Rie M.
I am Rie. I have been a guide for 3 years, a wine bar owner, and a horn player etc. I had lived in US, Guam and Switzerland and have been living in Shimonoseki since 2017. I love traveling, drinking and eating local foods, photographying, and meeting people and more! I started taking a lesson of Japanese Traditional dance because I am into Kabuki Theatre and Kimono. City Shimonoseki is very unique and still a hidden place in Japan from my perspective. Pedestrian tunnel under Kanmon strait was picked on the TV program "Great Railway Journey" by BBC in 2026, and I was a part of the program for 30 sec :) It is my pleasure to show you around and make your visit personal and memorable!! I am very flexible. Look forward to having you in the area!

Cade J.
Hi, I’m Cade, a local guide based in Chengdu. If you’re planning a trip to China and feel a bit confused about how things work here - don’t worry, that’s exactly where I come in. I help travelers explore Chengdu (and beyond) in a simple and relaxed way. No complicated plans, no rushing around - just a smooth trip where everything actually works. - Want to see the pandas without wasting half your day in queues? - Need help figuring out trains, tickets, or how to get around? - Or just prefer having someone local to make things easier? That’s basically what I do. Most of my guests are not looking for a “tour guide with a flag”, but someone who can: - plan your route properly and make the most of your time - help you avoid common travel problems and tourist traps - stay away from overly crowded tourist spots when possible - experience the real local culture, not just the surface - keep everything transparent with no hidden costs - make the whole trip feel easy and smooth I’m flexible with plans, so whether you already have an idea or have no clue where to start, we can figure it out together. Just send me a message and tell me what you’re thinking.

Machi S.
Hello, my name is Machiko! I was born in raised in Kanagawa Prefecture but also lived for 12 years in the United States. While living in California, many people showed me kindness and helped me to adjust to living abroad. Now that I am back in Japan, I want to "pay it forward" and return that kindness by sharing my local knowledge of Kanagawa to visitors from abroad. In Japanese, we have a word, "omotenashi", which means "hospitality". It is an important part of our culture to welcome our guests with warmth and sincerity. I can speak both English and Japanese, so I want to be more than just a personal tour guide; I want to help bridge our cultures, with respect and understanding, while sharing the beauty and local charms of Japan. Please consider me and we can explore my corner of Japan to learn about the culture, food and history of my home together!

My tours are designed to be engaging and flexible, tailored to your interests—whether you’re a history enthusiast, a food lover, or simply curious to explore everyday life in India. I believe travel is about connection, so I make sure every guest feels welcomed and immersed in the local culture. Join me, and let’s discover the charm of Bengaluru and Mysore together!

Japan
Fumina O.
Hello! I am Fumina, and I am a Prefectural Guide Interpreter in Toyama. I love exploring hidden places, traditional streets, local cafes, and unique spots that many tourists never discover on their own. Besides famous attractions, I can also introduce charming neighborhoods, beautiful scenery, local sweets, matcha experiences, and places that reflect everyday life in Toyama. My interest in guiding started when I was in high school. I had an opportunity to introduce Japanese culture in English as part of a class project, and I truly enjoyed sharing Japan with people from different backgrounds. That experience inspired me to become a guide and help visitors discover the charm of Japan for themselves. As a local woman, I enjoy sharing Toyama from a different perspective, including photogenic locations, cozy cafes, seasonal scenery, and cultural experiences that are especially popular with travelers looking for something more personal and authentic. I believe every traveler is different, so I always try to create a flexible and comfortable experience based on your interests, pace, and travel style. Whether you would like to visit major attractions or discover hidden gems known mainly to locals, I would be happy to help you create memorable experiences in Toyama. My tours are especially suitable for travelers who: • Prefer a relaxed and flexible experience rather than a fixed schedule • Want to discover places that are not usually found in guidebooks • Enjoy local cafes, Japanese sweets, matcha, and everyday culture • Love photography and beautiful scenery • Are interested in experiencing Toyama from a local perspective • Prefer traveling at their own pace and having a friendly local guide

Ondrej R.
Dear Travellers! My name is Ondrej and I have been living in Kyoto for six years. I’m currently conducting tours in English and Czech languages. My hometown is Prague, Czech Republic, but I have left it behind years ago to live in Japan forever. In my young years, I did a wide portfolio of various sports including soccer, futsal, skateboarding, cycling, boxing and athletics (both competition/ hobby level), so I can say that I am a sportsman. However, I reached my biggest successes at chessboard - playing the highest youth chess league of my country and finally attaining a chess coach licence. At the academic level, I studied Human Sciences combined with Natural Sciences at University. My primary goal is to satisfy your needs in a new city as for what you’d like to see. Based on a given venue, I focus on incorporating its meaning into a complete/ bigger picture of the whole culture and historical system. If you’re not sure, I’m always happy to build a convenient tour plan involving appropriate amount of walking and transfers. I have been raising my children in Kyoto for six years and realizing that traveling with children may sometimes be a challenge, I invite tours with children as well. I have experience working with and guiding people from all over the world. Kyoto is a precious Japanese artifact and it is filled with unique places and cultural values and heritages. Osaka offers a wide array of cultural meanings and cuisine delicacies, as well as hidden corners and pleasurable views. I also love to take my clients to cities of Nara and Uji as they are so important for understanding the core of Japanese soul. Please contact me to book, customize or just inquire regarding tours. Once you are ready, we can discuss which of yours or mines favorite places we visit. Until then, have a good day and travel safe wherever you go.
