My nick name is Rick and Japanese name is Ryoichi. I was born and grew up in Kyoto. Kyoto has so many sightseeing spots based on its 1000 year history. I will propose you the "must see" spots from local eyes not only temples & shrines but also alternative side of Kyoto. As Kyoto certified English guide and National Government Licensed English guide, I will assist you with high hospitality for your satisfactory stay in Kyoto. 1. For the first visitors I will prepare the tour with selection out of the spots as Nijo-castle, Imperial Palace, Nishiki-market, Gion amusement quarter, Arashiyama area and some temples and shrines of World Cultural Heritage Sites based on your request and taste. 2. For the visitors who want to see more spots than regular tours I will prepare some unique tours like visiting Fushimi area for Sake brewery and riding classical boat, visiting some traditional handicrafts ateliers, enjoying traditional performing art, etc. Please make any inquiry for your preferred type of Kyoto guiding without hesitation. I would be happy to propose you with the type of tour that makes your visit in Kyoto unforgettable one.

Overview of your Osaka tour

First, this tour takes you to "Tower of the Sun museum" which was built at the time of EXPO 70 and was renewed in 2018 as a permanent facility. It is not just a tower, but it is a spectacular art space inside with "Tree of Life" created by Taro Okamoto, known as a great artist. Actually this tree shows the evolution of life from ameba to dinosaur to human being. Strongly recommended to see the inside of this tower as a hidden gem. Then you will visit highlights of Osaka as Osaka castle and Dotombori. With all visiting these spots, you will be filled with satisfaction.
