About Tour Guide Lisa W.
Hi everyone! My name is Lisa.
Thank you very much for checking out my profile.
I am originally from Osaka, Japan, and completed my Bachelor’s Degree from Kyoto Prefecture University in architecture. During my stay in Kyoto I volunteered as a tour guide for foreign visitors.
After graduation I moved to Tokyo and worked in the marketing and promotions field. On weekends I continued to work as a tour guide volunteer in Tokyo.
I have also studied at the University of California, Irvine and worked for a tech company in Anaheim California. It was great oppotuniay for me to see Japan from foreigner's perspective.
My happiness for meeting new people and learning my own culture through guiding foreign visitors kept increasing and that made me decide to become a professional tour guide.
I offer tailor-made tours for individuals or groups. I have met a lot of wonderful people through tour guiding and look forward to the many more friends I will make.
My strength is the stock of Japan's historical and architectural knowledge, which I believe makes your Japan experience fun and interesting especially when you are visiting Japan's old capitals.
During my tour I will share with you historical contents of places or structures you are visiting so that you can understand the reason why you meet present Japan. I have friendly and mindful nature which will make your Japan experience greater!
Please feel free to message me if you have any question about your Japan trip!
Hope to see you soon in my tour.
Best,
Lisa

“Osaka Tour with Lisa”
Lisa was an amazing tour guide - professional, yet friendly and extremely knowledgeable about Osaka and Japanese history. Her itinerary based on our desired destinations and activities was perfect - thorough yet, not rushed at all. We highly recommend Lisa to anyone seeking a deeper connection with all that Osaka has to offer.

“Wonderful tour to explore Kyoto”
Lisa was a great tour guide. She took us to so many places and we did not feel rushed. We even had a nice lunch. She taught us so much and answered so many questions. She even gave us great recommendations for dinner. Next time we hope to do one of her other tours!

“A Perfect Day in Kyoto”
Lisa planned an excellent itinerary that took us to several remarkable sites throughout Kyoto. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the city’s history and traditions, answering every question with both expertise and personal insight. Lisa is also wonderfully personable and fun, often pointing out details that brought each place to life and made my visit even more engaging. I would definitely book a tour with Lisa again—she truly made Kyoto for me. Thank you, Lisa!

Hi I'm Rina. Thank you for your interest, and welcome to Japan. I was born and raised in Osaka, and I’m truly excited to show you both the city’s famous landmarks and its hidden gems. Osaka is full of incredible food and fun places to explore. I enjoy guiding guests into Osaka’s hidden, local neighborhoods where you can taste unusual dishes and discover spots only locals know. I look forward to guiding you through an Osaka you’ll want to return to. Soy principiante y no hablo mucho español, pero me encanta recibir a huéspedes hispanohablantes.

I lived in Seattle, WA US for several years to study public policy and urban planning at University of Washington and Washington State Department of Transportation . The US life has awakened me to realize its beauty and value of the Japanese nature and culture. After coming back from US, I have started my professional career of the infrastructure development in both developed and developing countries as a Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) expert for more than 20 years. I have provided hospitality and honesty as a Japanese during my professional career. I can give you not only sightseeing tours but also technical tours with my expertise. I live in Osaka where an ancient capital city, Kyoto is located within a hour by train. I can show you how Japanese has developed the capital city with urban planning and infrastructure development. I look forward to seeing you here in Japan.
