I am a licensed tour guide in Akita.
I'm on a mission to unveil the enchanting allure of Akita Prefecture to the world.
Nestled away from the hustle and bustle of Tokyo and Kyoto, Akita Prefecture boasts a traditional Japanese landscape that's as unique as it is captivating. My passion lies in ensuring that every visitor, no matter where they're from, experiences the richness of Akita's nature and culture.
All tours can be customized for you. Send me a message with your requests!

“Minako was super committed”
Everything was great. The communication, the requests, which she accommodated. She showed us her father's birthplace and bakery. She explained a lot and shared many insights. Her expertise on Akita's history was impressive. We would recommend her to anyone. Her English is very good. We thank her for a wonderful and unforgettable day in Akita.

“Kakunodate and Maiko dance”
Minako has a good knowledge of the places we wanted to visited. We were late for the Maiko dance due to time management.

Thank you very much for your kind feedback. I’m delighted to hear that you enjoyed visiting the places we explored together in Kakunodate. I apologize for the delay in our schedule, which caused us to arrive late for the Maiko dance performance. I appreciate your understanding and will strive to improve time management for future tours. I hope you had a memorable experience overall, and I look forward to the possibility of guiding you again on your next visit to Japan.
