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.

“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:)

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

“Amazing time in Takamatsu with wonderful Chizuru”

We had an absolutely fantastic tour in Takamatsu with Chizuru! Her deep knowledge and engaging storytelling transported us straight to the Edo period, making history come alive. Ritsurin Garden was breathtakingly beautiful and peaceful, a true gem. Chiruku’s wonderful suggestions made the experience even more special, and her flexibility ensured we enjoyed every moment. Most importantly, Chizuru is incredibly **trustworthy**—a rare quality among tour guides. Unlike some who take advantage of tourists, she genuinely cares about providing an authentic and fair experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an unforgettable journey through Takamatsu’s rich culture with someone they can fully trust!

Dear Marie, Thank you so much for joining my Takamatsu tour the other day! I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed learning about the history and found Ritsurin Garden beautiful and peaceful. Your kind words about my storytelling, suggestions, flexibility, and especially your trust mean the world to me as a guide. It was a pleasure to be a part of your journey in Takamatsu, and your feedback is truly encouraging. I hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back to Takamatsu again in the future! Sincerely, Chizuru
