About Tour Guide Vicky S.
Hi,I'm Vicky. based in Osaka. I have been living in Japan 6 years.I used to be a radio host in China for 10 years before moved to Japan. which helped me develop strong communication skills and a warm presentation style.
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!

“Outstanding Tour Guide and Tour of Kyoto”
We spent a full day with Vicky. She is incredibly knowledgeable and pleasant, and flexible. I had asked for 3 or 4 places to visit and also asked for some meal reservations, and she was able to make everything, and more, happen. Midway through the day, I was fatigued ( from previous day tour ) and she was able to pivot the remainder of the day to accomodate me but still allow others to see the sights. We spent 9 hours together and she was an absolute delight all day. I would book with her again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Vicky!

“A nice and memorable trip in Osaka”
The day with Vicky was exactly as I had imagined it. Since she is very open and articulate, we got along well right away. When I asked to take things a bit more slowly because I was still a little tired from the day before, she immediately accommodated my request. It turned into a relaxed and informative stroll through the city, in very pleasant and worldly company, with beautiful weather. Thank you for that, Vicky — thumbs up, 5/5!
