About Tour Guide Akari Y.

I have started guiding in the Kansai area since 2023. I am passionate about introducing the history of Japan.

I am happy to introduce guests from overseas to the Japanese culture established by our predecessors.

I will introduce Japanese culture, food, cuisine, sake, nature, manga, spiritual culture, history, Buddhism, Shinto, Shugendo, pilgrimage paths, and other topics of interest.


Let me introduce myself. I was born in Osaka and grew up in Osaka and Kyoto. I have lived in the U.S., China, and Australia when I was young.
