About Tour Guide Katie T.
Dear Travelers ! I'm KAORU. (English name : Katie)
I love mountain climbing as you see in my photo and also traveling.
Now I'm teaching English at vocational school as a part-time teacher, but used to be a tour guide to take Japanese tourists abroad.
Why did I become a national certificated guide ?
I'd love to introduce real Japan to you foreign people. I think there are a wide variety of people, customs, places, foods ... in your country. Vice versa in my country !
I'd like you to meet real Japan not only Tokyo or Kyoto but also suburbs and countryside.
Please come to visit Japan and see me ! Find different sides of Japan !

I have lived in Tokyo for a long time, and I like Tokyo and really enjoy the life of Tokyo. I love eating, shopping and cooking, so Tokyo is one of most exciting places in Japan for me!! I think, not only for me and Japanese people, but also foreign tourists. I want to give you unforgettable memories in Japan. My top priority is to help you discover, enjoy, experience and feel Japanese culture, gourmet and life with the heart of Japanese hospitality. I’m interested in cross-cultural exchange. Let’s talk a lot about anything you want to know and try to do in Japan. I’m looking forward to seeing you the tour.

Before becoming a full-time guide, I worked as an IT engineer, hotel receptionist, and manager of a maid cafe—experiences that help me connect naturally with travelers from many different backgrounds. 【Interests】 -Maid cafes and pop idols -Manga and anime -Art and architecture -Hot springs and public baths -Socializing and exploring great food 【Certifications】 -National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter -General Certified Travel Supervisor -Domestic Certified Travel Supervisor I am based in Tokyo but will happily arrange a tour only for your group, in area Kawagoe, Saitama, Hakone, Kamakura, Narita, Nikko, Shizuoka, Yokohama, Kanagawa, Chiba, Tochigi, Kyoto, etc. Please contact me!
