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
In Kyoto, four seasons vividly change; surrounded by middle-sized mountains the old capital is no short of seasonal attractions such as blooming of cherry blossoms, plum, peony, wisteria, water-lily, lotus, and all red autumn color - along with long-established big festivals: Aoi, Gion, and Jidai, adding many other Shinto ceremonies or Buddhist rituals. Even in its sultry summer of Kyoto, man-made beauties at Gion festival: the procession of gigantic floats decorated with intricate pieces of embroidery and paper-lanterns accompanied by the music of the many festival bands flourish! I will select the best places from top 15 spots in Kyoto-suited to the season or events of your trip-date. So this tour would consist of from 4 to 6 famous destinations of Kyoto during 8-hour trip. They are mainly World Heritage sites of UNESCO. I would provide a memorable one-day-tour in Kyoto for especially the first-time-visit customer. The following two itineraries are tipical ones for high-seasons of spring and autumm.
