Flexible & Friendly: I understand the needs of international travelers and will help you navigate Japan (including your JR Pass) with ease.
Shopping & Sweets Expert: I am a huge fan of shopping! If you need recommendations for Japanese cosmetics or the best local snacks, just ask me. I especially have a "sweet tooth" for Apple Pie and Daifuku (mochi)—I’m always on the hunt for the best ones in town!
Let’s go beyond the guidebooks and discover the real Japan together.
I look forward to meeting you in Kyoto, Osaka, or Kobe!
