About Tour Guide Katie T.

Dear Travelers ! I'm KAORU. (English name : Katie)

I love mountain climbing as you see in my photo and also traveling.

Now I'm teaching English at vocational school as a part-time teacher, but used to be a tour guide to take Japanese tourists abroad.

Why did I become a national certificated guide ?

I'd love to introduce real Japan to you foreign people. I think there are a wide variety of people, customs, places, foods ... in your country. Vice versa in my country !

I'd like you to meet real Japan not only Tokyo or Kyoto but also suburbs and countryside.

Please come to visit Japan and see me ! Find different sides of Japan !
