Hi, I'm Hiroko. Thank you very much for choosing my tour. I've been working as a licensed guide since 2008. I guide mainly for private or small groups (6 travelers) for Kyoto, Osaka, Nara, Koyasan, Himeji, Hiroshima(including Miyajima), Naoshima and Teshima islands, Adachi Museum of Art. You can see not only the famous sightseeing spots but not often shown in the guide book. I'm personally interested in the art, modern art and architecture. If you have the same preferences, please let me know. Let's explore the local towns with me! If you have a preference, feel free to ask me before finalizing the tour. -IMPORTANT- I don't take cruise ship passengers based on my business policy. Please find another guide. Thank you for understanding. Guide License No.EN00760 since 2008 *Guide-interpreters without special qualification must not drive a car or a bus for tourists. *The Travel Agency Act prohibits including travel costs (meals, transportation and admission fees) in guide-interpreting fees. *Insurance is not included.

Overview of your Osaka tour

The tour covers many attractions of Nara, the oldest capital of Japan 1300 years ago, including the famous Nara Park where Sika deer live. Come and see them in person in this enchanting and relaxing atmosphere. Tour price costs per group, not per person. "Estimated Local Cash Needed" costs per person, not per group except for taxi fare. I can meet you at your hotel lobby (except for Airbnb). Please prepare JPY in cash and to remove your shoes at entrance in Japanese buildings.

Die private Tour mit Hiroko ist empfehlenswert! Sie ist es freundlich, kommunikativ und kompetent. Wir hatte auch lustige Momente. Hat uns vom Hotel abgeholt und zurückgebracht. Sehr nette Tour! Liebe Grüße Manfred

Our guide was great! She met us at the hotel in Osaka and we took a train to Nara for the day. She was able to cater the day's schedule to our needs. We traveled with our 5 year old and it was great. She shared a lot of history and details about Japan and their culture. Would highly recommend her for custom, private tour.

Excellent tour! Hiroko is very personable and knowledgeable. Nara is worth visiting and Hiroko is the perfect guide to do it with.

Hiroko guided us on 4 tours: East, West, & Central Kyoto & Nara. Hiroko is a GOOD guide. She arrived ready & on time. She willingly responded to customization requests. She had advanced English skills & was friendly. Moreover, we enjoyed that she constantly shared details on living in Japan. She often addressed us 1 on 1 instead of as a group whereas it would have been better to huddle us before providing facts about the sight. Additionally, stories, instead of just facts, would have enriched the tours.

Hiroko is one of the kindest guides we have ever worked with. We went to Nara, and the love and kindness she showed towards all animals, especially the deer, was very endearing. Her English is excellent and her knowledge of the area is exceptional. We truly enjoyed our tour of Nara and highly recommend her.

Hiroko is a wonderful guide. She picked us up from our hotel and took us to Nara for the day. She is a wealth of knowledge sharing little tid-bits along the way. She made the day so much for our 11yr old son. Her English is perfect. What a wonderful day. I highly recommend Hiroko.
