Hello! I’m Justin, your passionate local host in Tokyo and Kyoto. Although I’m new to this platform, I’ve been guiding travelers for six years, sharing Japan’s rich culture, fascinating history, and modern charm with visitors from around the world.

Tokyo is a city that never stops surprising me, with its unique blend of traditional heritage, futuristic architecture, and vibrant neighborhoods. I’d love to help you discover both its famous landmarks and hidden corners, experiencing the city beyond the typical tourist spots.

Kyoto is another city close to my heart. From the lively streets of Sakyo to the serene beauty of Arashiyama, every neighborhood has its own character and stories to tell. I enjoy bringing Kyoto’s history and culture to life through its temples, architecture, traditional arts, and lesser-known gems.

Are you a food lover? So am I! I’m always exploring Japan’s food scene, from traditional local eateries to exciting new spots. Whether you want to try authentic Japanese cuisine, discover hidden restaurants, or explore the local food culture, I’ll help you find experiences that suit your tastes.

Beyond food, I have a particular interest in Japanese history, architecture, and art. I love sharing the stories behind historic buildings, ancient artworks, and cultural landmarks, helping you understand not just what you’re seeing, but why it matters.

In 2022, I was honored to be appointed a Kyoto Prefecture Friendship Ambassador, allowing me to further promote cultural exchange between Japan and the world.

My goal is to make every tour personal, engaging, and memorable. Whether you’re visiting Japan for the first time or returning to discover something new, I’ll tailor the experience to your interests and pace.

Although I’m new to this platform, I bring six years of guiding experience and a genuine passion for sharing Japan with travelers. I look forward to exploring Japan with you and helping you create unforgettable memories!
