About Tour Guide Nicolas M.
Hello! I am a French guide who has been living in Japan for over 26 years.
I am passionate about Japanese history, culture, traditions and everyday life. My goal is not only to show you famous landmarks, but also to help you understand the stories, customs and way of thinking that make Japan so unique.
I speak French, Japanese and English, which allows me to communicate easily with both visitors and local people.
I offer private tours in Tokyo, Kamakura, Hakone, all regions in Kanto like Kawaguchiko, unknown places with a wonderful view of Mont Fuji from Shuzenji, Yokohama and the beautiful coastal town of Hayama. Whether you are visiting Japan for the first time or returning to discover hidden places, I will adapt each tour to your interests and pace.
Before becoming a full-time guide, I worked as a French pastry chef in Japan for many years. This experience has given me a deep appreciation of Japanese craftsmanship, hospitality and attention to detail.
I enjoy sharing history, local stories, food culture and practical insights that you won’t always find in guidebooks.
I look forward to helping you create unforgettable memories during your trip to Japan!

Hakone entdecken mit Yuki
Hakone ist nur ein Paradies der heißen Quellen und Natur. Besonders beeindruckend sind die atemberaubende Aussicht auf den Fuji vom Ashi-See sowie die imposante vulkanische Landschaft des Ōwakudani. Selbst wenn Sie keine heißen Quellen mögen, können Sie diese in Fußbad-Cafés mit Fußbädern ganz entspannt genießen. Eine perfekte Kombination aus Sightseeing und Entspannung! Hakone ist eine Stadt, die man mit Romance Car (Zug) in 75 Minuten von Shinjuku (Tokio) aus erreichen kann.
