About Tour Guide Lisa W.

Hi everyone! My name is Lisa.

Thank you very much for checking out my profile.

I am originally from Osaka, Japan, and completed my Bachelor’s Degree from Kyoto Prefecture University in architecture. During my stay in Kyoto I volunteered as a tour guide for foreign visitors.

After graduation I moved to Tokyo and worked in the marketing and promotions field. On weekends I continued to work as a tour guide volunteer in Tokyo.

I have also studied at the University of California, Irvine and worked for a tech company in Anaheim California. It was great oppotuniay for me to see Japan from foreigner's perspective.

My happiness for meeting new people and learning my own culture through guiding foreign visitors kept increasing and that made me decide to become a professional tour guide.

I offer tailor-made tours for individuals or groups. I have met a lot of wonderful people through tour guiding and look forward to the many more friends I will make.

My strength is the stock of Japan's historical and architectural knowledge, which I believe makes your Japan experience fun and interesting especially when you are visiting Japan's old capitals.

During my tour I will share with you historical contents of places or structures you are visiting so that you can understand the reason why you meet present Japan. I have friendly and mindful nature which will make your Japan experience greater!

Please feel free to message me if you have any question about your Japan trip!

Hope to see you soon in my tour.

Best,

Lisa

Wonderful Multi-Day Tour of Kyoto, Osaka and Nara with Lisa!

My wife and I and two friends spent five fabulous days exploring Kyoto, Osaka and Nara with Lisa. Lisa is a consummate professional and speaks English extremely well. She is knowledgeable about Japanese history, culture and customs, and very engaging. Lisa worked closely with us to develop an itinerary that satisfied all of our interests. Lisa was flexible and accommodating. When I suggested some specific restaurants for lunch, Lisa was able to scramble the order of our itinerary so we could get to these restaurants and still visit all the sites in our itinerary. She was even able to squeeze in a late request to visit a soy sauce brewery! Lisa also managed our day-trip train travel from Kyoto to Osaka and Nara, and booked activities for us. She paid attention to the needs of our group as a whole, but was always keenly aware of our individual needs. Lisa really took care of us. Lisa is warm and kind, and has a great sense of humor. She is truly a delightful person to spend time with. As our days together passed, we grew more and more attached to Lisa, and were sad to say goodbye when it was time to for us leave for Kanazawa. We will miss Lisa, but we look forward to reuniting with her on future trips to Japan. Lisa is in high demand, so I urge you to reach out to her several months in advance of your travel dates.

The Extraordinary Lisa!

Lisa is extraordinary! We had several top-rated tour guides during our month long stay in Japan and she reigned supreme among all. She went above and beyond to ensure that all members of our family (ages 10 to 85+) had an excellent and memorable adventure. Her expertise, knowledge, planning, flexibility, adaptability, enthusiasm, kindness and photos were second to none. We went hours over and she stayed until she made sure that everyone's Osaka dreams came true, including riding a Ferris wheel at the aquarium. Thank you, Lisa! We look forward to seeing you on our next trip!

Exceptional Tour Guide Experience with Lisa in Osaka

We had an amazing experience with Lisa as our tour guide in Osaka! Her excellent English skills, which she developed during her studies in the US, made the tour engaging and easy to follow. Lisa was incredibly friendly and interacted wonderfully with our two kids, making them feel included and excited about the journey. We learned so much about local culture and Japanese history, thanks to her insightful explanations. Lisa's professionalism shone through in her communication before the tour. She thoughtfully discussed the itinerary with us and provided a variety of suggestions for exploring the Osaka area on our own. She even prepared multiple itineraries for both sunny and rainy days, ensuring we had a great experience regardless of the weather. Lisa is undoubtedly one of the best tour guides we've encountered in our travels to different countries. We highly recommend her to anyone visiting the Kyoto, Nara, and Osaka areas!
