About Tour Guide Maki T.
Hello, my name is Maki.
I’m a licensed English-speaking tour guide based in Nagoya.
Having lived in Poland, I understand what it feels like to enter a new culture and want to grasp the deeper meaning behind what you see.
In my tours, I focus on how Japan’s samurai era continues to influence modern life —
from the way people think and work to the sense of order, humility, and attention to detail seen across the country.
I also connect these values to Nagoya’s history, craftsmanship, and industry —
from the Tokugawa legacy and samurai heritage, to Toyota’s engineering culture and local food traditions such as miso and sake.
If you want to understand Japan not only through famous sites, but through the mindset and culture behind them, I would be honored to guide you.
I’ll make sure your time here will be unforgettable and full of “wow” moments.

The Classic Nagoya Tour with the local
Nagoya, Japan’s fourth-largest city has a vibrant blend of history and modernity. I’d love to guide you through some of its most iconic landmarks, including Nagoya Castle, cultural stores, Osu Kannon Temple, charming old shopping streets, and the center of Nagoya: Sakae city. The most striking features about Nagoya Castle is the golden shachihoko, mythical tiger-headed carp, gleaming top of the roof.
