Mayumi S.

I am Mayumi, a national tour guide in English based in Tokyo. I love Tokyo! I was born and raised here. I studied tourism, and worked in London and New York, but I decided to come back to share my passion of Japan by helping visitors to discover my beloved country. Let me make your trip to Japan a unique moment. I will offer you an experience based on your specific needs and interests. From the local's favorite restaurants to the main tourist icons, for you, I will open the gates of the most interesting places. I am a professional, government-lincensed tour guide, and an active member of the most influent tour guide association in Japan. Hiring a professional licensed tour guide is the safest way to make sure your experience to be a memorable one. I have leaned extensively about the history and culture of the places we visit so I can share every detail with you. In true Japanese fashion, from our initial contact to our farewell, everything will be clear, precise and unambiguous. Have a nice journey and feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Sumiyo T.

Bonjour Mesdames et Messieurs, Je m’appelle Sumiyo et suis guide-interprète diplômée. C’est avec joie que je vous accueille dans ma ville natale de NAKATSUGAWA située à l’extrémité des Alpes centrales du Japon dans la préfecture de Gifu où je suis revenue après avoir enseigné à l’Université de Kagoshima. Or j’ai souvent éprouvé ici le regret de voir que les touristes se contentaient de suivre uniquement les informations de notoriété publique. Afin de rendre le chaleureux accueil que j’avais reçu en France lors de mes études de philosophie durant environ six ans, ainsi que dans d’autres pays que j’ai visités, je me suis sentie appelée à modifier cette situation. Avant d’aller à MAGOME, je vous conseille de descendre du bus un peu avant à la 44 e ville étape : à OCHIAI pour faire des expériences palpitantes et inoubliables. Ensuite selon votre choix, je vous accompagnerai à MAGOME et TSUMAGO, afin de découvrir leurs sites historiques et littéraires. Je serai heureuse de pouvoir partager et approfondir avec vous vos impressions et vos expériences. C’est avec impatience que j’attends votre venue ! A bientôt !

We coluld exchange information about own country.To understsnd their country was interesting. I like to travel. I went to the U.S., England, France, Hungry, Belgium, Australia, Veitnam and so on.

Nao O.

Hello! I'm Nao. I was born and raised in Himeji, which is famous for the Himeji Castle (egret castle). I'm guiding in Kyoto, Osaka, Nara and Hyogo (especially Kobe and Himeji). I'd been in the US for three years attending a university. During the stay I went to the Yellow Stone twice, and visited California. I took a summer French class for a month in Canada, so I speak French a little. I love travelling. I went to many places in Japan. I visited Hokkaido, Okinawa, Hiroshima, Kanazawa, Nikko, Mt. Fuji and so on. I love music ― pops, rock, gospel and classical music. I'm a fan of Beethoven. Some day I'd like to go to Vienna and visit his houses and the forest, where he composed "the Pastoral Symphony". There are lots of attractions in Japan. You can visit shrines, temples, deer park etc. You can enjoy USJ, river cruise, anime museum, Japanese sake, Onsen and of course delicious Japanese dishes. Let's have fun together !

Takao M.

Hi, I'm Takao. I like walking with my friends in the mountains, along rivers and beaches, and visiting historical places and museums. Usually, after enjoying these places, we take a dip in hot springs and drink beer. As a guide, however, I'll take up places easy to walk around. I assume not many people from abroad are prepared for sweating activities. If you like, though, I can modify my plan, connecting with a short hiking, hot bath and a drinking place.

Shinichi E.

I have multiple jobs right now. One is a mediator and the other is an English teacher. After working for some life insurance company for about 40 years, I got a job for some Family Court as a mediator and I enjoy helping those who get in trouble. I also teach English for beginners, especially for TOEIC TEST. I love music. When I was in university student, I was a conductor for a male chorus. Since then I have been really into Opera. I don't mean to be pompous, but actually, I'm good at entertaining any guests at any occasion, as I had worked as head of sales, human resources, and branch manager. Almost a decade ago I had lived in Kyoto for 5 years and I have been enthralied by charm and attraction of Kyoto, such as history, culture, cuisine and beauty:as in cherry blossom in Spring, colorful leaves in Autumn and GION festival and so on. I'd like to share my experiences with everyone and guide all of you to Kyoto, Osaka, and Kobe.

Toichi N.

I'm Toichi. Please call me Ichi, which means No.1 in Japanese. Or you can remember it as 'itchy' Ichi. Born and bred in Osaka, I would like to introduce you to this extremely diverse and interesting city. I have travelled extensively around the globe, and I think one of the greatest pleasure of travelling abroad is meeting people who have different ways of lifestyle and thinking. Japan may not be an easy place for tourists to get to know its people. So, I hope to help you to get closer to meet real Japan and Japanese people. I would like to show you how ordinary Japanese people live and think. And I am happy if you could have a day of unique cultural experiences which you can look back to in ten years' time!

Noriko I.

Hello, I’m Noriko, certified national tour guide. I live in Wakayama prefecture, where there are a lot of nature and historic places, hot springs and delicious food, such as seafood and fruits. Wakayama stretches from north to south on the Kii Peninsula, however, it takes only about one hour from Kansai International Airport to the north part of Wakayama prefecture. I’m sure I can help you learn Japanese culture, history, and traditions, and fully enjoy traveling in Wakayama. I'm looking forward to seeing you soon!

Hi there! My name is Aida, I am a local tour guide based in Yerevan. Having grown up in Armenia's capital, I have always been fascinated by the country's long and rich history, unique traditions, and the stories that shape the life around the region.

Inga K.

I am a passionate local guide with extensive experience in Monaco and the French Riviera. I previously worked as a guide at the Prince’s Palace in Monaco and also conducted driving tours with a Monaco company, accompanying VIP clients across some of the most iconic destinations of the French Riviera and beyond, including Èze, Cannes, Monaco, Saint-Tropez and Sanremo. I have recently returned from one year of solo backpacking across South and Central America, an experience that deepened my understanding of travel, cultures, human connection and authentic experiences. Travel, for me, is not only about seeing places — it is about creating memorable moments, emotions and stories. I know how to make an experience unique, personal and special for each traveller, whether through hidden local insights, meaningful encounters, beautiful viewpoints, local culture, or simply adapting the tour to the guest’s personality and interests. My goal is to offer travellers not just a tour, but an unforgettable experience they will remember long after returning home.

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!
