Hello everyone, Thank you for visiting my page. I am Eriko, a former student traveler, a mother of two adult sons, and an open-minded national licensed tour guide who has lived in Tokyo for almost 30 years. I became interested in English language when I greeted a foreign teacher in English at my primary school for the first time. Then I longed for an expert who could command English like a flight attendant or an English interpreter. History was also intriguing. I therefore majored in Japanese history, minored in English language education, and worked as an English teacher at a high school and a preparatory school. I had lived in Hong Kong for six years, enjoying parenting and cultural exchange. These experiences changed my perspective on Japan and inspired me to learn more about my country and English again so that I could share my knowledge about Japan with my friends. After coming back to Japan, I had served as a Tokyo Metropolitan volunteer tour guide for three years. Since I obtained the national tour guide license, I have delivered many tours in TOKYO, NIKKO, HAKONE, KYOTO, NARA, HIROSHIMA and my hometown area including NAKASENDO. During tours, my clients often give me various and unexpected questions and share a lot of information about their countries, which has broadened my horizons and trained me to be a better guide. I have been grateful to them, and clearly realized this is my favorite and best job blending my childhood dream, interests, and pleasure. There are a lot of things I enjoy such as traveling, meeting with people, appreciating art, photography, doing general things etc. Especially, I like art and traveling based on the itineraries I make on my own. I have explored over 20 countries so far, but experienced countless troubles and wasted traveling time. Local people always helped me, which is still heartwarming and priceless. However, from my experiences, having a tour guide and learning about Japan from them would be fine to make the most of your traveling time, which makes your travel much more colorful and unforgettable. And I'm here to assist you. I am flexible about itineraries and arrange your tour to your preferences. I am very much pleased to make your travel special by sharing my experiences, knowledge, and love of all things Japanese with you. Thank you very much for reading. I hope to see you in my tours!

I have been attracted with meeting new people. Always both exciting and nervous, though, it brings me something new, like information, differet cultures and ways of thinking. It is full of discoveries. Now I would like to show you something attractive in Japan as a guided interpreter. Personally, I' ve lived in Tokyo for a long time. I'm intersted in the Japanese food cultures, especially "sake." I always think producing sake would be responsible to pass down traditional Japanese cultures to the next generations. Not only food cultures, but the new harmoniously coexists with the old in Tokyo. Shall we experience Japanese unique culture?

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 !

I 'm a retired businessman who spent 12 years in the US with a fairly good command of English. I visited over 40 countries so far which has made me quite familiar with most cultures in the world. My experiences and the knowledge about Japanese history are valuable assets when it comes to acting as a guide. I like people and I'm really friendly and attentive. I hope my guests will enjoy Japan and deepen their love for Japan.

Hi, I am Naomi. I am a Government Certified Guide Interpreter. I grew up in the Nagoya region and love this area. I used to be a junior high school teacher, but later through travelling in Japan and abroad, meeting new people gave me a lot of opportunities to know their way of life, how they feel their country, which was amazing for me. And I realized that life is beautiful by spending my time talking with new people all over the world. Therefore I would also like you to enjoy various aspects of Japan and feel the joy of travelling in Japan. I am here to guide you. My hobby is learning Japanese tea ceremony and I also like to put on kimono, traditional Japanese clothing. If you take my tour, you will learn about everything that comes into view, get local information and know how to have a tea and so on. I am looking forward to seeing you in and around Nagoya. Thank you.

Hello, I'm Yuko. I've lived in Iwate, northern part of Japan for more than 15 years. Iwate is far from Tokyo and transportation around here is not so convenient, but I love peaceful and wonderful Iwate. I would be happy to help you enjoy your trip without inconvenience. Hiraizumi in Iwate was designated as UNESCO World Heritage site in 2011. It is well-known for Konjiki-do, Golden Hall, but many other things, such as food, nature and culture, must attract you, too. Why don't you gain hands-on experience of deep Iwate? I'm looking forward to seeing you soon!!

I am a licensed tour guide in Hokkaido. I have been working as a guide for about 10 years. I can work in Sapporo, and whole area of Hokkaido. Right now I live in Sapporo ,capital city of Hokkaido. Sapporo is the fifth largest city in Japan with 1. 9 million people. But if you drive one hour or so, you are in the middle of rural area surrounded by mountains and the lakes. So if you come to Hokkaido, it is guaranteed to enjoy urban sightseeing spots and food, at the same time, to enjoy soaking in the amazingly beautiful nature. I can provide you a basic tour, also a customized tour depending on the seasons. Let me help you to create memorable tours that you would cherish for a long time.

Hi! Thank you for checking out my profile! I moved from Costa Rica to Tokyo in 2017 and immediately fell in love with its cosmopolitan and unique vibe! Growing up in a bicultural family (Costa Rican mother and Japanese father) allowed me to get a diverse insight into both cultures. I'd love to share my experiences with you! I'm passionate about traveling and seeking new adventures! I'm always looking for new places to take my guests and experience Tokyo in a different way. Are you interested in music, art, history, or tech? Would you like to visit temples, shrines, gardens, and hidden gems? Are you a foodie who loves trying new things? Tell me what your interests are and I'll personalize your tour :) I'll make sure you have an amazing time in Tokyo and love it as much as I do or even MORE! I'm looking forward to meeting you! :)
