Kyoko K.

Hi, I’m Kyoko. I was born and raised in Kobe. After completing my education, I spent 25 years in London, where I taught piano and enjoyed a wonderful life in England. I returned to Kobe a couple of years ago to care for my elderly father and began a new chapter in my career as a tour guide. Kobe has recovered beautifully since the major earthquake 30 years ago. It is much quieter than Kyoto and Osaka, making it a perfect place to relax and enjoy your time in Japan. I would love to show you the beautiful scenery of Kobe, from its mountains to its seaside. My typical tour starts at the herb gardens on the mountaintop, continues through the city center and Chinatown, and finishes at Harborland, a famous spot for photos and stunning views. It would be my pleasure to help you create wonderful memories in Kobe. I look forward to welcoming you on my tour.

Carl J.

Would you like to walk through the streets of Seoul and experience Korea’s modern history? Hello, I’m Carl, a government-licensed English tour guide. I have also completed PhD coursework in Modern Korea–Japan Relations History. It’s my honor to present the Seoul Modern History Walking Tour, and I look forward to welcoming you. I’m sure we’ll have a meaningful—and enjoyable—time together. Seoul is a vibrant city filled with modern shopping districts and impressive skyscrapers, yet it still preserves traditional palaces and historic sites. It is truly a place where the past and present coexist. I offer two different types of tours. In one tour, I will show you a different side of the city—one rich with stories of diplomacy, reform, imperial change, and the foreign communities that shaped Seoul from the late 19th century to the early 20th century. In the other tour, I will explain how the Korean people’s aspirations for independence developed during the Japanese colonial period from the early to mid-20th century. Together, we will explore how Korea navigated modernization and global challenges during a pivotal moment in its history. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I am always committed to providing a thoughtful and satisfying tour experience. I look forward to meeting you soon and helping you make the most of your precious time in Seoul.

I spent my formative years between Japan and the U.S. giving me a naturally bicultural outlook and global sensibility.

I live in Yamanashi Prefecture in Japan. I am a certified National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter in English. I acquired my certificate in February 2017. I can guide in the areas of Yamanashi, Nagano, and the Greater Tokyo Area and more depending on your interests. Yamanashi is located at the base of Mount Fuji, so it is easy to visit there.

I will offer customized-private tours designed around your interests, and I will adapt the tours and make them flexible to fit your needs. Each tour will be enjoyable and memorable.

Arashiyama is home to the World Heritage Site Tenryu-ji Temple. This area was a villa district for aristocrats during the Heian period, so it features a beauty where nature and residences are integrated.

Maki T.

Hello, my name is Maki. I’m a licensed English-speaking tour guide based in Nagoya. Having lived in Poland, I understand what it feels like to enter a new culture and want to grasp the deeper meaning behind what you see. In my tours, I focus on how Japan’s samurai era continues to influence modern life — from the way people think and work to the sense of order, humility, and attention to detail seen across the country. I also connect these values to Nagoya’s history, craftsmanship, and industry — from the Tokugawa legacy and samurai heritage, to Toyota’s engineering culture and local food traditions such as miso and sake. If you want to understand Japan not only through famous sites, but through the mindset and culture behind them, I would be honored to guide you. I’ll make sure your time here will be unforgettable and full of “wow” moments.

I will be happily suggesting you a full customized tour in these 3 cities. Please send me a request, just customize your request. This is just a suggestion, but If you are very interested in history and would like to take an original tour in Lisbon, we can visit various archaeological sites in Lisbon (such as Roman cisterns, city walls, and Iron Age neighborhoods), sometimes walking through unexpected places, such as shopping malls or under hotels, banks, churches, and even bathrooms (public, clean)... History is where you least expect it. Thank you!
