I’ve lived in Kobe for 25 years
I speak some English
I am a tutor.
Hi, I’m Kayo! What I love most about Kobe is how tradition and modernity blend to create a unique atmosphere. From high-end Kobe beef to delicious local diners, the food culture here is amazing. I enjoy taking in the panoramic views from Kobe Herb Garden and strolling through the lively Motomachi shopping streets. I know the best kid-friendly spots in the city and the scenic viewpoints that locals love. Whether you're looking for great food, family-friendly attractions, or hidden gems, I’d love to show you around and share what makes Kobe so special!

My reviews

Hamu was an excellent host and guide, very motivated and eager to please, making it very easy to travel with little time and little knowledge of the language. Actually, I enjoyed everything; a trip to always remember.

Hamu was an excellent tour guide! Although I booked a short tour, we managed to cover a lot of ground and see everything I hoped for. Hamu also shared fantastic recommendations for things to explore on my own, which made my experience even better!

We would never have managed to do so much in such a short time had it not been for Manu. She organised everything around what we had suggested. She was most informative and gave us what was the best 4 hours we’ve had in Japan. Thank you Manu for a lovely experience.

Hamu was fabulous! Wonderful English and knows the area really well. She very much loves what she does as she has so much history and cultural knowledge of the area.
