour with Hiroko K.
