Hello.
I was raised in several places, such as Tokyo, Yokohama, Kobe, Osaka, and Nagoya.
After my professional sales experience for a business machinery company in Yokohama, I pursued an opportunity to teach in China.
I worked as a Japanese teacher to foreigners in Shanghai.
The longer I lived abroad, the more I came to appreciate the unique aspects of Japanese culture. So I started learning English and Chinese to become a bridge to help bring foreign visitors closer to Japanese culture.
I would be horored to be your guide as you tour our historically rich country. I am looking forward to traveling Japan with you. Thank you.
大家好。我叫Maru, 来自东京。在上海生活过七年半。在东华大学学了两年半汉语。2012年得到日语教师资格证后一边学习日本历史文化相关知识一边从事日语教师工作。2018年回到日本开始用英语当导游。2019年终于能开始用汉语当导游了！我想成为世界各个国家和日本友好关系的桥梁。我对历史，美食、名胜古迹都很感兴趣。如果能跟大家一起旅游，我很高兴。谢谢。

“Great tour of Tokyo”
We were lucky enough to connect with Maru for a a 1 day tour of Tokyo. Having never been there before we were excited to see some of the iconic sights and experience the city. Maru did not disappoint, always ensuring our itinerary was up to expectations and making changes on the fly to ensure we had the best experience. Maru also helped us understand the vast Tokyo subway system - no easy feat as it is massive. If you are looking for a great tour guide then look no further. Maru will not disappoint you!

“Wonderful guide.”
Maru made our trip a truly exceptional once in a lifetime experience. Our trip down to Kamakura was enlightening and beautiful.
“museums with Maru”
'Maru was an absolute delight. She was kind, courteous, and professional. She went out of her way to solve all kinds of logistical problems for me, and took me around to all of the specialized museums that I wanted to see. If I ever go back to Tokyo, I would definitely hire her again.'
