Mayumi S.

Let me make your trip to Japan a unique moment. I will offer you an experience based on your specific needs and interests. From the local's favorite restaurants to the main tourist icons, for you, I will open the gates of the most interesting places. I am a professional, government-lincensed tour guide, and an active member of the most influent tour guide association in Japan.

I have leaned extensively about the history and culture of the places we visit so I can share every detail with you. In true Japanese fashion, from our initial contact to our farewell, everything will be clear, precise and unambiguous. Have a nice journey and feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Naoko S.

Hi, I am Naoko . Please call me NAOKO. I was born in Tokyo but I have lived in Sendai, Osaka, Nagoya and Kobe because of job transfer of my husband. Because of that, I have travelled almost all over Japan. When I was junior in the university, I went to Los Angeles to study English for one and a half month. I met and talk to many foreigners there. We coluld exchange information about own country.To understsnd their country was interesting. I like to travel. I went to the U.S., England, France, Hungry, Belgium, Australia, Veitnam and so on. I got tourist guide licence to introduce Japan. I have been doing as a volunteer guide in four years. I notice enjoyment to contact with foreigners through guide service.

Nao O.

Hello! I'm Nao. I was born and raised in Himeji, which is famous for the Himeji Castle (egret castle). I'm guiding in Kyoto, Osaka, Nara and Hyogo (especially Kobe and Himeji). I'd been in the US for three years attending a university. During the stay I went to the Yellow Stone twice, and visited California. I took a summer French class for a month in Canada, so I speak French a little. I love travelling. I went to many places in Japan. I visited Hokkaido, Okinawa, Hiroshima, Kanazawa, Nikko, Mt. Fuji and so on. I love music ― pops, rock, gospel and classical music. I'm a fan of Beethoven. Some day I'd like to go to Vienna and visit his houses and the forest, where he composed "the Pastoral Symphony". There are lots of attractions in Japan. You can visit shrines, temples, deer park etc. You can enjoy USJ, river cruise, anime museum, Japanese sake, Onsen and of course delicious Japanese dishes. Let's have fun together !

Takao M.

Hi, I'm Takao. I like walking with my friends in the mountains, along rivers and beaches, and visiting historical places and museums. Usually, after enjoying these places, we take a dip in hot springs and drink beer. As a guide, however, I'll take up places easy to walk around. I assume not many people from abroad are prepared for sweating activities. If you like, though, I can modify my plan, connecting with a short hiking, hot bath and a drinking place.

Toichi N.

I'm Toichi. Please call me Ichi, which means No.1 in Japanese. Or you can remember it as 'itchy' Ichi. Born and bred in Osaka, I would like to introduce you to this extremely diverse and interesting city. I have travelled extensively around the globe, and I think one of the greatest pleasure of travelling abroad is meeting people who have different ways of lifestyle and thinking. Japan may not be an easy place for tourists to get to know its people. So, I hope to help you to get closer to meet real Japan and Japanese people. I would like to show you how ordinary Japanese people live and think. And I am happy if you could have a day of unique cultural experiences which you can look back to in ten years' time!

Noriko I.

Hello, I’m Noriko, certified national tour guide. I live in Wakayama prefecture, where there are a lot of nature and historic places, hot springs and delicious food, such as seafood and fruits. Wakayama stretches from north to south on the Kii Peninsula, however, it takes only about one hour from Kansai International Airport to the north part of Wakayama prefecture. I’m sure I can help you learn Japanese culture, history, and traditions, and fully enjoy traveling in Wakayama. I'm looking forward to seeing you soon!

Katie T.

Dear Travelers ! I'm KAORU. (English name : Katie) I love mountain climbing as you see in my photo and also traveling. Now I'm teaching English at vocational school as a part-time teacher, but used to be a tour guide to take Japanese tourists abroad. Why did I become a national certificated guide ? I'd love to introduce real Japan to you foreign people. I think there are a wide variety of people, customs, places, foods ... in your country. Vice versa in my country ! I'd like you to meet real Japan not only Tokyo or Kyoto but also suburbs and countryside. Please come to visit Japan and see me ! Find different sides of Japan !

Aida M.

Hi there! My name is Aida, I am a local tour guide based in Yerevan. Having grown up in Armenia's capital, I have always been fascinated by the country's long and rich history, unique traditions, and the stories that shape the life around the region. I enjoy helping visitors gain a deeper understanding of Armenia through local experiences. The best tours, in my opinion, are informative but not overwhelming, and tailored to the interests of each guest. Some travelers are passionate about history, others are curious about culture, daily life, architecture, art, or food, and I enjoy adapting the experience accordingly. My goal is to create an enjoyable and memorable experience while offering an authentic local perspective on Armenia and its people. I look forward to meeting you and sharing the stories, history, and character of this remarkable country.

Takuma K.

Hi! Do you want to explore the real Japanese town where most tourists never get to see? Of course, I can guide you through famous places like the Peace Park and Miyajima. But my favorite experience is taking people to a hidden local town just 10 minutes from Hiroshima Station — a place where samurai once stayed, where everyday Japanese life still quietly exists, and where you might even naturally meet and talk with local Japanese people. I’ve lived in this town for more than 20 years, so I accidentally became a local Hiroshima expert xD Because I actually run these tours regularly, I know how to create experiences that feel personal, authentic, and memorable — not just another sightseeing checklist. Many guests tell me the tour became one of the most meaningful parts of their trip to Japan. If you want more than “tourist Japan,” I’d love to show you the real one.

Robert B.

Welcome all! My name is Robert, and I’ve lived in Japan for over 20 years here in Tochigi Prefecture, the home of Nissan performance heritage and some of the most beautiful driving roads in Japan. This experience was created from two passions: the Nissan Fairlady Z and the incredible scenery, culture, and atmosphere of Nikko. Most visitors only see Nikko in a rush as a crowded day trip from Tokyo. I wanted to create something different. A slower, more immersive experience where guests can truly feel the mountains, the roads, the atmosphere, and the spirit of Japan from behind the wheel of an iconic Japanese sports car. Our flagship car is the Nissan Fairlady Z NISMO, built here in Tochigi and designed to connect driver and road in a way very few modern cars can. This is not a race. It’s not about speed. It’s about the feeling of driving through the cedar roads of Nikko, climbing Irohazaka, discovering hidden places, enjoying local food, and experiencing Japan in a more personal and unforgettable way. For guests joining the 5-person group experience, the goal is simple: great roads, great scenery, great conversation, and memories you will never forget. Whether you are a lifelong car enthusiast or simply curious about Japanese car culture, I hope this experience becomes one of the highlights of your time in Japan. Feel the Mountain Spirit!

My expertise combines international experience and strong local knowledge. I lived in Australia, where I developed English skills and learned cultural differences. This helps me explain Japanese culture clearly to international guests. I was born and lived 10 minutes from Oya. I know the area well, including its history and hidden spots. For over 7 years, I have guided international visitors and shared local culture. I focus on clear communication, safety, and well-organized experiences.

Kokoro O.

Welcome to Japan! I'm Koko, a language coach, local foodie, and proud mom of a 5-year-old boy based in Osaka. With over 12 years of experience teaching and coaching both English and Japanese, I’ve always loved communication and cultural exchange. Having lived and studied in five different countries—the US, Finland, Ireland, Switzerland, and Australia—I deeply understand global cultures and the needs of international travelers. Whenever I travel abroad, I always look beyond the famous tourist spots. I love connecting with local people and experiencing everyday life and culture. That passion naturally inspired me to become a host myself, and now I hope to share the same warm and authentic local experiences with travelers visiting my hometown. My local experiences are perfect for families, couples, and friends who want to enjoy authentic everyday culture in a relaxed and welcoming environment. Depending on your interests, we can enjoy cozy cultural experiences like trying Japanese calligraphy, tasting local wagashi sweets, exploring neighborhood supermarkets and 100-yen shops, making origami, playing traditional Japanese games, and discovering everyday Japanese culture together. Haven’t decided on your itinerary yet? No problem! Just send me a message, and we can create a relaxed and memorable day based on your interests and travel style. Let’s make your time in Osaka delicious, cozy, and unforgettable!

Surajan P.

My background in tourism, along with my studies in Nepalese History, Culture, and Archaeology, allows me to go beyond any standard sightseeing.I enjoy explaining the meaning behind traditions, the history hidden within temples and old streets, and the cultural details that many travelers would normally walk past without noticing. I’m also deeply connected to Nepal’s living heritage through music, local communities, and traditional storytelling.Playing the folk Nepali instrument Sarangi has given me another way to understand and share the spirit of Nepal beyond facts and dates. Rather than offering rushed, checklist-style tours, I focus on creating experiences that feel genuine, thoughtful, and rooted in real cultural understanding. Looking forward to show you around.
