Noriko K.
Hello, nice to meet you. I'm Noriko.
I am a national licensed guide and had been working for the biggest travel company in Japan for 13 years. I worked more than 20 kinds of tours such as Kamakura, Kawagoe, and major towns in Tokyo. But while staying at home due to the COVID-19, I wanted to improve my specialism and started studying Japanese art in order to guide the Tokyo National Museum in the Ueno park.
I was born, grew up, in Tokyo where I live with my husband, son and a dog. Our family love traveling and enjoy skiing. I love history very much and drawing illustrations. So, I can explain the characteristics and background of Japanese art using illustrations I made.
I'm sure I can help you learn and understand the basics of Japanese art. Please contact me. I'm looking forward to seeing you.

Hi, I'm Hiro. I am a licensed national tour guide. I live in Yokohama, just an hour by train from Tokyo. Since my workplace is located in Tokyo, I know the capital from famous sightseeing spots to hidden places.
I love travelling. I have been to 15 countries around the world. While travelling, I love to experience the local cultures. I am, especially, fond of strolling local markets to feel the local vibes. If you want to feel what Japan is really like, I can show and share destinations of Japan from internationally popular ones to local neighborhoods such as Owl café or Izakaya restaurant. I will be very pleased to see you in Japan.
Hiroki K.
I am a professional government-licensed tour guide. So far, I have provided private and small group tours for more than 800 guests from about 30 countries in Kyoto and Osaka, where I have spent most of my adult life in the two cities. As a result, I have also been appointed as an inbound hospitality instructor by Japan Tourism Agency. So I believe you will have a fantastic experience.
Furthermore, I am also a specialist of tourism in general. I have experienced guide coaching, co-author of several inbound guidebooks, and translator of inbound materials. Especially in Kyoto, I have been in charge of a guide coaching program since 2020. Based on these experiences, I am doing a doctoral research in tourism studies (tourism ethics) in a university. So, I can assure you that you will also be in touch with more profound knowledge and wisdom that you cannot get anywhere else.

Hiroyuki H.
I'm Hiroyuki.
I was born in Osaka, central city in western Japan, and when I was college student, lived in Kyoto, previous capital of Japan, and now live in Tokyo, current capital.
I have worked for a global company for about 30 years. Working with international members gave me the opportunity to communicate with people with different cultures, and sometimes the opportunity to guide the spots of interest to them.
I found it interesting to show Japanese interesting spots to the guests, such as the wonderful things, strange things, mysterious things, marvelous things.
For the past few years, I tried to improve ability to communicate with people from abroad. Recently, Japanese history intrigued me.
I’m really into finding historical places, local favorites, and unique systems in Japan.
In the tour pages, I am introducing tours in Tokyo and tours in Kyoto and Osaka. I include the orthodox sightseeing places. However, you could also specify some unique local places. Information about local spots and local foods such as Ramen, Udon would be interesting to you. Please contact me and let’s talk about your itinerary specially made to order.
I’m looking forward to hearing from you and to seeing you in Japan.
Mari I.
Hello everyone, welcome to Japan!
I am Mari, a tour guide in KYOTO with over 4 years of experience. I love discovering hidden gems in Japan, teaching foreign visitors calligraphy, and interacting with people from all around the world.
+++As a guide+++ I have conducted many tours to major sightseeing sites such as the UNESCO World Heritage temples and castles. I am also happy to show my favorite places and other locations off the beaten path, like where you can see the local craftsmen.
Thanks to my French husband, who is also a guide, I have learned a great deal about the points foreign tourists could contemplate the marvels of Japanese culture and developed my storytelling skills. I like to show my guests everything, with special focus on small details not written in guidebooks, and like to utilize anecdotes to help others understand Japanese culture.
In addition to my guiding services, I can also provide concierge services such as booking high-quality restaurants, special shows or activities, tea ceremonies, etc.
+++As a calligraphy teacher+++ I consider that calligraphy is not about writing with the complex Japanese "kanji" alphabet. Calligraphy is an art form which enables you to express your thoughts and relax your mood through your brush strokes and writing style. My workshops are a tailor-made experience. I also offer lessons for small children and provide an interactive experience for them. Best of all, workshops can be arranged to fit your schedule!
Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions about my lessons.
I am looking forward to discovering Japanese culture with you. :)

Konnichiwa!
I am Gulay, I have been working as a professional guide since 2008, and have received my training at the Department of Tourism Guidance for 4 years. I moved to Spain for one year (Las Palmas de Gran Canaria) and worked as a volunteer and mentor in EVS organizations (European Voluntary Service) But then my interest in Japanese culture led me to my current carrier in Kyoto for 3 years. Guiding is my passion, I believe guiding for guests that you never met before from totally different countries is great chance to know people better to improve your skills. As your guide, I will be pleased to share my experience of guiding with you and will do my best to make your holiday a memorable one.
I am here to explain the local culture and traditions and give guests other local insights.
Abdelkader M.
Konnichiwa! I'm Kader, a proud local host in the vibrant city of Tokyo. I deeply appreciate the unique blend of traditional and modern cultures that make Tokyo such a special place. I'm especially knowledgeable about the areas of Akihabara, Asakusa, Ueno, Shibuya, and Shimokitazawa, Yokohama , Kamakura, Enoshima and I love sharing my love of this city with visitors. One of the best things about Tokyo is its bustling energy, even though it maintains a peaceful atmosphere. Whether you're an avid photographer or just someone looking for an unforgettable experience, there's no shortage of amazing sights to see in this city. Spring is one of my favorite seasons in Tokyo, as it's the perfect time to go out and sample the city's delicious food and drinks. Whether you're a fan of traditional Japanese cuisine or prefer more modern fare, you'll never run out of amazing dining options in this city. And, of course, I can't forget to mention my love of anime and Japanese fashion. I'm an avid shopper and often head to Omotesando to browse the latest fashion trends. As an expert on all things Tokyo, I'm always happy to share my knowledge and help visitors make the most of their time in this amazing city. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned traveler, I'm confident that you'll love this city as much as I do.

Keiji M.
Hello everyone. My name is Keiji living in Okayama. Okayama is located halfway between Hiroshima and Osaka. Nowadays a lot of people are attracted by Naoshima that is a small island famous for Art and Architecture. Okayama is the entrance to the island therefore I often show international guests around Naoshima. Okayama itself has many tourist attractions such as Kurashiki famous for Bikan historical quarter, Korakuen garden, Okayama castle and so on. If you'd like to include Hiroshima or Osaka on your plan, I can show you round them as these cities are in the distance of an hour train ride. I'm an easygoing and extrovert person. I'm always waiting for you to contact me..
Midori N.
Hello, welcome to my page! My name is Midori which means GREEN in Japanese. You can call me Midori or Green. I grew up and have lived all my life in Yamanashi Prefecture where Mt. Fuji is and it is only 2 hours bus riding from Tokyo.
In my spare time, I hike and play badminton. I also like spending time with my two cats in my free time.
I became a National Licensed Tour Guide in 2014, but I started working as a guide mainly in 2023. I worked for an English conversation school in Japan for 23 years and was teaching English and also helping Japanese students to become better English speakers.
I realize that teaching and guiding are similar because the essential thing in both is that I could entertain people and I can respond to their requests.
When I was in my 20s, I visited many countries. There I had locals or other tourists help me a lot, which made my time unforgettable. Therefore, as a guide, I would really like to assist your trip so that you can have a blast without inconvenience in Japan.
In addition, in my tour, I would like to talk about not only how beautiful Mt.Fuji is but also how historical and attractive it is.
If you are interested in my tour, please feel free to contact me. You can choose my fixed tour or if you wish, I can customize and make a perfect itinerary based on your requests.
Let’s make an awesome trip together at the foot of Mt. Fuji!
I am looking forward to seeing you soon.

I love Japanese history so I will be able to give you additional information and explain so you would understand things deeply.
I will help create an unforgettable experience in Japan and so excited to see you!
