About Tour Guide Jalil E.

Hi, I'm Jalil ! I’ve called Japan my home for +15 years. I've been a National Tour Guide in my home country, then dived in the teaching field for + 20 years.

Let's be honest: you don't need a guide to lecture or show you Google Maps routes. Instead, travelers book a day with me for mental peace, authenticity, and deep local insight while unlocking Japanese culture.

When I'm free, I choose walking or hiking, and I also love photography.

Respecting your time, energy, and preferences, let's tailor your tour when possible. We will conquer the complex train hubs and manage heavy crowds. Sorry, I can't make the crowds vanish : )

You'll get a trusted multilingual friend who understands your international perspective, expectations, and travel needs. If you are traveling with little ones, elderly people or anyone who need care, let me know.

• Honest, Commission-Free Guiding: I never accept shop kickbacks or use tourist traps. My recommendations are 100% independent.

• Personal Photographer: I will gladly take nice photos of your group throughout our walk so everyone is in the picture!

I am fully flexible and happy to customize the pace, starting times, and locations to match your group's comfort. Let me know if you have any preferences or requests.
