Hello! My name is Keiichi. Please call me Kei.
I was born and raised in Joetsu City, located in the southern part of Niigata prefecture. Joetsu was the former capital city of Echigo Province until the mid 19th century. It has a lot of historic sites and scenic spots, and most of all good people. I love my city very much.
I worked for the Joetsu City office for over thirty years. During my time there, I was in charge of international relations for about ten years. After retiring from the office, I began working as a licensed tour guide. I am very excited to introduce my city to people all over the world.
All tours can be customized for you. Send me a message with your requests!

Thank you for your kind review. The chances of seeing snow monkeys in the park decrease in autumn, so sightings really depend on luck. Still, in the end, the wait was worth it. I hope you can relax and recharge in Japan, and return home feeling refreshed and energized. Best Regards, Kei

“Super knowledgeable of Niigata area”
We booked Keiichi for a one day guided tour of Niigata. Via messages, he asked questions to get an idea of activity level and interests and then created two itinerary options for us to choose from. He greeted us with an itinerary printout and Niigata maps for us to use the following day. We used his vehicle to travel around the different spots, which he held a wealth of knowledge about each area. Kei is a must for the Niigata tourist, you will not be disappointed with your experiences he provides. At the end of the day he shared photos he captured of us during our experiences. The highlight of the day was the fruit farm and picking our own grape bundles to cut off the vines.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review—it truly means a lot to me. We were really lucky to spend such a refreshing autumn day together exploring the Niigata City area. I was especially touched by how close and caring you are with each other. I heard that you enjoyed your time on Sado with my fellow guide Fujiko-san yesterday. I hope today also brings you lots of happiness, relaxation, and safe adventures as you continue to enjoy Sado Island.
