Hello!
My name is Jaya, and I’d be delighted to be your local tour guide during your visit to Indonesia — especially around Jakarta, Bandung, and the Banten area.
I am fluent in English and Japanese, and I take great pride in offering guests a comfortable and enjoyable experience while exploring our beautiful country.
With over 20 years of experience working in a multinational company, I’ve used Japanese and English for daily communication, allowing me to understand and bridge different cultures with ease. Since 2009, I have also worked as a Japanese interpreter, mainly for business purposes — assisting clients in meetings, factory visits, and negotiations.
Beyond business, I’ve had the pleasure of guiding many visitors to local sightseeing spots, sharing Indonesia’s rich culture, delicious cuisine, and hidden gems — whether after work hours or on weekends.
It brings me true joy to help you discover the warmth and beauty of Indonesia.
I’m cheerfully looking forward to welcoming you and making your journey both memorable and meaningful!
