About Tour Guide Takuji H.

I enjoy traveling and have visited many places throughout Japan.

I also like traveling abroad and have visited many countries.

I believe that my experience participating in local tours in those countries will help me ensure that international guests are satisfied.

I was born and raised in Gifu Prefecture. I have also lived in Nagoya and Tokyo.

I can provide detailed guidance around Gifu and Aichi Prefectures.

I will do my best to ensure that you have as enjoyable an experience as possible.

Important

The tour start time, meeting point, and end time can be adjusted upon request.

For guests making a day trip from the Kyoto, Nagoya, or Nagano areas, I can inform you in advance of the most suitable train options.

Please note that credit cards may not be accepted on local buses or at some shops, so I recommend bringing cash.

All tours can be customized for you. Send me a message with your requests!

Walk the Samurai Road (Nakasendo Trail) from Magome to Tsumago

Magome and Tsumago-juku still remain nestled in the mountains today. Having escaped modern development, their streetscapes preserve the strong atmosphere of the Edo period. On this tour, you will walk from Magome to Tsumago along mountain trails lined with hinoki cypress trees that have remained largely unchanged for hundreds of years. The sacred fragrance of hinoki, the gentle sound of flowing streams, and the songs of wild birds will softly welcome you along the way.

Charley S.

Konnichiwa - - - Charley here. Originally, I grew up in Los Angeles and San Diego for the first quarter century of my life. In 2000, I moved to Aichi Prefecture, Japan. One of my main goals was to play music with Japanese musicians, particularly in the underground music scene, which I've been a part of throughout my life. Also, I wanted to enjoy and explore the beauty of living in a foreign country. I've been living here for 25 years, and can gladly say that I have been engaged thoroughly in both of those goals. Since the beginning of moving to Japan, I've always chosen to hang out and engage with Japanese people as opposed to other foreigners. I often find myself in izakaiyas and concert events where I am the only foreigner, but fortunately I am on good terms with the staff and other customers. So if you are looking to see the less touristy aspects of Japan, please feel free to get in touch with me and I would love to share what I have come to appreciate about Japan. Cheers !

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 !
