I completed my graduate studies in Japan, and now I’m excited to share this country’s culture, history, and everyday life with visitors from around the world. I am a native Chinese speaker, fluent in English, and also able to communicate in Japanese for daily conversation, so I can easily connect with guests from different backgrounds.
Outside of guiding, I am passionate about traveling, exploring local cuisines, and enjoying K-POP music. I love discovering hidden gems and unique experiences, and I would be delighted to introduce you not only to Japan’s famous landmarks, but also to its local food, culture, and lifestyle.
I look forward to making your time in Japan both memorable and enjoyable. Let’s explore together!

She also happily took pictures for us, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Vicky gave us great options for places to visit and things to do, and she recommended excellent restaurants and shops that we really enjoyed. Her local knowledge and friendly personality made the tour feel personalized and relaxed. We highly recommend her to anyone visiting Osaka!

Osaka nightlife tour
Osaka’s true nightlife magic lies beyond Dōtonbori’s neon glow, tucked into narrow alleys and behind discreet doors where locals gather to eat, drink, and unwind. In Hozenji Yokocho, lantern-lit stone paths lead to intimate izakayas serving yakitori, ramen, and sake late into the night. Nearby, Ura-Namba—“Back Namba”—buzzes with small bars and street stalls where friendly regulars welcome newcomers. *Sale is sale, no refunds*
