Nice to meet you. I am a national government certified guide interpreter, Emi. I just started this business under the COVID-19 pandemic. Before that, I had worked for more than 30 years as a teacher. Nagano is a cozy city surrounded by a beautiful mountain range. I enjoy strolling around its center, driving in the countryside, visiting some beautiful spots such as Zenkoji Temple, Togakushi highlands, Matsumoto Castle and so on. I also enjoy local dishes with fresh ingredients. I'd like to introduce our lifestyle to you as well as historical places and nature. According to your expectations, I will make your tour tailor-made, not ready-made!

Hello! My name is Keiichi. Please call me Kei. I was born and raised in Joetsu City, located in the southern part of Niigata prefecture. Joetsu was the former capital city of Echigo Province until the mid 19th century. It has a lot of historic sites and scenic spots, and most of all good people. I love my city very much. I worked for the Joetsu City office for over thirty years. During my time there, I was in charge of international relations for about ten years. After retiring from the office, I began working as a licensed tour guide. I am very excited to introduce my city to people all over the world.

Born and bred in Tokyo I am still living in the suburbs of Tokyo. I spent several years in the U.S. and the UK and wanted to show international visitors around Japan in return for the hospitality I had received in foreign countries. After coming back from the UK, I obtained the qualification of the National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter. I can guide guests to every corner of Tokyo including areas off the beaten track. As a history fan I can tell you a historical episode behind the scenes. From a local perspective I can explain how we Japanese are getting along. Since I have science and technology backgrounds, I can give you a tour of scientific or technical things as well..

“A day of enjoyment in Nagano”
My family had a wonderful day visiting Nagano. The snow monkey park was so enjoyable and the hike from the park was beautiful. We enjoyed eating the traditional dumplings from this area, as well as the sake brewery tasting and the beautiful temple. Erin was very nice and informative and made the day very nice. Definitely a doable day trip from Tokyo using the Shinkansen. Oh and the apples and apple juice from this area is so delicious.
Eri M.
June san, Thank you! Even though it was hot day, it was a magical experience to be close to many new-born babies in quiet monkey park, wasn't it? I am glad your family enjoyed all the hight lights of Nagano in one day, being away from crowded cities.

“Resourseful, friendly, and great energy!”
Masa is amazing. He went out of his way to help us feel comfortable like preparing a picnic, choosing a quiet place with a great view, and taking us to places that were mostlty visited by locals. He always did his best to accomodate our needs and was very efficient driving. It felt like doing a tour with a friend who we knew from many years ago. We hope to come back to Japan and do another tour with him <3
Masatoshi Y.
Jose and Franzi are very friendly and kind people. I had a very good time with them. We had a lot of fun as if we were friends. It was my first time playing Yu-Gi-Oh cards with my clients. Though I was their guide, they taught me a lot and expanded my world. I have a new dream of going to Austria. Thank you and see you again.
