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.

Once again Hiroko’s communication and local knowledge was invaluable when it came to positioning ourselves when queuing etc. Hiroko’s passion and knowledge in regard to the history and folklore of this sacred and beautiful site was on show and made the tour a very enjoyable and...

Hiroko met us in the reception area of our hotel and impressed us immediately when she pointed out the novelty clock on the wall, which we had walked past numerous times and failed to notice. The tour was undertaken at a pace that was tailored to suit our age with clear communication and instructions on our modes of transport and destinations. Hiroki’s knowledge of our...

She asked us questions that not only made us reflect on the...
