About Tour Guide Agustin M.

Me llamo Agustin y me encantaria poder enseñarte donde vivo. Llevo ya 5 años en Japon, 3 años en Kyoto y 2 en Tokushima, y me encanta viajar por el país y guiar a la gente que viene a disfrutar del país del sol naciente.

Me interesa mucho la cultura japonesa en muchos aspectos, desde los monumentos, la historia, la comida (me encanta el ramen) a los videojuegos o la tecnología producida en este país.

I am Agustin and would love to show you around! I have been living in Japan for 5 years, 2 in Tokushima (probably you need to google it) and 3 in Kyoto, and I love it here!. I like travelling around the country and also guide people around the places where I live!

I am interested in many aspects of Japanese culture, from monuments and history to food (ramen lover here) or video games and technology.

Un gu?a estupendo para Osaka y Kioto

Agustín ha sido muy buen guía. Aparte de su amabilidad nos ha contado muchas cosas curiosas sobre Japón y los japoneses. Nos ha llevado a sitios muy interesantes. Lo hemos pasado muy bien con el.

Muchas gracias Verónica. Yo también lo pasé muy bien con ustedes! Saludos

Bosque de Bamb?, Nara y Osaka

Todo perfecto con Agustín. Se adapta a tus necesidades y tenerlo como guía ha sido una experiencia muy positiva. Conoce a la perfección la zona y las costumbres como un local. Gracias a él visitamos rincones que como turistas no hubiéramos conocer.

Excellent day in Kyoto

Augustin was an excellent guide for our extensive tour of Kyoto. He was accommodating, knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. He even did the tour in Spanish and English since our group was bilingual. We had a really great day.
