When talking about history of Japan, the word "Shogun" is frequently used.

However, Shogun and Samurai society around Kamakura to Edo period are really mysterious to foreign visitors, for example "what is different between Shogun and King?"

As we walk around the battlefield where as 160,000 samurai worriors fought between West and East two allies, and as we see many historical remains at the museum, we can imagine the entire view of one of most fierce and important events in Japanese history.

About Tour Guide Tom K.

Hello, This is Tom!!

I started to work as an English speaking Guide from last year of Aichi and Gifu, Shiga, Shizuoka or Toyama, around mid center of Japan.

I already have many experiences of guiding tourists from many countries at “Nagoya castle”, “Toyota commemorative museum”, “Atsuta Jingu shrine”, “Osu Kannon temple and shopping arcade”, “Inuyama castle”, “Nagashima outlet mall”, "Seto-Gura pottary museum", “Sekigahara samurai battle field“, “Seki swordsmith museum”, “Takayama traditional town street”, “Takayama Jinya shogunate office”, “Shirakawa-go thatched roof houses village”, “Tateyama snow wall” as well.

If you have interests of Japanese history and culture or way of life, we can learn together them through my histrical tours.

I also work as a tour conductor of group tour using Van or Tour Bus or Shinkansen bullet train and have experiences of attending their lunch and dinner then I have experiences of how to cope different food restrictions of each ethnic group.

And I am little aged as you see then I am familiar with “slow life style” of elderly people then I will customize the pace of my tour flexibly according to the age and condition of my customer.

On the other hand if you have little kids in your party, I can prepare tours for kids like “Ghibli park” or “SCMaglev railway park” as well.

Please contact me immediately when you are ready to visit here around mid center of Japan.
