Tetsuji Y.

Hello everyone. I am Tetsuji. I worked as a public servant in the local government for 35 years. I belonged to the department of Redevelopment, Town-Landscaping, Preserving historical areas and Architectural Guidance. (I have a national 1st-class architect license.) I devoted myself to revitalizing the city by making plans and improving infrastructure for citizens. Gifu is located in central Japan near Nagoya. As just being the crossroads of the West and the East, there are many unique attractions that are hard to discover in hectic big cities like Tokyo or Kyoto. I had a hand in restoring and preserving some of them throughout my career and want to introduce them to tourists from abroad. That’s why I became a guide-interpreter in Gifu. I also enjoyed traveling around the world. My favorite part of each trip was walking around the city and talking with local residents. Traveling has taught me lots of things during my lifetime. Now, I would like to help others have similar experience in Japan. Shall we enjoy fantastic journey in Gifu?

I want to introduce UNESCO-listed Kyeongju, a city of culture and history. I have traveled to Jeju Island more than several ten times. I also want to introduce Jeju Island. My clients can go anywhere they want in South Korea. There are many well-preserved cultural heritage sites with a long history in Korea, and they can also experience the convenience of fast-developing Seoul. Come and visit Korea.

Yuki I.

Hallo, ich bin Yuki. Geboren und aufgewachsen in Japan, später nach Deutschland gezogen. Zwischen 1998 und 2021 habe ich in Deutschland gelebt und dort die beste Zeit meines Lebens verbracht. Deutschland ist für mich sozusagen meine zweite Heimat mit vielen schönen Erinnerungen. Als erfahrene Simultandolmetscherin für Deutsch und Japanisch (seit 16 Jahren) bewege ich mich ständig zwischen zwei Kulturen. Deshalb freue ich mich umso mehr, Ihnen nun mein Heimatland in Ihrer Sprache näherbringen zu können. Das Schöne an einer persönlichen Guide-Tour ist, dass sie ganz nach Ihren Wünschen gestaltet werden kann. Zögern Sie also nicht, mir Ihre Wünsche mitzuteilen! Und noch etwas: Entschuldigen Sie, wenn ich manchmal ein wenig Schwäbisch spreche – den Grund erfahren Sie während meiner Tour! -------------------------------------------------------------- I was born and raised in Japan and later moved to Germany. From 1998 to 2021, I lived in Germany. For me, Germany is like a second home, full of wonderful memories. As an experienced simultaneous interpreter for German/Japanese (for 16 years) and English/Japanese (for 5 years) , I am constantly moving between cultures. That’s why I’m even more excited to introduce you to my home country—in your language! The great thing about a private guided tour is that it can be tailored to your preferences. So please don’t hesitate to let me know what you’d like to see and experience! I’m looking forward to guiding you on my tour!

Michiyo N.

¡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!

Yosshi S.

Thank you for visiting my page. I will guide you to the 3 ancient capitals of Osaka, Nara, and Kyoto, which housed the Imperial Palace for 1200 years, starting in the 7th century. I grew up in Osaka, studied urban and transportation planning in Kyoto, and worked for national and local governments as an urban planning expert for 20 years. My goal was to create cities where citizens can live safely and comfortably, and which captivate tourists to stimulate the local economy. I developed urban policies and construction projects. During this time, I visited and researched unique cities in Japan and abroad (90 cities in 30 countries), exchanging ideas with local experts on preserving historic assets. I use my extensive urban development experience and knowledge of cities in Japan and abroad to uncover the hidden charms of the 3 ancient capitals and share them with international tourists, working as a guide. In the 3 ancient capitals, the Imperial Palace was relocated 15 times, and each time a new capital was built, with court nobles and monks accompanying His Majesty the Emperor. Knowing the history of these cities' development, we will come to appreciate that the townscape before us is the result of the strong will of many people. The 3 cities are within an hour's train ride of each other, and the transportation network is well-developed. I will create a Customized Tour that will remain in your photos and memories forever, within the limits of your time and energy. I look forward to hearing from you.
