Hello!
I'm Maki. Nice to meet you.
I used to work at a travel agency as a tour escort so I have traveled to more than 50 countries and all 47 prefectures in Japan.
When I came back to Japan from abroad, I always noticed virtues and points to be admired in Japan anew.
I'm thrilled to introduce such kinds of stories and favorite spots to you.
I like bar hopping, cooking, history, and outdoor activities such as camping, cycling.
I have a licence of International Sake Sommlier and Wine Expert. I'm happy if I would have a chance to introduce you about sake and wine. Let's have fun together!

“A truly authentic Tokyo evening!”
Great evening with Maki! We started at a local Izakaya, an experience that I could not have had without her being a solo mature woman traveller, as we were the only women in a sea of men. An incredible and unique experience combined with great food. After hearing about my curiosity about standing sushi restaurant, we went to one. And once again, a learning experience with excellent sushi among locals, no tourists. We proceeded to a beer hall that had an interesting history and reason for its creation. We ended the evening by strolling through the serene gardens atop Ginza 6. An evening that exceeded my expectations. I am grateful for the once-in-a-lifetime experience you provided. Thank you Maki!

“Fantastic Ginza evening ”
We had a beautiful evening with Maki who took us on a culinary journey to a beautiful okonomiyaki restaurant and the to a small izakaya. This is an authentic Japanese experience, as a foreigner you cannot experience this on your own, and Maki explained many points of interest. We also had a lovely walk after dinner around Ginza and up to the top of Ginza 6 for the magnificent view of the city. I rated the tour 5 stars because Maki went out of her way to accommodate our interests and food preferences and was so kind and lovely to talk to. You will have a beautiful evening with Maki if you book a tour with her!
