“Fabulous day in Takayama ”
We had an absolutely fabulous day with Bonnie as our tour guide in Takayama we started out with a beautiful bus ride to the northern Japanese Alps to take the Shinhotaka Ropeway. It was absolutely stunning. Then we visited Old Takayama, which included a lucky stop at a local festival, which she arranged. We tasted sake and saw many local traditions. Then off to Hida Folk Village. It was a really fun day. Bonnie is very friendly and knowledgeable. We learned so much with her as our guide. We left our sunglasses on one of the local buses and thanks to Bonnie they were located! Highly recommend.

“Great day in Shirakawago”
We had a wonderful day with Bonnie as our tour guide in Shirakawago. Bonnie arranged bus tickets for the short drive from Takayama to Shirakawago , and then from Shirakawago we went on to Kanazawa. Bonnie is absolutely delightful, so friendly and kind. We learned so much from her and highly recommend her as a tour guide. Shirakawago is in incredible place. Bonnie also helped me when I left behind an item at our ryokan in Takayama. She took extra time to contact the hotel to explain what happened and it all worked out fine. It was a great day.
Bonnie C.
It is a pleasure to guide you in Shirakawago. The weather is so nice and we have an enjoyable time in the cafe too. Please feel free to let me know if you need any help in Japan! All the best, Bonnie :)

Naoto K.
Hello! I’m Naoto. Born and raised in Toyama, with Kanazawa as my backyard, I welcome you to Hokuriku—Japan’s sanctuary of culture, nature, and gastronomy. My roots run deep into Takayama, Gifu. I even spent part of my childhood in a traditional thatched-roof house, giving me a lifelong connection to the heritage and craft of Hokuriku and Hida. After living abroad and spending decades in Tokyo, I returned to curate tailored journeys into authentic Japan, far from tourist crowds. In Hokuriku, you experience history through all senses. With my private vehicle, I offer door-to-door comfort to extraordinary places tour buses cannot reach. What Makes Your Journey Extraordinary: Food as Living Culture: From "jewels of the sea" along Toyama Bay (Iwase/Himi) and samurai cuisine to mountain retreat dining, every meal is curated to your tastes. Samurai Legacies & Crafts: Walk through samurai districts and connect with artisans, from Kanazawa’s gold leaf to Inami woodcarving and Gokayama Washi paper. Majestic Nature: Experience contrast—from the Northern Japan Alps to UNESCO-listed villages of Shirakawa-go and Gokayama. Immersive Experiences: Craft workshops, culinary sessions, or quiet river excursions with a local insider. Having lived abroad, I act as your cultural translator, bridging the gap between a visitor and local Japan. Every itinerary is 100% customized to your pace. Let’s create an unforgettable journey tailored for you.

Shoten S.
Hello, my name is Shoten, please call me Sho. I was born in a local area in Toyama prefecture. I majored in civil engineering at a college and am interested in historical infrastructures. After graduation, I continued to study English at a local English circle. In international activities, I also guided foreign people around Toyama Prefecture, Ishikawa Prefecture, and Gifu Prefecture. After retirement, I work as a guide interpreter and a translator. The Hokuriku region has many sightseeing spots, including beautiful landscapes like Kenrokuen Garden and Tateyama, tasty food like traditional Kaga dishes and fresh seafood from Toyama Bay, and traditional crafts like Takaoka copperware and Inami woodcarving. I introduce these spots and historical infra tourism, such as the Kurobe dam and industrial tourism. I look forward to welcoming you to the Hokuriku region.
