Hi, I’m Hiromi
Hi, I’m Hiromi
I’ve lived in Kobe for 32 years
I speak English, Japanese
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!

She graciously tailored the day to our interests, and we appreciated her flexibilty in meeting us at the cruise terminal. Her selection of the Kobe beef restaurant was perfect

We had a great time with our guide Hiromi. She was assigned to us by the provider used by Nick. We discussed in advance what we wanted to do and she had checked it out to make sure she could properly guide us. She was very personable, engaging and informative. We thoroughly enjoyed our day with her
