Akita Tour Guide - Kenichi K.

Kenichi K.

Japan

I would be very glad to guide overseas tourists based on my various working experiences over 30 years in a general trading house, including overseas clients' guide in Japanese local cities, being aware of their interests and viewpoints learned through my engagement with various clients during my overseas assignments (10 years in total) and business trips to some 40 countries. During the past 10 years living in Akita City (northern Japan), I could greatly expand my outdoor activities such as trekking (not only green season but also winter snowshoe hiking), skiing, and experiencing various local traditional festivals, fireworks festival, hot spring lodges stay with local cuisines/Sake etc. I would very much like to share such joy with our valued overseas tourists!

I am a licensed tour guide in Akita. I'm on a mission to unveil the enchanting allure of Akita Prefecture to the world. Nestled away from the hustle and bustle of Tokyo and Kyoto, Akita Prefecture boasts a traditional Japanese landscape that's as unique as it is captivating. My passion lies in ensuring that every visitor, no matter where they're from, experiences the richness of Akita's nature and culture.
