About Tour Guide Tatsuhiro N.

It took me some 20 years to be qualified for this job and I feel honored for being able to help tourists from abroad understand our nation and culture. Japan is a beautiful country with a long history, tradition and rich cultural heritages, having various features in each of the four distinct seasons. Although there are now many visitors from abroad, mainly from Asian countries, they are mostly interested in shopping taking advantage of cheaper yen rather than understanding our people and culture. Kyoto and Nara are the two cities best known by foreign tourists, but not all the aspects of Japanese culture are concentrated there. If you visit the countryside other than these two cities, you will never fail to see the beautiful natural surroundings and people who will warmly welcome you. I wish to work as the bridge between Japanese people and tourists from all over the world.

Important

I would like at least 7 days notice before a booking.

Kind and knowledgeable guide for our day in Kyoto

Hiro-san expertly guided my son and I on a day tour of Kyoto. Hiro met us promptly as promised and kindly provided a sun umbrella for the hot day. He expertly guided us around Kyoto using walking and public transportation, making us feel like locals. Hiro has a very kind manner and was very patient with us, allowing to make changes during the day as needed. He also brought along fun photo props for our day, and promptly sent us photos of us that he had taken. Kyoto is a beautiful city and we look forward to returning!

Hi Jasmine-san, James-san & Sarai-san, Thank you very much for your heart-warming comment on my work. I am really glad you enjoyed visiting the three main attractions of Kyoto to enhance your knowledge of our history and culture. I also enjoyed talking with you about the wild animals in California like deer and wild boars. Many thanks for treating me to the delicious lunch, too. Good luck. Regards, Hiro

Nara & Osaka Tour

Hiro took us on an unforgettable journey to Nara, where we marveled at the deer and enjoyed a beautiful morning. For lunch, he guided us to a wonderful spot near Nara. Later, we explored Osaka and admired the stunning architecture of Osaka Castle. Hiro's expert guidance concluded with dropping us off at our dinner destination, completing a perfect day of sightseeing.

Hi Jasmine-san, James-san & Sarai-san, Many thanks for your favorable comment. I am glad you enjoyed visiting the Nara Park, spending a happy time mixing with the tame deer despite the chilly rain. You must have been amazed at seeing the Great Buddha at Todaiji temple, which has been treasured since the ancient days and the focus of our Buddhist culture. Wishing you all an eternal happiness. Regards, Hiro
