Do you know Chiba? It’s right next to Tokyo. You might know it as the place where Narita International Airport is located… but actually, it’s way more than that. Chiba has beautiful, historic cities that are fun to walk around. It is also known as a peaceful suburban area where many people spend weekends. I really know how to enjoy them. I'm proud to be a government-licensed tour guide and local with a great passion for sharing the wonders of the cities of Japan. As I have spent more than 25 years of my life in the Chiba and Tokyo area, I'm quite familiar with many of the attractions the area has to offer. It never stops surprising people, including me, a long-time local, with its blend of traditional and modern elements. I hope you will feel that excitement as well. Moreover, with a great deal of knowledge about Japan and a good sense of humor, our journey should be full of interesting and enjoyable stories and conversations. As a working mother of a little boy, for example, I am quite familiar with current situations and traditional events related to families in Japan today. Please let me know if you are curious about anything during your trip. I would be happy to help. I am very happy and excited to meet you soon. Thank you. Arigatou gozaimasu!

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 !

Aoi M.

Hello! My name is Aoi, and I live in Aichi Prefecture, Japan. I am a Japanese language teacher and have experience helping international visitors understand Japanese culture and daily life. I also worked as a public servant, where I assisted foreign residents in English. I love introducing the hidden charms of Nagoya and Inuyama, not only the famous sightseeing spots but also local food, history, and everyday Japanese culture. My tours are friendly, flexible, and personalized to your interests. Whether you would like to explore historical sites, enjoy local cuisine, practice Japanese conversation, or experience authentic local life, I would be happy to create a memorable tour for you. I look forward to helping you discover Japan from a local perspective! See you in Nagoya!

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!

Hana N.

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.

Aoi K.

Hello, I’m Aoi. Please call me “Aoi.” I was born and raised in Tokushima, and I’m excited to share the charm of this beautiful region. Centered around Tokushima City, I’ll introduce you to its history, culture, nature, and cuisine. When people think of Tokushima, they often think of the Awa Odori. Held every August, it is one of Japan’s largest dance festivals, with a history of over 400 years. With the famous chant, “The dancers are fools, and the watchers are fools. Both are fools alike, so why not dance?”, the whole city comes alive with energy. You can also see some of the world’s largest whirlpools in the Naruto Strait. From the walkway on the Great Naruto Bridge, you can enjoy spectacular views and experience the power of nature up close. Tokushima is also famous for indigo dyeing. During the Edo period, Awa Indigo spread across Japan and supported the region’s growth. In an indigo dyeing workshop, you can create your own unique item while experiencing traditional Japanese culture. For nature lovers, hiking on Mt. Bizan or Mt. Tsurugi is highly recommended. Mt. Bizan offers panoramic views of Tokushima City and the sea, while Mt. Tsurugi showcases Shikoku’s magnificent mountain scenery. Each season brings a different landscape to enjoy. If you visit Tokushima, I would be delighted to guide you. You can enjoy Tokushima’s nature, history, and food culture, including fresh seafood, Awa-O-Dori chicken, Tokushima ramen, and dishes made with sudachi citrus. The night view from Mt. Bizan is also one of Tokushima’s most iconic sights, loved by both visitors and locals. I look forward to sharing the charm of Tokushima with you.

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!

Surrounded by both the sea and the mountains, beautiful Shonan is a place where you can experience incredible food, culture, history, spirituality, art, and outdoor adventures. Many of its hidden gems are located away from train stations and are difficult—or even impossible—to reach by public transportation. As someone who was born and raised in Shonan, I’d love to take you beyond the typical tourist spots and introduce you to the area’s hidden treasures that only locals know. Traveling by car, we’ll explore authentic local routes that most visitors never get to see. Every tour is designed around the season, the weather, and your interests, making each experience unique.

Aiko K.

Hi, I’m Aiko! I love connecting with people and communicating in English, and that’s what led me to start this work. I’ve always wanted to interact with travelers directly and share the charm of the places I call home. While studying abroad, I often talked about Japan with people from different countries. Not only famous destinations like Tokyo and Kyoto, but also my hometown, Gunma, which I truly believe is a wonderful place worth discovering. I enjoy traveling around my local area even on my days off, and I’d love to share that side of Japan with you. I have studied abroad in the Philippines and later spent about a year and a half living mainly in Vancouver, Canada. During that time, I studied at a vocational school while gaining hands-on experience through internships such as cruise planning, SNS marketing, and English conversation programs for Japanese learners. I also worked part-time as a restaurant server, where I interacted with tourists on a daily basis. My goal is to offer experiences that make you think, “I want to come back to Japan again!” I’m really looking forward to meeting you and helping make your trip meaningful and enjoyable through fun conversations and shared experiences :)
