Hi, My name is Hisahi. Since I obtained the national license as a proffesional tour guide in 2017, I have guided foreign customers mainly at Kyoto, Nara, and Osaka! By using my expertise on Japanese literature, history and ceramics I can show you deep and distinctive local things of Kansai region. Since I was a little child, visual art has been one of my great interests. Western painters were the main source for my own paintings and drawings. But it was not until I met with Japanese and Chinese classics at college that I found and understood the beauty of the Japanese art! As an earnest amateur scholar but proffesional guide, the great joy of mine lies in discovering the beauties of Japan: nature, traditions, life, and people with my customers! Most of my time has been devoted to searching for the pleasure of especially foreign-tourists and visitors as a licensed guide, and so I wil add more valued moments to your stay in Japan! Supplements: bike rider on cross country bike and road bike. book reader on mysteries. World traveler visited over 20 major cities across the world. I am very looking forward to seeing my guests from abroad here in Japan! Thank you!!! Majored in Japanese and Chinese literature at college. Went to ceramic art school for two-year to study and make traditional ceramic ware.

Overview of your Kyoto tour
I always want to make my tour unforgettable to the guests whether the weather is good or not. So l selected all time impressive sites in Kyoto, which are iconic and important in terms of not only their visual values but also spiritual and religious ones. At the Fushimi Inari you climb Mt. Inari through its tunnel of thousands vermillion torii gates. Because the whole mountain is Shinto's sacred area and there are numerous fox stone statutes along the paths. They are god messengers. But we go back to the front torii gate for next site after getting to its turn-back. At second place we stroll in the best preserved old street of Kyoto which is for pilgrimages to Kiyomizu temple: UNESCO World Heritage site. The ancient capital can provide its rich and cultural experience of Old Japan for you. i. e, tea ceremony or zen meditation at a Buddhist temple as an optional activity. Around noon we proceed to Gion district famous for geisha and its traditional entertainment, and downtown of Kyoto.
