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!
