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.

“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.
Minako M.
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.

I would be very glad to guide overseas tourists based on my various working experiences over 30 years in a general trading house, including overseas clients' guide in Japanese local cities, being aware of their interests and viewpoints learned through my engagement with various clients during my overseas assignments (10 years in total) and business trips to some 40 countries. During the past 10 years living in Akita City (northern Japan), I could greatly expand my outdoor activities such as trekking (not only green season but also winter snowshoe hiking), skiing, and experiencing various local traditional festivals, fireworks festival, hot spring lodges stay with local cuisines/Sake etc. I would very much like to share such joy with our valued overseas tourists!
