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

We had three generations doing the tour, myself, my daughter and my granddaughter. She made the tour a delight for each generation.

    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

    Yoriko was a fantastic guide. Her english is great. She took care of arranging the car and driver as well. We spent a wonderful day in Kyoto seeing all the sights we wanted to see and more. As an experienced guide, she knows the most efficient routes to take and best photo spots. We went during Golden Week and she was amazing at navigating the crowds effectively. We did...
