Hello, I'm Toichi. Happy that you found me. Please call me Ichi, which means No. 1 in Japanese. You might be able to remember my name as 'itchy' Ichi. Born and bred in Osaka, the western center of Japan, I am honored to introduce you to this energetic, friendly city. I have traveled extensively around the globe, and I think one of the greatest pleasures of traveling is meeting new people who have different lifestyles and thinking. Let me connect you to the real Japan and to Japanese people. I'll show you how ordinary Japanese people live and think. I want your trip to be not only memorable but unforgettable. FOUR TOURS OFFERED 1. "Gems of Kyoto - Full Day Tour" 2. "Private Full Day Osaka Tour" 3. "Walking through the Old and the New Osaka in 6 hours" 4. "The Definitive Two Day Tour of Kyoto and Osaka with your very own private guide" I can also customize tours to Osaka, Kyoto, Nara or/and Kobe. I can even organize day trips outside to Koysan, Himeji Castle and Hiroshima. Your wish is my command. Let's go out and have fun together in Japan!

Overview of your Kyoto tour

This is a definitive four days-tour of Kansai region. We'll spend two days in Kyoto, exploring two different popular and distinct areas. Then we will visit Osaka. It is a vibrant, industrial city, completely different from Kyoto. This largest city in western Japan is also a great place to shop and to eat. Finally, we go to Nara, the oldest capital city of Japan. Unlike Kyoto, it's a quiet, relaxed town where deer and Grear Buddha will welcome you. You can take a part of this tour(Osaka and Nara, Kyoto and Nara, and two full days in Kyoto etc), and I am also glad to customerize the tour and include some of the places you would like to go. Also, I can start the tour from Osaka or Tempozan Osaka port terminal.
