Hello! My name is Naoto, and I'm a licensed local guide interpreter. I was born in Toyama and grew up here before living and working overseas.
My global experience and several decades of life in Tokyo made me realize that the Toyama area offers the most authentic, worthwhile Japan—the kind international travelers truly desire when visiting the country. I specialize in helping you go beyond the typical tourist path, immersing you in Toyama and its surrounding areas to reveal the pristine culture and natural beauty that await in this hidden gem.
Whether your interests lie in history, architecture, arts and crafts, lively festivals, unique food culture, or nature watching (including music, manga, and pop culture), I've got you covered. I particularly enjoy uncovering local treasures, like a secluded restaurant tucked away in the mountains near a temple. And for those who love the outdoors, I'd be delighted to organize a hiking or fishing trip to showcase Toyama's natural beauty.
Since every tour can be customized according to your interests and needs, I will personally help you have a one-of-a-kind experience here in the Toyama and Kanazawa area.
Please contact me to start planning your future trip!
