Aichi Private Tours &amp; Local Tour Guides

(6 reviews)

Hi! I’m Yumi, National Licensed Guide. Japan has so many charms, must-see spots & must-eat dishes. Let’s enjoy those with me as you’ve got a local friend. Feel free to contact me to plan your own trip Golden age guests, family with kids are highly welcomed! Big cities like Tokyo or Kyoto is wonderful as you know, but the local places like my location is also nice. Reasonable prices, easy to book hotels, not so crowded, etc. When you travel between Tokyo and Kyoto, why don’t you stop by at Nagoya? ★Let's enjoy something local while you stay in Japan! I mainly do walking tour using public transportations. Let me know your preferences to make your original itinerary. I am available for not only for day tour but also evening tour to visit where locals gather and enjoy food and sake at local bars and cozy restaurants.

Hello, I am Michiko , the same name of Japanese ex-Empress. I am a government certified tour guide. I have lived in Nagoya ( located between Tokyo and Osaka) for 35 years since I got married. I worked for JAL as a flight attendant in my 20's. After retiring JAL, I have taught English and Mathematics to junior and senior high school students for 20 years. I love traveling very much both domestically and abroad and enjoy walking around each city and talking with local people so that I can find out the way how to they live and think about their life. It's quite a fun for me. I also love hiking and mountain climbing in spring, summer and autumn, and skiing in winter. In the countryside of Japan there still remain those farming and fishery villages where people have been rooted in their land and community, living the way handed down from generation to generation. You can also enjoy the original Japanese landscape there. Why don't you get out of the hustle and bustle of your busy life and have a rest rich in nature in the rural Japan enjoying beautiful scenery and local food. I'm waiting for you!

Hi lovely travelers, I'm Serge, originally from the Netherlands, and Japan has been my home for over three decades now. What brought me here initially was love, and that love has kept me rooted in this beautiful country ever since. Along the way, I discovered another love: Japan itself. Following my stint as a radio jockey and TV presenter, where I co-hosted a dedicated program for the Nagoya Grampus soccer team, I transitioned to a behind-the-scenes role as a media fixer for international media outlets. Though my job as media fixer, I've been traveling and working throughout all of Japan, exploring unique places and meeting lots of very interesting people. I would love to share and make you, my dear traveler, experience these places as well. Visiting and getting a tour at Japan's oldest traditional vinegar maker, or experience and taste at a traditional "katsuo bushi" bonito flake maker, or do you prefer to visit some old local shrines or temples. with no-one around you, except for the crickets and trees. Maybe you just want a friend to bring you to your desired locations and interpret and be at your beck and call 24 hours (like I do for the media). If you're looking for flexibility (time, places. transport), you won't find a better match than me. My work as a fixer taught me a valuable lesson: the key to traveling together successfully, lies in a blend of humor, professionalism, and adaptability.

“Thanks to Yumi”

Dear Yumi Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! We wanted to tell you how much we appreciated the time spent with you during our trip to Nagoya. It was one of the most enjoyable highlights of our introduction to Japan, made even more delightful because of your pleasant, personable and perky spirit. The rain was overshadowed by your positive attitude and desire to make the tour a good experience for us and we enjoyed so much getting to know you. The time spent was more like a friend showing and sharing her city with us than a formal guided tour ... Thank you yumi Sincerely Darwin Sent from AT&T Yahoo Mail on Android
