Hi I'm Hisao!
I'm a Japanese native that lived in Ann Arbor Michigan for 2 years when I was an MBA student at University of Michigan.
I worked as an IT engineer for several IT companies including IBM and Oracle.
I am a big fan of horse racing so I visited handful of racetracks all over the world.
My favorite racetracks are:
Meydan, UAE, surreal racetrack the best race course if you stay at Meydan hotel
Keenland, USA, you can enjoy farm tours nearby
Saratoga, USA, mid-summer derby day is fabulous!
Tokyo(Fuchu) racecourse where Japan Derby is held in every June
Nakayama where Satsuki-sho, first leg of triple crown races, is held
Horse racing is always a center of my life and I want you to experience Japanese horse racing and racetracks. I bet you can enjoy special atmosphere and enthusiasm there if you are global racetrack-goer!
For your convenience, I will accommodate transport between your hotel and racetrack so we can enjoy conversation and please ask anything you are interested. As a licensed guide and an MBA holder, I can provide you with really prudent ideas and thoughts.
I look forward to seeing you and showing you the best destination for racetrack-goers!

Katsunori F.
Hello, My name is Katsunori, a national licensed guide in English. Just call me “Fuji-san”, the same as Mt. Fuji-san.
I worked and lived abroad more than 15 years mainly in the United States, Australia, Abu Dhabi, China and Malaysia. During those days, I communicated many local peoples and felt a lot of different cultures and thinking ways. I was interested in this multi culture circumstance. I also visited many places, some of them were on business purpose, and the others were as private travels. Visiting new places always gave me new discoveries and deep impressions, and I really like these feelings. I would like the visitors to Japan to feel such impressions, and I would like to assist them – this is the primary motivation for me to be a tour guide.
One of my hobbies is trekking. One of the travels that made an impression on me was a mountain trekking at Nepal. I trekked 4 days through the hills over 3000m in Himalaya with mountain guide. Another nice experience was the trekking of Jungle in Sarawak island in Malaysia. The guides explained the natures such as plants, flowers, butterfly and insects of those areas in addition to the trails in both cases, and I really recognized the importance of the guiding. If the guides were not suitable, my memories on the travels might not be so nice.
Japan is really beautiful country. It has seasonal beauty according to the four clear cut seasons. The natures with historical buildings are beyond description. I really hope you, visitors, receive great impressions during your stay in Japan.
I can arrange any kind of tours – from half day city tour to mountain trekking. I will customize special tours for you with proper recommendations.
I am looking forward to hearing from you!!

Located in the center of the main island of Japan, Gunma has been a place where travelers from various parts of Japan, like Tokyo, Niigata, and Nagano, come and go.

Hello there! I am hoping you're having a great day!!
My name is Jose, born and raised in Spain (Barcelona) and I have been living in Japan for the last 10 years, first it was Hiroshima that I called home, for the past few years it has been Kyoto.
I have a wide knowledge of japanese culture, it's social life and it's manners, as well as the most impressive monuments, streets, parks and temples.
I love the city of Kyoto and all of the wonders it has to offer to the people whom decide to visit it, from the Fushimi Inari temple to the Nijo Castle. It is a surprising city with combines the best of modern day activities with the reminiscence of old Japan.
I would like to share my experience in Japan with you, so you have the greatest experience possible.

Pairing the knowledge of a local with the perspective of an outsider, my tours focus on places and insights that nobody else will show you.

Kouhei N.
Hello,
I'm Kouhei, a National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter.
I'm originally from Tokyo, but since I love outdoor activities and wanted to live in a place surrounded by abundant nature, I moved to here in Nagano in 2015.
I have traveled a lot of places in Japan and eventually decided to live in Nagano.
Nagano prefecture is sometimes described as "a roof of Japan" since most of its part are covered with high mountain range.
Because of that, the area gets lots of snow every winter.
It makes the place's nature and culture different from other areas in Japan.
I am also a Mountain Trekking guide and a Cycling Guide as well as English translator guide..
I want to guide you to super beautiful yet lesser known places!
I am very flexible, so please let me know your requests for the guided tour.
Let's explore the "Hidden Gem" of Japan together :)
(for example) Walking Tour : Matsumoto Castle, Zenkoji Temple, Togakushi Shrine, Obuse Town,etc
Mountain Hiking: Beginners to Intermediates (Northern Alps, Yatsugatake, etc)
Cycling Tours : Beginners to Intermediates (North Nagano Area), E Bikes tour available.
Other Specials :Snow Monkey, Picking Wild Vegetables and Cooking Tempura together,
Night Cherry Blossom Viewing, Visiting Sake Winery, Snow Shoeing in
National Park, etc

Miyuki I.
I am a licensed tour guide in Hokkaido. I have been working as a guide for about 10 years. I can work in Sapporo, and whole area of Hokkaido.
Right now I live in Sapporo ,capital city of Hokkaido. Sapporo is the fifth largest city in Japan with 1. 9 million people. But if you drive one hour or so, you are in the middle of rural area surrounded by mountains and the lakes. So if you come to Hokkaido, it is guaranteed to enjoy urban sightseeing spots and food, at the same time, to enjoy soaking in the amazingly beautiful nature.
I can provide you a basic tour, also a customized tour depending on the seasons. Let me help you to create memorable tours that you would cherish for a long time.

Nozomi T.
Hello! I'm Nozomi. I was working in the tourism industry in Tokyo for 30+ years, then I moved to Nagoya and worked as college professor teaching tourism and English for 10 years, and just retired from teaching March 2023.
Nagoya is the prefectural capital of Aichi and you may have an image that Nagoya is an industrial city but it’s not just that. Nagoya is the city with varied attractions. This region is the cradle of the three most famous Samurai lords from the 16th century and there are lots of interesting historic sites and stories. Nagoya is a member of UNESCO creative cities and it is certified as City of Design. It hosts annual World Cosplay Summit which is participated by fabulous Cosplayers from around the world.
I love to explore art and craft, pottery towns, local specialty food, fermentation tourism (sake, soy sauce, miso, mirin, etc.) , traditional festivals and hot spring, so I’d be especially delighted to show such things to my guests!
Yayoi S.
¡Hola! Mi nombre es Yayoi.
Nací y me crié en Tokio, y tras vivir y trabajar más de 15 años en distintos paises hispanohablantes (Argentina, México, España y otros...), me he establecido en Kamakura.
Soy una amante de la naturaleza y en mis ratos libres me dedico a la jardinería, cultivo bonsai y practico “zazen” (meditación zen). Y desde ya que me gusta viajar! Asi conocí distintas culturas y aprendí a valorar la compañia de la gente local. La suma de estas experiencias me ha llevado naturalmente a trabajar como guía de turismo.
Japón debe parecer un país muy exótico, por su idioma, escritura y costumbres tan especiales. Me será un gran placer ayudarte a conocer lo mejor de mi país.
Además de Tokio, en sus cercanias hay mucho para ver y hacer: Los templos de Kamakura con sus historias de samurais, la isla de Enoshima y su diosa del amor, Odawara y su castillo, el paisaje volcánico y las aguas termales de Hakone, y las mejores vistas del Monte Fuji.
Podemos visitar los más hermosos y curiosos lugares, explorar las callejueras, comer y beber algo (a)típico... ¿y por que no ir de compras en algun mercado?
No dudes en escribirme. Juntos armaremos un programa a tu medida. ¡Espero tu mensaje!

您们好!出生在長野县成長在大阪, 住在横滨,工作在東京羽田机场的日本人。
我,從小就很喜欢(❤ ω ❤)旅行跟各种各样的人说活。還有欣賞” 能乐”演出追求日本傳統文化的深奥,因此也深入研究做出”能乐”用的面具。在大学主修中文之后,進入社會已累績了三十多年的工作经验。 曾被派駐過中国北京,台灣,新加坡,俄国等國家受到各個國家朋友們的大力幫助。
现在,我,趁着2020年將舉辦東京夏季奧運會的機會,為各個国家的朋友們用中文和英文介绍一东京,横濱,镰仓,箱根,川越,川崎为主的关东地方。
例如,1,東京筑地市场,东京最古老的神社/浅草寺,东京最大的明治神宫,时装圣地的原宿/表参道,日本象征的天皇起居的皇居/原来的江户城堡,有很多老字号店铺的日本橋,有科学方面尖端技术的台场等地。2,明治维新后发达的离东京半个小时到达的横滨未来港口城市包括三溪园日本传统的庭园,在日本唯一独二的新横滨的拉面博物馆。 3,高为12米大佛的鎌倉,可享受在竹林里喝抹茶的报国寺,同时一起乘坐“江之电车”欣赏海边风景而吃到“章鱼仙贝”吧! 4.被叫做“小江户”的川越。 5,用一天的时间来去看富士山,箱根神社,泸之湖,大涌谷,6,最近我开始安排日本大企业所做的社会贡献活动‘参观工厂’,相信参观工厂也是对各位很有意思的体验,请在3个月以前跟我联络。
非常期待能取得与您的進一步联系,共同探索日本深奧的文化,精緻的藝術及分明的四季之美。

"If my tour is not available on your preferred date, no worries! Just send me a message and I might be able to open up a slot for you."
Hi, I am Toshi.
I love traveling! It gives me a chance to get to know how other people live, their culture, and discovering new places (usually off the beaten track). This is why as a guide, my goal is to give guests a real "local experience"--the kind that I like when I travel.
I've been a licensed tour guide since 2008. I've conducted tours for international guests from the USA, the UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Spain, France, Germany, Poland, Kuwait, Mexico, Singapore, the Philippines, Italia and so on. In fact, I conducted 120 tours (one day tours and a-week long tours) in 2023.
I also speak a little Spanish (un poquito).
In my spare time, I give back to the community as a volunteer: tsunami clean-up activities, entertainment at evacuation camps, guide for foreign visitors in affected areas, and at various cultural events.
Let me show you "My Tokyo"! Enjoy the city like a local and maximize your time in Tokyo!
See you soon!
