About Tour Guide Saki K.

Hi! Thank you for checking my profile, I'm Saki. If you are interested in discovering the Central Japan area, Aichi, Gifu, Mie, Nagano please leave it on me!

I was born in Aichi prefecture where Nagoya is located in. It's a shame many tourists skip our Central area on their itinerary as it's not known well as destination for tourist. However, I'm proud of my region where you can experience Japanese people local life and beauty of hidden nature.

If you are a little bit tired with the touristic places please visit my region. I'll take you calm and tranquil nature places, tasting our traditional cuisine and experiencing local people's real life.

As my husband is from USA, I have many experiences to take my foreign family and friends my favorite places. It was my pleasure they loved where I presented and discovered different side of Japan. I'd like to help making your trip unforgettable and full of new experiences.

I'm really looking forward to presenting you our Central region and seeing you.

Thank you for reading my profile, see you soon!

※If you need the guide to be conducted in Spanish, I can attend in Spanish too.

Si necesita que la guía se haga en español, estoy disponible en español también.

Reviews

Our time with Saki was the highlight of our trip

Saki was beyond incredible. We spent three weeks travelling throughout Japan, and the two days we spent with her were the most memorable of our entire trip and all we talk about with family and friends. From the very beginning, Saki was kind, welcoming, organised, and an excellent communicator. She took the time to understand our family and created truly bespoke experiences that allowed us to experience authentic Japan in a way we never could have on our own. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, yet it always felt like we were exploring Japan with a friend rather than a tour guide. We had 2 young children (under 4) who had some very big feelings as kids do when travelling and having young children herself she was so understanding and adaptive whenever we had to pause for some big tears. What made Saki so special was her genuine hospitality and warmth. She went above and beyond for us, even helping secure restaurant bookings for the Tokyo portion of our trip after our tour with her had finished. Nothing was ever too much trouble. The highlight of our time in Japan wasn't a famous attraction or landmark. It was the time we spent with Saki. We have already started planning our return trip to Japan, and we're intentionally building part of our itinerary around Nagoya so that we can spend more time with her and experience more of Japan through her guide. If you're considering booking with Saki, don't hesitate. She didn't just show us Japan. She helped create memories our family will treasure forever, and by the end of our tour, we genuinely felt like we had made a friend.

Smooth and Well-Organized Experience with Saki

Saki was a wonderful guide and made the experience smooth and enjoyable. She was easy to communicate with and very organized, which made everything feel seamless. She was also very attentive and helpful throughout, making sure everything went according to plan. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would highly recommend Saki to anyone looking for a reliable and professional guide.

Thank you so much for your kind comment! It was a pleasure to meet you in Nagoya. If you have a next time opportunity to visit Japan, I would be more than happy to attend you again for other cities too. Thank you!

An extremely enjoyable and insightful tour by the loveliest guide!

Saki is an extremely knowledgeable and passionate tour guide. Her English is very fluent, and we had no problem at all exchanging conversation. We happened to visit Nagoya on New Years' Eve, and she planned a great 6-hour itinerary mixing local culture, food and shopping. Unfortunately because of our slower walking pace we didn't manage to finish everything on the list, but my family and I still felt that we saw a lot of Nagoya that we wouldn't have gotten to see otherwise. Thank you for the wonderful experience Saki!
