About Tour Guide Chizuru F.

Hello, my name is Chizuru. I'm from Kagawa, Shikoku Island. I went to primary school in London and in my 20s, I travelled around the world as a backpacker. After becoming a mother, I settled in Kagawa. Over time, I became deeply fascinated by Japanese culture, particularly kimono and

Japanese sake. This led me to open a kimono rental shop in one of Japan's most beautiful gardens. I find great joy in meeting tourists and dressing them in kimono. I also began offering Japanese sake bar-hopping tours, which I mostly enjoy because they allow me to have fun with tourists and share my passion for Japanese culture.

Kagawa is home to many beautiful islands, and I would love to take you to these stunning places too, where you can experience art, meet the local people, and enjoy local food. There are so many things to do, and I am happy to arrange any activities you desire in Kagawa.

“Great photo spots and a lot of explanations”

Chizuru waited for us and took us to the kimono dressing room. She had a nice selection of patterns and colors that even made my wife happy :D Then we walked through the park, and she showed us great places to take photos at, and she also explained the history of many buildings, trees, and other objects in the garden. Also about Japan in general. It was a joy, and I can recommend this tour to everyone! It's also not crowded at all, unlike in Kyoto. Thanks a lot!

Chizuru F.

Thank you so much for your kind and detailed review! I was delighted to be your guide. My main goal is to show visitors not only the most picturesque spots for photos but also to share the fascinating background of the garden and Japan, so your comment about the explanations is very rewarding to read. Thank you once again for choosing this Kimono tour and for your recommendation! It was truly a joy for me as well. Chizuru

“Excellent half day trip with Chizuru San!”

Great experience with Chizuru San! We booked a half-day hiking trip from tamano park to Yashima Mountain, Chizuru San took us to the pilgrimage trail! We learnt local history and story of Yashima Mountain, Chizuru San showed us a secret little shrine in the Yashima Temple, that was amazing. It’s very pity that we forgot to take pictures that day, but the view is definitely amazing! We really appreciate Chizuru San’s recommendation for udon and Tea Room in Ritsurin Garden. It really worth it, many thanks to Chizuru San:)

Chizuru F.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I'm so glad you enjoyed the half-day hike on the pilgrimage trail from Tamano Park to Yashima Mountain, even in the heat. It was truly a pleasure to guide someone who is so interested in local history and stories. I'm happy we could share the amazing views and the little secret corner of Yashima Temple. It means a lot that you appreciated the recommendations for the udon and the Tea Room at Ritsurin Garden as well. Many thanks again for an excellent trip! Chizuru
