Kazuhiro from Kyoto– Author –
Based in Osaka. For many years, I have worked at the forefront of business at a major translation company, engaging with many clients from publicly listed companies as a sales representative.
I am currently involved in production work at a web marketing company, focusing on sharing information both domestically and internationally.
My family home is in Kyoto City, and I frequently return there on weekends with my two children. Making use of the environment surrounded by history and culture, I am working to convey the charm of Kyoto that can only be experienced here to people overseas.
I would be grateful if this site could serve as a reliable guide for those planning to visit Kyoto and lead to a deeper travel experience.
