¡Hola! Soy MICHI, una fotógrafa amante de los viajes que habla español. Nací en Saitama, al oeste de Tokio, y crecí rodeada de naturaleza. Desde pequeña, me han interesado los países extranjero y me encanta explorar lugares hermosos y ciudades emocionantes. Estudié inglés en la universidad y me gradué en Literatura Inglesa. Trabajé en una empresa en el departamento de ventas internacionales utilizando inglés, pero decidí dejar el trabajo porque quería ver más del mundo. Viví un año en Seattle, Estados Unidos, donde descubrí el encanto del español hablado por personas de origen hispano. Me fascinaba el sonido de la lengua española. Al regresar a Japón, obtuve la certificación como profesora de japonés y me mudé a México, un país donde siempre había soñado hablar español. Trabajé como profesora de japonés y, fascinada por la belleza del paisaje mexicano, comencé a tomar fotografías. Finalmente viví allí durante casi 10 años. De nuevo en Japón, después de mi larga estancia en el extranjero, me di cuenta de la belleza de mi propio país y obtuve la certificación como guía turística para presentar Japón a los visitantes extranjeros. Mientras recorría todo Japón, tomé muchas fotos de paisajes (Algunas de las cuales exhibí en mi primera exposición en Tokio este verano, con gran éxito). Hace 6 años, decidí emprender y convertir mi pasión en mi trabajo. Durante la pandemia, con el aumento de emprendedores, perfeccioné mis habilidades como fotógrafa y he tomado más de 500 retratos. Después de la pandemia, he estado guiando y fotografiando a viajeros de habla hispana en Japón. Espero seguir capturando maravillosos recuerdos en Japón a través de mis fotografías. Estoy especialmente emocionada de compartir la belleza de Japón con visitantes de habla hispana. ¡Nos vemos en Japón!

I would be very glad to guide overseas tourists based on my various working experiences over 30 years in a general trading house, including overseas clients' guide in Japanese local cities, being aware of their interests and viewpoints learned through my engagement with various clients during my overseas assignments (10 years in total) and business trips to some 40 countries. During the past 10 years living in Akita City (northern Japan), I could greatly expand my outdoor activities such as trekking (not only green season but also winter snowshoe hiking), skiing, and experiencing various local traditional festivals, fireworks festival, hot spring lodges stay with local cuisines/Sake etc. I would very much like to share such joy with our valued overseas tourists!

Hello! My name is Simon. I’m a composer who recently moved from London to Kyoto. For many years I've been guiding sound walks and recording the unique sounds of places all over the world. Here in Kyoto, I offer tours where we slow down, walk together, and discover the city through its sounds — from temple bells and riversides to quiet backstreets. In a city where every visitor seeks the perfect photograph, I’m learning that Kyoto is often kindest to those who listen instead. I look forward to sharing this unique way of exploring the city with you! Message me if you have any questions or would like to book a customised sound walk.

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.

I can introduce and explain a lots of stuff about here to you . To talk about my career, I started to work at company Panasonic and after that , I walked on the career for Automotive component as sales working for American companies. I had education at Meiji University majoring Business Administration and was exchanged to University of Alberta in Canada. Though I walked in the field different from tourism, I was always aspired to talk about and promote Japan to foreign countries and people and wanted to be civil Ambassador for long time and became guide 2 years ago.
