Hello every one! Thank you for reading my profile. I'm Hitomi, a guide in Kyushu. I've lived and visited many countries such as US, Canada, France, Spain, Singapore, Australia etc. Because I'm interested in learning different cultures and languages and I love meeting people from all over the world. When I visited Vietnam, I took a private tour with a local guide. Her private tour was very unique and fun, it made my trip very special and unforgettable. I had a really good time with her. That experience made me want to be a guide in Japan. Visiting other countries and experiencing other cultures are very exciting and refreshing. There're lots of things to see and experience in Japan too. Let's enjoy and have a memorable time together! No travel no life!

Your Expert Trekking Partner in Japan – From Mt. Fuji to Hidden Local Trails Searching for a trekking guide who knows Japan’s terrain inside out? Look no further! Born in Osaka and raised by nature-loving parents, my passion for the outdoors began early with a youth spent hiking, fishing, camping, and skiing. As a JMGA-certified Trekking Guide (Stage II), I have led diverse groups across Japan—from the rugged peaks of the North to the lush trails of the South—and even on international routes. When I’m not guiding professionally, you’ll find me on my "home turf," the Rokko Mountains, where I explore the trails daily. Whether you're looking for an iconic ascent of Mt. Fuji or a spiritual journey along the Kumano Kodo (Nakahechi & Kohechi), I ensure a safe, seamless, and deeply enriching experience. Custom tours are always welcome. Let’s hit the trail together!

I was born and raised in Hiroshima, and I have been guiding visitors for more than ten years. For the past three years, I have been a professional guide, and I have conducted over 200 paid tours. My specialties are guiding visitors around the Peace Memorial Museum, the Peace Park, and Miyajima Island. I also enjoy introducing people to Saijo, which is famous for its sake breweries. Thanks to my long experience, I am able not only to explain the exhibits and monuments, but also to share the deeper stories behind them. Many of my guests have told me they especially appreciated this. As a second-generation atomic bomb survivor, I feel a strong responsibility to pass on the stories of Hiroshima to people from around the world.

I'm a National Licensed Guide Interpreter with over five years of experience, having guided more than 1,000 guests from around the world. Based in Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture, I offer tours that connect travelers with the rich nature, culture, and history of the region. Before becoming a guide, I worked at global investment banks in Tokyo, where I communicated daily in English with colleagues around the world. I later returned to my hometown to embrace a slower pace of life and reconnect with the natural beauty of this area. Yamagata is a wonderful destination for those who appreciate nature and rural charm. Tsuruoka and its surrounding area, nestled between the Sea of Japan and scenic mountain ranges, offer cultural experiences you won't find anywhere else. Highlights include visiting temples of Sokushinbutsu (self-mummified monks), climbing 2,446 stone steps to the summit of a sacred mountain, encountering the mystical world of jellyfish, enjoying a rich culinary heritage, exploring local crafts, and much more. I truly love my hometown and am passionate about helping visitors create unforgettable memories here. I look forward to meeting you and sharing the beauty and culture of Tsuruoka! <How to get Tsuruoka from Tokyo> By JR - Take the Joetsu Shinkansen from Tokyo to Niigata, then transfer to the Limited Express Inaho bound for Tsuruoka. The total journey takes about 4 hours from JR Tokyo Station. By bus - Overnight buses depart around 10 PM from Shinjuku and Shibuya in Tokyo, arriving in Tsuruoka around 6 AM. Please check the bus company’s website for details. By air - ANA operates direct flights between Haneda Airport and Shonai Airport approximately five times a day.

I was born and raised in Tokyo. I have had opportunities to communicate with foreign people since I was a junior high school student, because I joined American summer camp held in Japan. Many children gathered from all over the world, and we enjoyed various activities in English. Through this camp , I found I love to communicate with foreign people. After graduating from the university, I worked for apparel brand company as a buyer, researching the latest trend, shops and culture in Tokyo. So I know how attractive this area is! I have mainly organized customized tours of Tokyo, so can tailor the tour according your preferences. I look forward to meeting you!
