Hello, I'm Saki. I am absolutely thrilled to be your guide to the enchanting wonders of Amakusa, Kumamoto, Nagasaki, and the broader Kyushu region. As a native of Amakusa, Kumamoto, I have a deep connection to this area, having lived until completing high school. After spending 15 exciting years in Osaka and Tokyo for university and work, I couldn't resist the magnetic pull of my hometown and returned to Amakusa, realizing just how irresistibly charming it truly is. With my National Licensed English Speaking Guide certification earned in 2018, I've led tour excursions, private tours, Christian tours, and FAM trips, primarily in the Kyushu area. Additionally, my experiences traveling for business and leisure in Europe and various Asian countries have allowed me to immerse myself in diverse cultures and meet incredible people from all walks of life. Kyushu, without a doubt, harbors countless hidden treasures waiting to be uncovered and popular tourist destinations that will leave you in awe. It is my heartfelt goal to share the allure of this region with people from all corners of the globe. So, prepare for an unforgettable journey as we embark on an adventure together. I look forward to meeting you!

I'm a loving father, avid yogi, and adventurer. As a Latin American living in Tokyo, I see Tokyo with a fresh pair of eyes each day- even though I have been here for years. The city has allowed me to tap into my spirituality and hone my cooking skills (Japanese cuisine is a whole other ball game!). It has also introduced me to breathtaking stories and mysteries you have to experience. Let's have fun discovering that and all the other wonders of the city together, from a local perspective.

Since 2007 I have been an English-speaking tour guide, visiting most of the major sightseeing spots in Japan with international travelers. At the same time I have been working as an translator, mainly dealing with technical documents. Shizuoka prefecture has a number of spots for sightseeing, but they have not been fully covered in English-language travel books or on the Internet. So, as a local tour guide, through the TripleLights services, I am hoping to introduce some of the attractiveness of this region to the international visitors.

Nice to meet you! Please call me K. I was born and raised in Tokyo. I played soccer until high school. From college I was playing punk rock in a rock and roll band. I love the Blue Hearts and the Ramones. In Los Angeles, I visited the graves of members of the Ramones. I started traveling abroad when I was in college, and have visited more than 50 countries so far. I have also been to Africa and the Middle East. From 2018 to 2020, I was dispatched to Chuuk State in the Federated States of Micronesia as a JICA Japan Overseas Cooperation Volunteer and worked in the tourism industry. I have experience as a tour guide for American and European tourists. I love old clothes. Most of the clothes I buy are second hand. I like expensive vintage clothes, and I also like cheap recycled clothes. When I travel abroad and visit the local second-hand clothing stores, I realize that the second-hand clothing market in Japan is of high quality. Vintage clothing from America and Europe is popular in Japan, but vintage clothing culture is one of Japan's distinctive subcultures. I would be happy if I could introduce it to everyone.

National Licensed Guide Interpreter located in Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture. I used to work at a global investment bank in Tokyo but returned to my hometown to be close to nature. Yamagata is the perfect place to visit for those who love nature in rural area. Especially in Tsuruoka and its surrounding area that are nestled between the Sea of Japan and beautiful mountain ranges, we offer a unique cultural experience found nowhere else. For example, visiting Sokushinbutsu (Self-mummified monks) temples, climbing up 2,446 stone steps to the summit of a holy mountain, mystical encounter with various jellyfish, indulging in a rich culinary tradition, exploring diverse local crafts, and more! I love my hometown and would love to help visitors have unforgettable experiences during their journeys. Looking forward to meeting you! <How to get Tsuruoka from Tokyo> By JR, Joetsu Shinkanse from Tokyo to Niigata, then change to express train Inaho from Niigata to Tsuruoka. About 4 hours from JR Tokyo Station. By bus, night buses are available from Shinjuku area and Shibuya area, leaves around 10pm and arrive at Tsuruoka around 6am.

Konnichiwa! Hello! Hola! Nihao! Namaste! Anyoung Haseyo! Bonjour and Kuzu Zangpo La! My name is Yui, a Tokyo/Yokohama-based certified tour guide. Having been born and raised in the outskirts of Yokohama, I would call both the harbor city and the capital of Japan my neighborhood. What I love most about these areas is how each place has developed as a modern city while embracing its history and traditions. Being a globe-trotter myself (you can make a guess at places I have been), I enjoy every encounter with new culture/scenery/people and it would be my absolute pleasure if I could help you to experience the same and make the most of your stay in Japan! Do not hesitate to shoot me a message, any inquiry is welcome! Things I enjoy: art (paintings), spontaneous walk, sake, noodles, cute animals (furry, feathered and scaly!)

I have been in Tokyo(downtown side) since I was born. For three years I have traveled in 57 countries and worked in Bolivia for a year. When I traveled in Maya's ruin, I was really impressed that my guide told me not only the information about the ruin but also how to live in Guatemala, how to earn and the political problem etc... A guide is a diplomatic entrance to the country, I think. From this experience, I would like to give you what I have to every customer. Having been worked as an elementary school teacher in Japan, though I know the educational issue as a strong point, now I work as a tour-conductor traveling around Tokyo area. I used to hike around the world, of course in Japan. Northern Japan Alpes, Southern Japan Alpes, Yatsugatake mountain range and Mt.Fuji. The highest one for me is Mount Cotopaxi in Ecuador with 5892m. Another strong point is that I can hike with you. Let us make unforgettable and precious moment during the tour! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tengo experiencia que he trabajado en Bolivia como un maestro de primaria. Hablo español y tengo Diploma de Español como Lengua Extranjera Nevel B1. Cuando viajé unos países en Latinoamérica, me impresionó su amabilidad de la gente local. Muchas veces estaba en apuros pero siempre los desconocidos me ayudaron. Además una guía profesional en una ruina de Guatemala me daban las informaciones no solo de la ruina también de la vida cotidiana. La experiencia me conduce a lo que querría hacer ahora. ¡Ojalá sea yo un guía quién les doy información que los clientes quieren! Ahora vivo en Tokio como un acompañante de autobus quién trabajo en los alrededores de Tokio. Cada día les llevo los clientes japoneses a los lugares turisticos a lo largo de la lista de recorrido. Monte Fuji, el mercado de pescado de Toyosu, Kamakura etc... Como un guía turistico, podría hacer un recorrido ajustando a su desea. También tengo experiencias del senderismo en Japón y en algunos países. El Cotopaxi de Ecuador es una montaña mas alta para mí con 5897m de la altura. Cada vez que tengo una vacación, suelo subir las montañas bajas y altas de Japón. ¡Hagamos una experiencia maravillosa durante este recorrido!

【Recommended for 1. business traveler or 2. family traveler with kids】 Welcome to Japan!!! My name is Takashi(Tak) and I am a BLEISURE guide(Business + Leisure) who can support you both business interpretation and your pleasure time. And I am licensed tour English guide in Japan. I love to travel. I've visited 80 countries for last 15 years. it is very exciting to know about different cultures, foods, life style in each country. I am addicted for it. One of my favorite city to stay is Tokyo. I am able to guide you both for the traditional part and the modern part in Tokyo. For the traditional part, I like Asakusa, Tsukiji fish market and Yanaka area to walk around. For the modern part, I like Harajuku and Akihabara because it is very original in Japan and you can find very specific culture only this area in the world. <1. For business traveler> Furthermore, I also welcome a guest who visits Japan for business purpose. You may have limited private time. You may make a stop only for 24 hours in Tokyo for transit of your flights. Within the limited time, you can enjoy Tokyo highlights in the evening & night with the professional local guide. In case you would have a business meeting with Japanese company, you may need to find a business interpreter for the meeting because many Japanese still can not speak in English frequently. I would offer you Bleisure tour(Business + Leisure) which you can combine business and leisure together in one day. You do not need to find a business interpreter separately. Regarding my business experience, I had worked for one of the biggest Japanese investment and trading company for 12 years. I have a lot of business experience build bridges between Japanese companies and foreign companies especially in USA, Europe and the Middle East. In 2012, I went Dubai to work as marketing and sales manager. I had worked there for about 4 years and I've done a lot of business negotiation. To be frank, Japanese business culture is unique compared to global standard. And if you are not used to doing business with Japanese companies, I believe you need a help. <2. For family traveler with kids> In the home, I am a father of 3 kids. My kids ages are 5 years old, 3 years old and 9 months old. I know how to arrange an itinerary with little kids. I welcome a guest with little kids. I can make the original and special tour for your family which kids can also enjoy. And if you have a baby stroller, it is very tricky to find out where an elevator is located at each subway and train station. With the professional local guide, you do not need to be troubled about this kind of issues. Thank you very much for reading my introduction. I hope to see you soon in Japan!

I was born and grew up in Wakayama prefecture. Since I was very young, I walked and run by motorcycle and car in the mountain region of Kii peninsula (Wakayama). I learned the nature of Wakayama well it’s tenderness and danger. I wish to make the only one trip for my customers. There are many natural and historical sites in Wakayama because of its unique geographical nature and the longest history in Japan. You can enjoy various type of trip as ancient road walk, spectacular landscapes of the coastlines, suspension bridges, mountains and hot springs.

Hi, I'm Yumi. I'm a government-certified tour guide. I was born and grew up in Tokyo. So far, I've guided guests from more than 15 countries, and always enjoyed working for them. I am a sociable person and love to meet and talk with people with different cultural backgrounds. I think the greatest charm of Tokyo is that the old and the new coexist with each other. Visit a beautiful traditional Japanese garden with skyscrapers towering at the back, or enjoy tranquility of a big forest surrounding a historical shrine, which lies just next to a very modern and fashionable street! What’s more, Tokyo can meet diverse needs of tourists. Whatever interest you have in – art, garden, anime, architecture and so on, you’ll find the right place for you. I am eager to show you around this fascinating city and make your visit an experience of a lifetime, so see you soon in Tokyo!
