Hi I am Hiroshi, a national government licensed guide , living in Yokohama more than 30 years. I have been working as a tour guide since 2017. I was born in Kita-Kyusyu which is in the north side of Kyusyu island and studied at an university in Tokyo and Kanagawa. After graduate from the university, I joined to a very well known electronics company and worked there about 30 years. During my business career, I had opportunity to live in United States; New York, Philadelphia and Puerto Rico, about 8 years. Addition to that, I visited more than 30 countries in Asia, Middle East, Europe, South and North America, and Oceania. Through the overseas experience I recognized difference of cultures in regions in the world. It means I can communicate with clients from all over the world. At the same time, I learned that the general recognition about Japan was from industries aspect not from culture or historical aspect. I like Japanese history very much but while staying in abroad, I found that Japanese were not properly recognized. Because of that I started to study Japanese history more than ever and still I am reading books and attending seminars to deepen my knowledge about Japanese history and culture. At the same time, recently I am learning nature in various seasons. I believe my knowledge and experience amplify enjoyment of clients' interest while being in Japan. My main territory is Tokyo, Yokohama, Kamakura and Hakone. And addition to that, I have experience to guide in Kyoto, Hiroshima and Nikko. In 2022, I was certified as English speaking Adventure Travel guide by Hakone DMO which is a subsidiary of Hakone local government. To be certified, I spent almost 150 hours for studying, walking in Hakone and making presentation. Through this experience, I become more familiar to Hakone including people, history and nature. Addition to this certificate, I took a program for Wildness First Aid and Leave no trace trainer course. With above things, I have confident than ever in conducting my tour not only from knowledge aspect but also from security aspect, too. Please join to my tour to maximize your enjoyment. I am waiting for your visit to my beautiful country. - National government licensed tour guide( English) - Certified Domestic itinerary control manager - Certified English Speaking Adventure Travel guide in Hakone - Certified Wilderness First Aid by Wilderness Medical Associate - Leave no Trace trainer Due to the restriction of Japanese law, I can not drive while guiding
