Mino Fall Foliage Tour

Mino Park is gorgeous.
It is absolutely my favorite place in Japan.
We wish we had more time to explore other places in Osaka with Hiroki.

Himeji Discovery Tour

Tour was great! The Himeji Castle was great… but the favorite was the last samurai temple (engyoji) and the gardens were great too.

Mountain Hike on Fushimi Shrine

It was an excellent time. Hiro was accommodating and helpful in every moment, meeting my own interests and energy--didn't push me to do more, but supported me at my pace. Fushimi Inari Taisha is my favorite. I enjoyed the conversation. The hike was beautiful, but it was even better with someone knowledgeable to talk to.

Singapore Squad: Hiroki-led Adventure with 4 Couples

We were a group of 4 elderly couples from Singapore led by Hiroki for a customised tour to the Osaka Castle and Umeda Sky Building Observation Deck once we landed on the Osaka Port from our Cruise Ship. Hiroki was a caring and helpful guide who took care of our needs and ensure that we have an enjoyable time visiting the sites and having a good and delicious Japanese meal for our lunch within the limited time we had for our land tour.

Amazing Kyoto tour with Hiroki!

My husband and I had an absolutely wonderful experience taking a guided tour with Hiroki in January 2024, and it was one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. Hiroki is an incredibly kind, diligent and hospitable guide. His meticulous planning and dedication to the highest standards ensured that every aspect of our tour was seamless and memorable. Hiroki curated a thoughtful itinerary and we were amazed at how much we were able to experience in just one day. His deep knowledge and engaging explanations brought Kyoto’s history and cultural significance to life, giving us a deeper appreciation for everything we saw. What truly sets Hiroki apart is his genuine care for his guests and his ability to tailor the tour to create an unforgettable experience. Thanks to his expertise and attention to detail, we not only explored incredible locations but also gained meaningful insights that enriched the rest of our time in Japan. We are so grateful for Hiroki’s guidance and generosity, and we wholeheartedly recommend his tour to anyone visiting Kyoto or Osaka. Thank you, Hiroki, for making our trip so special—you’ve given us memories to treasure forever!

Amazing Hike on Mt. Inari

Hiroki was an amazing tour guide for myself and my son. He showed up early, was quick to introduce himself and very comfortable to speak with. He made sure to ask if we had any others areas we wanted to see besides our tour to Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine Hike. He gave us wonderful insight to the religious aspect and historical meanings of the shrine.The next time I would visit Kyoto or tue surrounding areas, I would for him to be my guide again.

A Wonderful Day in Nara with Our Amazing Guide, Hiroki!

Hiroki shared fascinating historical and local knowledge that deepened our appreciation of each stop. He was incredibly patient, and it was clear he takes great pride in making sure his guests feel welcome and informed. A delightful highlight at the end of our tour was a visit to a charming goldfish aquarium—a surprise we hadn’t expected, but one that added a unique and peaceful touch to our day. It was such a thoughtful addition that made the entire trip feel even more special.

Himeji and Himeji Castle

Hiroki Deguchi was an exceptional tour guide. My wife Gina and I really enjoyed his company and the professional manner he displayed throughout our tour of Himeji and the Himeji Castle.

This was one of our most enjoyable tours while visiting Japan.

Hiroki, in our opinion should not change a thing about the way he arranged our tour.
He's great.

He's pleasant and very knowledgeable when answering our questions.

Hiroki also helped us obtain our train tickets for the following morning after our tour. He is a wonderful man.

We would highly recommend Hiroki as a professional tour guide for Japan.

Kyoto Highlights Tour

My husband Steve and I were fortunate to have Hiro as our personal tour guide for Kyoto. He was prompt, prepared (we loved and appreciated the badges he provided for subway entrances), energetic, knowledgeable and very thoughtful. We especially liked that he was flexible with the tour in order to offer us additional choices.
Don't hesitate to book a tour with Hiro.

Amazing Tour to Nara

Hiroki planned such an incredible tour through Nara. He organized a craft workshop where we made our own brushes with a master. It was amazing, he translated everything on the fly since the lady barely spoke any English. It would have been almost impossible to organize on our own, and it would have been very intimidating, although she was very nice. We then walked around a lot, went to many different places of interests, everything was timed perfectly. He does the tour to Nara a lot, so he has a lot of experiences on how to handle the deer feeding as well, which was greatly appreciated! Thank you for the great day Hiroki!
