About Tour Guide Agustin M.

Soy Agustín y coordino un equipo de guías hispanohablantes que vivimos en Japón. Llevamos años explorando el país y nos encanta compartir su historia, templos y santuarios, barrios modernos, comida, tecnología y rincones menos turísticos.

Nuestro equipo: María, Unai, Gerry, Candelaria, Ciro y Tania.

Zonas: con base en Kioto/Osaka/Nara, también cubrimos Kobe, Himeji, Uji y, bajo solicitud, otras ciudades de Japón.

Cómo asignamos tu guía: para cada reserva te confirmaremos por mensaje el nombre de la persona que te acompañará, y siempre que sea posible esa guía te contestará directamente para ajustar el plan a tus gustos (ritmo, intereses, alergias, accesibilidad, etc.).

Idiomas: español (nativo), inglés (fluido) y japonés (nivel operativo).

Nos adaptamos a familias, parejas, grupos pequeños y viajeros solitarios, con itinerarios a medida que combinan cultura, gastronomía y vida local.


I’m Agustin, and I lead a small team of Spainish-speaking guides based in Japan. We love sharing Japan’s classics and hidden corners including history and temples, lively neighborhoods, food, tech, and off-the-beaten-path spots.

Team members: Maria, Unai, Gerry, Candelaria, Ciro, and Tania.

Areas: based around Kyoto/Osaka/Nara; we also cover Kobe, Himeji, Uji, and other cities across Japan.

Who will guide you: for each booking we will confirm the guide’s name in the message thread, and whenever possible that guide will reply personally to fine-tune the plan (pace, interests, dietary needs, accessibility, etc.).

Languages: Spanish (native), English (fluent), and operational Japanese.

We tailor private tours for couples, families, solo travelers, and small groups, mixing culture, food, and real everyday Japan.

Reviews

AN EXPERIENCE WE HAVE NOT LIVED IN ANY OTHER COUNTRY

I’ve traveled to many countries and had countless experiences, but this one was by far the best of all. The guide made every moment special — combining deep knowledge, passion, and contagious energy. The way he connected with the group and brought each story to life made a huge difference. Thank you for turning this trip into an experience I will never forget.”

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.
