About Tour Guide Niko T.
KONNICHIWA!!
I’m Niko!
I’ve lived in Australia and worked at the Osaka Expo 2025.
Through those experiences, I met people from all over the world — we hung out together, and I loved taking them to hidden local spots that tourists usually don’t find, like cozy cafés, local restaurants, and beautiful nature spots.
I’m a very friendly person who loves learning new things. I enjoy not only sharing unique and lesser-known sides of Japan, but also hearing stories about your country and anything you’d like to talk about!
I’m a big FOODIE! (Please go to my galleries!)
Please let me make you try my favorite Japanese foods!!
I also love taking a pictures and will always bring my camera with me, , so I can take beautiful photos of you during the tour — and you’ll get them on the spot as a little gift !
Providing warm hospitality to people is truly my joy.
You won’t regret joining my tour — I promise!
Can’t wait to meet you soon!

“A truly great guide!”
Niko was a terrific guide for us in Kyoto - she consistently went above and beyond. She worked hard to get a replacement sushi class for us when the original canceled. She took us to the most important sites; then even helped me get a special Pokemon for my granddaughter! We were very impressed with Niko and recommend her highly.

From the moment Niko arrived (perfectly on time) we felt comfortable. She made sure we were warm enough for the day and patiently waited for us.
