Hi! My name is Yoriko. I was born and brought up in Osaka in Japan. Now I have a family with my husband, one son and one daughter. I have an experience to live in New York for 4 years, which gave me a chance to see Japan from outside. I want to give overseas guests correct information on Japanese history and culture with best hospitality, which can be obtained only by a national licensed tour guide. Now I am ready to welcome you to Japan and show you around many of wonderful places in Kansai Area including Osaka, Kyoto, Nara and Kobe. Working 10 years as a tour guide, I have found each person has his/her own interest, pace of the tour, passion for shopping and so on. Some people want to experience the traditional Japan, and others want to see the modern scene of Japan. I am always trying to meet your personal request, so that you can bring wonderful memory of Japan back to your home country. Please come to Japan and enjoy a wonderful day with your tour guide! ・National guide license ・License for teaching English at junior/senior high school

Overview of your Osaka tour
Let us visit southern part of Osaka. Sumiyoshi grand shrine is one of the oldest Shinto shrines in Japan, which was established in 211. You will be amazed at the beautiful arch-style bridge. This place is very enjoyable to walk around visiting sub shrines here and there. In neighboring Sakai city, we may also visit a museum of tea ceremony, where you can see the history of tea master Sen-no Rikyu and enjoy bowl of green tea (Maccha). If booked in advance, we will also have a chance to see how the blacksmith is working. (depending on the schedule of a blacksmith) Then we will come back to Namba area to enjoy lively street of Osaka. You will feel peaceful when we pour water on green moss-covered Buddhist statue at small Hozenji temple.
