Akiko W.

Hello! My name is Akiko from Gifu prefecture. I am a National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter. I hold the Domestic Tour Manager Certification. I have guided in Gifu prefecture and Aichi prefecture. Gifu city has a beautiful river 'Nagara river' and Mt. Kinka which has Gifu castle on the top. (I am sorry, but Gifu Castle is currently closed for renovation.) At the foot of the mountain , there are many places to visit such as parks, a temple having a big image of Buddha, and a street preserving the historic atmosphere. At Gifu Castle Rakuichi, you can enjoy local food and shop for souvenirs unique to Gifu. Seki City is a small city but so famous for its cutlery. Seki City is the best place to buy high-quality knives. At Japanese sword museum in Seki, you can see authentic Japanese swords! This year, 2026, Seki City has Seki Cutlery Festival on October 10th and 11th. There are many exciting events, including a Japanese sword-forging demonstration(A reservation is required.) The huge cutlery sale is also something you won't want to miss! Mino City next to Seki City is well known for its hand made Japanese paper 'Hon Minoshi' designated as intangible cultural asset by UNESCO . You can try traditional paper making. Takayama and Shirakawago are perfect places for those who want to experience traditional Japan. Nagoya is a great place to experience both samurai culture and modern Japan. Nagoya's delicious local cuisine is another attraction. Gujo Hachiman is a charming mountain town with crystal-clear rivers and a peaceful atmosphere. Why not try Gujo Odori, one of Japan's most famous Bon dances, or experience making realistic food samples? I can create a tour tailored to your interests and preferences. Please feel free to ask me when you need information about Japan. I will do my best so that your tour is enjoyable and memorable. Thank you for reading my introduction.

Hello！ I am Takako Takata. I was born in Kyoto and grew up in other several districts in Japan where I was attracted by each place's feature. I started the tour guiding in 2009 in which I introduce interesting and unique spots to tourists. I love to share the marvelous time and moment with people through tours. In Japanese, we have a wonderful phrase expressing such moment and we call it "Ichigo Ichie". It means we have to treasure every encounter, a once-in- a-lifetime-encounter that is , as it may not recur again. This word came from the spirit of tea ceremony. Anyway, let us enjoy extraordinary tours in Tokyo together, shall we ?

Japan

Nahomi O.

Hello! I’m a local guide based in the Miura Peninsula, a beautiful coastal area just south of Tokyo. I’ve been living here for nearly 10 years, surrounded by the sea, fields, and a peaceful way of life. The Miura Peninsula has many unique towns. Kamakura is an old capital where Japan’s first samurai government began. Yokosuka has long been a base for the Japanese Navy, and today it is a special mix of American and Japanese naval cultures. Misaki & Jogashima (Miura City) is a quiet fishing and farming town, very different from busy Tokyo. Hayama is a beautiful town with a summer house of the Japanese Imperial Family. Through my tours, I want to show not only the famous places but also everyday life in Japan—especially how people live in small towns outside the big city. I hope you can feel the calm, kindness, and beauty of local life. I’d love to show you the slower, more local side of Japan. Let’s explore together!

Pablo D.

Hi everyone ! This is Pablo , I’m a passionate traveler, storyteller, and local guide originally from Chile. With a professional background in environmental sciences and over 15 years of life on the road, I’ve lived in places like Australia and explored cultures across the globe, from the U.S. to Brazil. But wherever I go, I carry a deep love for my roots, my culture, and the stories that make each corner of Chile so uniquely vibrant. Today, I dedicate myself to what I love most: connecting with people and sharing unforgettable experiences through personalized, authentic tours.

That’s where I stand apart: empathy is my compass. I’m deeply passionate about Chilean wine, traditional food, and local crafts and I bring that love into every experience I create. The places I’ll show you aren’t just beautiful , they come alive through a local lens, full of flavor, history, and genuine connection.
