Hi! My name is Yoriko. I was born and brought up in Osaka in Japan. Now I have a family with my husband, one son and one daughter. I have an experience to live in New York for 4 years, which gave me a chance to see Japan from outside. I want to give overseas guests correct information on Japanese history and culture with best hospitality, which can be obtained only by a national licensed tour guide. Now I am ready to welcome you to Japan and show you around many of wonderful places in Kansai Area including Osaka, Kyoto, Nara and Kobe. Working 10 years as a tour guide, I have found each person has his/her own interest, pace of the tour, passion for shopping and so on. Some people want to experience the traditional Japan, and others want to see the modern scene of Japan. I am always trying to meet your personal request, so that you can bring wonderful memory of Japan back to your home country. Please come to Japan and enjoy a wonderful day with your tour guide! ・National guide license ・License for teaching English at junior/senior high school

    Yoriko-san was so knowledgeable and accommodating. My mom has physical limitations and Yoriko-san made sure we took accessible routes and planned ahead for these. Our driver was very accommodating and knowledgeable as well. Yoriko-san fielded our many questions and we all had an enjoyable time together. She really went above and beyond to make sure we were not lost going...

    Yoriko was a great guide. She was very knowledgable and her insights definitely made our trip to Nara a great time. We had three generations doing the tour, myself, my daughter and my granddaughter. She made the tour a delight for each generation. We were doing a day trip from Kyoto and Yoriko got us tickets on the Kintetsu train going to and from Kyoto. We were in the...

    Dear Greg, Thank you so much for your wonderful comments. It is my great pleasure to be able to serve you on your last day in Japan. I also enjoyed your company. Your suggestion to use AONIYOSHI made everyone happy as a way back to Nara to Kyoto. Thank you again for visiting us in this lovely season. With a lot of love to you all, Yoriko
