Japan
I was born in Osaka and spent my life there until I graduated from university. Thereafter, I moved from Osaka to Yokohama to find employment in the City of Yokohama, and worked there as a city official for more than 30 years. In the City of Yokohama, I was mainly in charge of city planning and international exchange programs with foreign cities, both of which were instrumental for me to expand perspective to know Japan. Now, after nearly ten years' guide experience, I still continue the efforts to become a good guide.

Je m’appelle Tatsuko. Je suis née à Osaka et en ce moment j’habite au nord de la préfecture de Nara, où il y a plein de temples et sanctuaires. Les statues bouddhiques m’intéressent beaucoup, Les cerfs toujours vous attendent. Osaka, ma ville natale, est connu comme capitale de gastronomie. J’aime beaucoup flâner dans les rues, appréciant des bâtiments. Voulez-vous visiter le Château, des jardins japonais, des bâtiments modernes et contemporains dans la ville? Kyoto est la capitale du tourisme au Japon. Saviez-vous que la ville de Kyoto se trouve à côté d’Osaka ou de Nara? Ça fait à peu près d’une heure en train. J’aimerais vous offrir une excellente experience comme guide officielle du Japon.

Hi, thank you for checking my profile! My name is Yuki. I live in Kyoto. I was born in Wakayama, but have lived in many places in Kansai area. I also have the experience of studying abroad in America for 4 years, so I speak English fluently. As for my hobbies, I like to play the piano, play gymnastics, and read books. I also teach Japanese part time so feel free to ask me any questions about Japanese language too! I'm a friendly person so you can talk to me like your friend. I love talking to people with many different cultural backgrounds and learning new things from them. I think Japan is such a beautiful country and I'm excited to share a little bit of it with you in our tour and contribute to making your day memorable!

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. It is my heartfelt goal to share the allure of this region with people from all corners of the globe. So, prepare for an unforgettable journey as we embark on an adventure together. I look forward to meeting you!

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

Konnichiwa, welcome to JAPAN!! My name is MITSURU and I am a tour guide for foreign visitors, especially in TOKYO and Kanto region (Hakone / Mt. Fuji view, Kamakura, Yokohama etc), eventually Kansai region (Osaka, Kyoto, Nara) and Central Japan (Nakasendo trail, Matsumoto, Takayama, Shirakawa-go, Kanazawa), Okinawa, Hokkaido etc. Japan is a long country and has so many beautiful places to be visited! There are 47 prefectures or provinces, from Hokkaido in the north (near Siberia, Russia) to subtropical Okinawa (my ancestors land) near Taiwan. I love traveling, hiking, ride a bicycle, meeting people from all over the world, ice cream etc :) I'd say Tokyo is so unique city because it is not only the political capital but also the largest Japanese city for tourism, entertainment, business, shopping and gastronomy. Since 2013, when Tokyo was chosen to host 2020 Olympic Games, this metropolis is becoming even better. I'd love to guide you based on 3e: entertainment, education and experience, so as most as possible, let's learn about the past, let's enjoy the present and let's get excited with the future! Looking forward to seeing you in JAPAN!! Arigatou gozaimasu for reading my self introduction. * If you have special places to visit in JAPAN, please send me a message with your desired date(s); nr of people; any restrictions you may have etc. MITSURU JAPAN

Greeting from Izu ,shizuoka prefecture, a city just 1.5 hours from Tokyo. I am Hiroko Inamura, a national licensed tour guide. I was born in Numazu and live in Nirayama, located at north part of Izu Peninsula, surrounded by beautiful seas and mountains, and at the top of it all, Mt.Fuji: a truly lovely and amazing Mountain. I am lucky to see Mt.Fuji from my room everyday ! Since I studied and lived in Perth, Australia and Barcelona, Spain, and traveled over 35 countries, I am fluent in English and do speak Spanish that is very useful fie me to communicate with guests from abroad. I love travelling and look for something different and special to introduce for my guests that they haven't experienced before. Izu is the place if you want something more! And yet we Japanese seem to have kept it to ourselves: you see only few foreign visitors here! Visiting the top and center of Izu areas, you constantly meet Japanese traditional and rural world , visit to a wasabi water-field, it's great fun!- and you can experience "wasabi picking " or "wasabi pickle making " during the season, you can do "Japanese tea picking" , ,wearing the special traditional tea picking Kimono! There are many more attractive sits such as Banjo Fall, Joren fall in Amagi and lots more to make your day memorable. This area is great during the seasons of autumn leaves and cherry blossom. And what you can't miss our on is a visit to the oldest hot-springs resort in Izu: the really beautiful Shuzenji. Walking around the town , , ,exploring historical and traditional sits and the grate Bamboo Grove Path remind you of "the good old days". This is the town described as "the little Kyoto "and designated as one of the best visiting place in Japan by the Michelin guide book. I have just mentioned a few of many other attractive places in this area . I am very happy to introduce you what you can see,do and eat here in Izu and its surrounding areas and I promise you to have wonderful memories !

I'm a loving father, avid yogi, and adventurer. As a Latin American living in Tokyo, I see Tokyo with a fresh pair of eyes each day- even though I have been here for years. The city has allowed me to tap into my spirituality and hone my cooking skills (Japanese cuisine is a whole other ball game!). It has also introduced me to breathtaking stories and mysteries you have to experience. Let's have fun discovering that and all the other wonders of the city together, from a local perspective.

Hello, my name is Seiji, a licensed guide interpreter. I am a native of Tokyo and registered guide with the “Tokyo City Guide Club”. I love outdoor activities and I am always inspired by the nature and culture of our country. Tokyo has been the center and the capital of Japan for more than 400 years. The city is built around the former residence of shogun, now the Imperial Palace, and has gone through damages and recoveries. It is a very modernized city and continues to add new attractions. I would like to take you to some popular tourist attractions and show you around our cultural tradition that has been ingrained in our lifestyle. I am looking forward in seeing you soon.

Kyoto has many traditional aspects but also it has beautiful and kawaii (lovely) charm. Traditional shrines and temples, cafes, book stores, music, knick-knack stores, pastries...

Hi, I am Motoko. I am a national licensed tour guide and also have the certificate of travel service supervisor. I do the tour from a small group of 2-5 people to a large group over 30 people. Before becoming a tour guide, I was working as a weather forecaster for more than 10 years. But I changed my career since I like to communicate with people. Now I know it was the right decision! I really enjoy offering tours to poeple from all over the world. What do you expect from Tokyo? There’re lots of attractions in Tokyo: Historical spots, beautiful gardens, high-end shopping areas, local markets, busy train stations, etc. Of course you can enjoy good food, too! I am sure Tokyo will satisfy your expectation and I would be glad to be your guide. I look forward to seeing you here in Tokyo! ＊ The tour for consective days is not offered.

(English) ↓Spanish version down below ↓ My name is Toshi Nakahara. I am certified tour guide for both English and Spanish. I have lived in USA for 15 years in total starting from Iowa when I was in a high school as an AFS exchange student and later in Honolulu, Los Angeles, San Francisco and finally in New Jersey as a business man. I learned Spanish at Osaka University for Foreign Studies for 4 years and lived in Mexico, Venezuela and Ecuador for more than 5 years in total, and travelled some other countries in Latin America and Spain. I am a certified Wine sommelier and quite knowledgeable about Japanese Sake. So in addition to the regular tour of metropolitan Tokyo area and its vicinity, I can take you to very authentic and popular restaurants where you can enjoy wonderful world of Japanese cuisine with some local drink. That is my strength, so to speak. I can do one day or half day tour for weekends for Metropolitan Tokyo area, but also can cater to the needs of people who want to be guided to some deep, casual and reasonably priced "Izakaya" style drinking places during weekdays after 5:00PM if I am open. I can also guide, if schedule allows, Yokohama, Kamakura, Hakone, Mt. Fuji vecinity, Nikko and some popular places in western Japan like Kyoto, Nara and Osaka as I lived there for many years. I enjoy talking about many topics such as Japanese culture and of your own country. My motto is to make visiting friends from overseas experience memorable moments and make them feel at home and happy. (Ahora en español) Me llamo Toshi Nakahara. Yo soy el guía turística certificado de Español y de Ingles. Estudié la lengua española en la Universidad de Osaka para estudios extranjeros por 4 años y un año en la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. Después, tuve la oportunidad de trabajar en Venezuela por 2 años y en Ecuador por 2 años. Soy también sommelier certificado de vino y tengo bastante conocimiento en Sake. No solamente poder guíar los visitantes extranjeros por la zona popular de Tokio y su vecinidad durante los dias al fin de la semana, puedo tambien introducir a unos bares o tavernas típicos conocidos como "Izakaya" en los días de la semana después de 5 de la tarde. Me gusta explicar sobre muchos temas culturales del Japón y conocer culturas de sus países. Mi motto es servirles a ustedes en la forma mas agradable y memorable haciendo todo lo posible para que sean ustedes feliz y satisfecho. "Con un poco de vino, me siento divino"
