Our journey continues with a visit to Nigatsudo, a serene hall with stunning views over the city and Nara Park. Take a moment to relax and enjoy the tranquil surroundings.
We’ll then head to Kasuga Taisha, a UNESCO World Heritage site, where you can walk through its iconic vermillion-lantern-lined paths and learn about its rich history.
Finally, we’ll visit Sanjo Dori Street, where you can watch the traditional art of mochi making and enjoy this delicious Japanese treat.
As the day comes to an end, we’ll make our way back to Kobe port, ensuring you return on time to your cruise.

More about me
Hi! I’m Pere Ignasi, but you can call me Peri 😊. I’m a Spanish native who made Japan my home, and I’ve been sharing my passion for this incredible country as a tour guide for years!
I offer tours all over Kansai, but my heart belongs to Kobe and Osaka, two cities full of life, history, and amazing food 🍜! I speak English, Spanish, and Catalan, so you can feel comfortable exploring in your language.
My journey as a guide started when friends visited me in Japan. I loved showing them around, taking them to the best restaurants 🍣, and helping them discover hidden gems. That passion turned into my profession, and now I get to do what I love every day!
Whether you're into history 🏛️, food 🍡, pop culture 🎮, or off-the-beaten-path experiences 🌿, I’ll make sure your tour is tailored to your interests. Want to try new dishes? Explore ancient temples? Visit anime and gaming spots? I’m here to make it happen!
I also have years of experience working with kids, so if you're traveling as a family, I’ll design fun and engaging activities that everyone, adults and children alike, will enjoy.
The best part of my job? Meeting people from all over the world 🌎, sharing stories, and creating unforgettable memories. I’m very talkative, so get ready for a fun and lively tour!
Let me show you the magic of Kansai, its culture, flavors, and hidden treasures. I can’t wait to explore with you! 🗺️
