Junko N.

Hi, I am Junko, a national licensed tour guide in English. I can also speak Italian to have a normal conversation. I was born and raised in Tokyo so I could say that I know Tokyo inside out. I believe Tokyo is a beautiful and traditional city as well as a modern and exciting city. In addition to famous tourist sites, there remain many attractions that are not well known among tourists.  I have had experiences of guiding foreign tourists as a volunteer guide for several years before becoming a licensed tour guide. So I can give you useful suggestions in traveling Japan. I truly like meeting people from different countries and cultures and sharing the fun of discovering Tokyo and its vicinity. I can always tailor the tour to fit your interests and prepare an itinerary so that your stay will be unforgettable. Why don’t you explore Tokyo with me? Please feel free to contact me at any time! I am looking forward to meeting you in Tokyo.

Masa M.

My company is a tour operator in the Arashiyama area of Kyoto City. The owner is Masahiko Miyake. Arashiyama is a very attractive town. I was born and raised in Kyoto, and now I live in the Arashiyama area. Therefore, I have more knowledge and confidence about this area than most people. 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.

Hiromi O.

I'm a National Licensed Guide Interpreter with over five years of experience, having guided more than 1,000 guests from around the world. Based in Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture, I offer tours that connect travelers with the rich nature, culture, and history of the region. Before becoming a guide, I worked at global investment banks in Tokyo, where I communicated daily in English with colleagues around the world. I later returned to my hometown to embrace a slower pace of life and reconnect with the natural beauty of this area. Yamagata is a wonderful destination for those who appreciate nature and rural charm. Tsuruoka and its surrounding area, nestled between the Sea of Japan and scenic mountain ranges, offer cultural experiences you won't find anywhere else. Highlights include visiting temples of Sokushinbutsu (self-mummified monks), climbing 2,446 stone steps to the summit of a sacred mountain, encountering the mystical world of jellyfish, enjoying a rich culinary heritage, exploring local crafts, and much more. I truly love my hometown and am passionate about helping visitors create unforgettable memories here. I look forward to meeting you and sharing the beauty and culture of Tsuruoka! <How to get Tsuruoka from Tokyo> By JR - Take the Joetsu Shinkansen from Tokyo to Niigata, then transfer to the Limited Express Inaho bound for Tsuruoka. The total journey takes about 4 hours from JR Tokyo Station. By bus - Overnight buses depart around 10 PM from Shinjuku and Shibuya in Tokyo, arriving in Tsuruoka around 6 AM. Please check the bus company’s website for details. By air - ANA operates direct flights between Haneda Airport and Shonai Airport approximately five times a day.

A bachelor in Tourism Management, I speak fluent English, Japanese, and Spanish. By guiding tourists throughout the Himalayan Region and the vibrant cities in Nepal, I have gained vast knowledge about the culture, language of the lifestyle of the local people. I promise to guide you best for any monuments and cities.

Kouhei N.

Hello, I'm Kouhei, a National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter. I'm originally from Tokyo, but since I love outdoor activities and wanted to live in a place surrounded by abundant nature, I moved to here in Nagano in 2015. I have traveled a lot of places in Japan and eventually decided to live in Nagano. Nagano prefecture is sometimes described as "a roof of Japan" since most of its part are covered with high mountain range. Because of that, the area gets lots of snow every winter. It makes the place's nature and culture different from other areas in Japan. I am also a Mountain Trekking guide and a Cycling Guide as well as English translator guide.. I want to guide you to super beautiful yet lesser known places! I am very flexible, so please let me know your requests for the guided tour. Let's explore the "Hidden Gem" of Japan together :) (for example) Walking Tour : Matsumoto Castle, Zenkoji Temple, Togakushi Shrine, Obuse Town,etc Mountain Hiking: Beginners to Intermediates (Northern Alps, Yatsugatake, etc) Cycling Tours : Beginners to Intermediates (North Nagano Area), E Bikes tour available. Other Specials :Snow Monkey, Picking Wild Vegetables and Cooking Tempura together, Night Cherry Blossom Viewing, Visiting Sake Winery, Snow Shoeing in National Park, etc

Yuta T.

Hello! I’m Yuta from Fukuoka, Japan! I was born and raised in Fukuoka, and through my travels abroad, I realized how special and beautiful Japan really is. That inspired me to share the charm of my country with visitors from all over the world. I’m still learning English, but I will do my very best to make your trip enjoyable, comfortable, and full of great memories.

As a mother raising a young child, I also understand the needs of families traveling with children. I can help you find family-friendly places, child-friendly restaurants, and make your experience comfortable and enjoyable for both parents and kids. I am not a historian or a professional lecturer.

Akari U.

Hi, I'm Akari! Your local guide for Kamakura, Enoshima, and Yokohama. Before settling down in beautiful, historical Kamakura, I lived in Tokyo and Yokohama for over 10 years, giving me a deep understanding of both big-city energy and coastal charm—nestled between the ocean and mountains, which I love the most! As I used to teach Japanese, I love bridging cultural gaps and sharing the "Why" behind our customs and traditions. For me, guiding isn't just about hitting the famous sightseeing spots—it's about giving you those "Aha!" moments through our rich history and customs. As a local, I'm obsessed with exploring hidden gems outside the capital. Whether it's a quiet bamboo forest in Kamakura, a stunning sunset spot in Enoshima, or a cozy local cafe and eatery, I can't wait to share my favorite places with you. What I offer: ・Fully customized private tours tailored to your pace, interests, and curiosity. Feel free to send a message. Let’s make your Japan trip unforgettable. See you soon!

Kalid E.

Welcome to Osaka! My beautiful city that is sure to please visitors of all ages and interests. With its stunning scenery, vibrant culture, and delicious food, Osaka is a must-visit destination for anyone traveling to Japan. I'm Khalid from Morocco.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

I spent many years in the automotive industry and international consulting, including extensive time living and working in the United States. While I am very comfortable hosting business executives, I truly love sharing the "heart of Japan" with families and senior travelers. I enjoy making my tours feel like a walk with a knowledgeable friend—whether we are discussing the latest design trends or the deep history of a hidden temple. My goal is to bridge the gap between cultures with a smile, ensuring that every guest, from busy professionals to curious grandkids, feels welcome and inspired.

Kanae W.

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!
