I am tour guide
Hello, my name is Hiromi, a licensed tour guide. I have spent almost all my life in the Kobe area. It is one of the major cosmopolitan cities with both mountains and sea nearby. It’s my great pleasure to show you around my beloved city Kobe. Also, Kobe is close to Kyoto and Osaka, and so I’ve guided foreign visitors around and enjoyed the different characteristics of each city together. In addition, I teach Japanese to foreign residents and university students. If you have any interest in the Japanese language, feel free to talk and ask. I am looking forward to making your time a more memorable one. I hope to meet you soon!

We had an absolutely fantastic day exploring the city of Kobe with our guide, Hiromi. From start to finish, she made the experience incredibly informative, engaging, and enjoyable. Her deep knowledge of the city’s history, culture, and hidden gems truly enriched our visit, and she shared everything with such enthusiasm and warmth. Not only was she exceptionally well-prepared, but she also made us feel completely at ease, ensuring that we had a seamless and memorable experience. Her passion for guiding and her attention to detail were evident throughout the entire tour. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide! If you’re planning a visit to Kobe, we highly recommend Hiromi—she will make your trip truly special. Thank you, Hiromi, for an unforgettable day
