I'm Hiroko K., your private tour guide in Kyoto

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.
