About Tour Guide Maricar R.

Hello, My name is Maricar!

Originally from the Philippines, and I’ve been living here in Japan for over 10 years. I’m currently based in Saitama—so I’m very familiar with the local area as well as many parts of Japan.

As a traveler myself, I have a strong passion for exploring Japan, and my personal goal is to visit all 47 prefectures. Because of this, I love sharing not just the popular tourist spots, but also hidden gems and local experiences that many visitors don’t usually get to see.

I speak Tagalog and English fluently, along with conversational Japanese, so I can assist a wide range of guests and help make your journey smooth, comfortable, and enjoyable.

I’m really excited to guide you today and share with you the beauty, culture, and unique charm of Japan. Let’s have a wonderful trip together!

I love outdoor activities, especially fishing and golf. I have been to CANADA for 6 months as a bank trainee and have worked for 5 years in the US at the age of my 30s. It is my pleasure to show you around in Japan. As you know, there are four seasons in Japan and you can enjoy the nature of each season.

Kota A.

Hello everyone! My name is Kota. After graduation from a university in Japan I spent a year in Vancouver, Canada, on a working holiday. While working as a server at a sushi restaurant, I had many opportunities to interact with guests who loved Japan, while also learning about Canadian culture from them. Those experiences became truly meaningful to me, and now I would like to take on that role here in Japan—sharing the beauty of my country with visitors and creating unforgettable memories together. Tokyo is a world-famous metropolis, but beyond its well-known landmarks, it is full of hidden gems that are less crowded and waiting to be discovered. I would be delighted to explore such places with you and do my very best to make your trip to Japan a wonderful experience. Since I am originally from Hiroshima, I am also very familiar with Kyoto, Hiroshima, and Osaka. I would be happy to give you helpful advice if you plan to visit those areas. And if our schedules align, I would love to guide you around my hometown Hiroshima, as well as Shiga where I spent my student years, or even Kyoto and Osaka. Please feel free to reach out anytime! I enjoy watching soccer (especially Manchester United!), and I also like beer and whisky. I’m really looking forward to meeting you all :) P.S. I am not a licensed guide, but I work as a friendly guide. Rather than providing formal or highly specialized guiding like a school tour, my focus is on offering a more relaxed and friendly experience to help you enjoy your time in Japan. I appreciate your understanding.
