I'm Yoriko O., your private tour guide in Kyoto
Guide #4010
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

September 2026Dear Ted and Linda, Thank you so much for your great comment. I am really glad that you have enjoyed a day with me. I also enjoyed your company.

Sincerely yours, Yoriko

The itinerary we followed was worked on via email between Yoriko and myself before we got to Kyoto. She made recommendations based on information provided on what type of tourism we enjoy and I was able to add those areas my research had highlighted.
