Hello, I am Akihiro, I have been working for a Japan-based multi-national company for nearly 3 decades as a chief of foreign trade, with business partners and friends all over the world. Then I established my own office majoring in tourism (using the certificate of “National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter”) and a private guest house. Having been living in Osaka for nearly 30 years, I am very familiar with almost all the scenic spots in Kansai (Kyoto, Osaka, Nara, Kobe & Himeji). I never feel exhausted when showing my guests around the attractive spots near the area of my house, treating all the guests as just my family members, chatting and drinking or eating a lot with you. By the way, I ever lived in Kanazawa for 3 years, as a post graduate student in Kanazawa University. So, I am also a competent guide for sightseeing in small and medium-sized cities along the Sea of Japan i.e. Kanazawa, Toyama & Fukui, etc. I own a luxury car to take you around cities. Please feel free to ask me if you prefer to use a private car during your tour instead of walking tours. I'd be happy to make your stay enjoyable and memorable in Japan. I'm looking forward to spending time with you and making a lot of great memories. I would be more than happy to accommodate your ideal itinerary. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or requests. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you!
