About Tour Guide Tomoe S.

Hello! My name is Tomoe. I'm a national licensed guide interpreter(English). I made my page here, TripleLights in October 2018. Thank you for finding me.

I was born and grew up in Otsu,Shiga, which is the next city of Kyoto.

I graduated from the university in Kyoto and lived there for four years due to my husband's job.

I like history and like to visit temples in Nara.

My hobby is to plan trips and have visited many cities and towns in Japan and abroad. One of my favorite places is the AIRPORT!!

I have enjoyed meeting and guiding people from abroad, to sightseeing spots in my country.

I really want many people from abroad to enjoy visiting many places and have wonderful experiences in my country. I'll be really happy if I can have such experiences with you!!

Please tell and ask me if there are any places which you want to visit and anything which you want to do in my country. I'll plan the trip only for you.

I am cheerful and always positive. I like to talk with people. I would like to talk with many people from many countries. Please tell me about your country, too!!

I'm looking forward to seeing you!!

Reviews

A fabulous day with Tomoe

We booked this months out and we were able to liaise with Tomoe about our plans for the day. Everything worked like clockwork. We didn't have to worry about any of the details about getting to places, which train etc and she provided exactly the right level of detail that we needed. Thankyou Tomoe.

Dear Carolyn, Thank you very much for your quick review. I had such a nice day visiting the west side of Kyoto with you. I will always remember you when I eat Japanese pickles, and when I pass by Ninnaji Temple! TOMOE
