Hi, My name is Hisahi. Since I obtained the national license as a proffesional tour guide in 2017, I have guided foreign customers mainly at Kyoto, Nara, and Osaka! By using my expertise on Japanese literature, history and ceramics I can show you deep and distinctive local things of Kansai region. Since I was a little child, visual art has been one of my great interests. Western painters were the main source for my own paintings and drawings. But it was not until I met with Japanese and Chinese classics at college that I found and understood the beauty of the Japanese art! As an earnest amateur scholar but proffesional guide, the great joy of mine lies in discovering the beauties of Japan: nature, traditions, life, and people with my customers! Most of my time has been devoted to searching for the pleasure of especially foreign-tourists and visitors as a licensed guide, and so I wil add more valued moments to your stay in Japan! Supplements: bike rider on cross country bike and road bike. book reader on mysteries. World traveler visited over 20 major cities across the world. I am very looking forward to seeing my guests from abroad here in Japan! Thank you!!! Majored in Japanese and Chinese literature at college. Went to ceramic art school for two-year to study and make traditional ceramic ware.

A really excellent tour tailored to our needs. We covered a lot of sites and Hisashi made them all interesting with facts and information.
