Experience the best of
Nara with Withlocals

"Hiroyuki was such an amazing tour guide! Full of passion for his home and my friend and I just overall enjoyed chatting with him"

"Hiroyuki went above and beyond to make our tour wonderful. I would use him again in a minute and recommend him to everyone."

"Hiro was a wonderful host. He filled the full 3 hours and I was thoroughly impressed. Friendly, knowledgeable. There’s really not much more I could ask for. He treated us to a sake tasting at the end to see how it compared to the sake we had a day before. The spot was SUPER local and I would have never found it by myself. At the end he recommended a great local spot for our dinner and it did not disappoint."

"Hiro was a fantastic guide! We happened to visit Nara during the biggest festival of the year. Hiro took us on a walking tour through the major sites, explained the history, and we also caught the parade. Nara has a charming, small town feel to it. Hiro was fantastic with my three kids and very accommodating, helping us store our luggage as we dropped in for a day trip. Certainly one of the top highlights of our trip; we full-heartedly recommend Hiro's tour."

"Hiro was a super nice guide, who told us a lot about the history of Nara (but not to much). He biked with us to not crowdy but beautiful places and showed us all the „must see places“ too. We can recommend Hiro to all people who want to have a chilly, beautiful and very good planed day with a local Nara guy, with who you can also drink few sake glasses."

"Thanks so much for the fabulous private tour! Hiroyuki went out of his way to accommodate our needs! Super friendly, knowledgeable, and wonderful guide! I highly recommend him :)"

"Thank Hiro for an enjoyable afternoon. While we didn’t have a lot of time, you helped to make it the best, from Sakura, the temple, and deer. Very kind and attentive to our needs."

"My family of four are very grateful to have met Hiro and spent a few hours with him in Nara. We enjoyed learning about his family's long history in Nara, riding his bicycles, and visiting beautiful sites and meeting many of the local deer. We happened to be in Nara during the Omituzori festival, so Hiro was kind enough to help us find a good spot to view the torch displays as the crowds began to build several hours before the ceremonies began. An hour or so later, I was surprised to receive a message from Hiro asking me to turn around because he had brought us snacks. I did, and saw him a good distance away (we were quite deep in the crowd) next to a police officer. I sent my son over to him and he gave us a bag of snacks, explaining that he has a teenager and knows how hungry they get, especially when they are just waiting around. Hiro was a great pleasure to spend time with and we highly recommend his tours! "

"My husband and I took a walking tour around Nara with Hiro and really enjoyed it. His family are from Nara and he shared their history and traditions, bringing the place to life for us in a way that could only be done with a local. It was not just enjoyable finding out about beautiful Nara, but also learning a bit more about Hiro as well. We had a great time with him and would thoroughly recommend the experience. "
