Tour guide in Kyoto Yoriko O.
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

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...

Yoriko was a wonderful, thoughtful guide. Her knowledge of Japanese history and the Buddhist traditions was impressive. We also had the pleasure of her guidance in Osaka. She made great suggestions for lunch each day. She helped plan our day and helped maximize our touring experience by suggesting a private car for our tour.
