Nagoya Highlights for First Timers
After we meet up around 9:00, we get on a bus. First, we go to Nagoya Castle, a must-see place in Nagoya, then move to Tokugawa Japanese Garden and its museum, where you may have a nice lunch or grab a bite overviewing the beautiful garden, walk through Culture Street, then Mirai Tower. In this way, you will see from the past of Japan to a current modern town. There is a local's favorite entertainment district, where you can enjoy international cuisine and shopping.

“Wonderful experience with Eiko in Okazaki and Asuke village”
Eiko-san was a wonderful guide for me and my daughter when we came to Japan for the first time now in January. She helped us build our itinerary, provided great advice as to how and when to travel from Osaka to Okazaki, picked us up from the train station and gave us a lot of practical assistance during our first day in Japan. Her kind help was greatly appreciated! She also helped me get in touch with a contact person for tourist association in Tono city, which was our next destination. Thanks to Eiko, me and my daughter had a great experience in Asuke village, participating in traditional straw making craft, making waraji. Through this experience, we have learned a lot about Japan’s history and traditional crafts and will treasure these memories forever. I would be happy to return to Japan and have Eiko-san as guide again, if an opportunity arises in the future. With greetings from Norway, Julia and Kathinka

“Wonderful day with Eiko”
My husband was in Nagoya for business and not wanting to navigate Nagoya alone I arranged a day tour with Eiko. She is a wonderful guide and speaks English like a native. She was able to change our tour route at the last minute to accommodate rainy weather in the morning. She was very well prepared and had a few pages of notes written with graphics about the places we visited. She has a very friendly and open personality and at the end of our day I felt like I had spent the day with a good friend. If I could give her more than 5 stars I would!

Serge R.
Hi lovely travelers, I'm Serge, originally from the Netherlands, and Japan has been my home for over three decades now. What brought me here initially was love, and that love has kept me rooted in this beautiful country ever since. Along the way, I discovered another love: Japan itself. Following my stint as a radio jockey and TV presenter, where I co-hosted a dedicated program for the Nagoya Grampus soccer team, I transitioned to a behind-the-scenes role as a media fixer for international media outlets. Though my job as media fixer, I've been traveling and working throughout all of Japan, exploring unique places and meeting lots of very interesting people. I would love to share and make you, my dear traveler, experience these places as well. Visiting and getting a tour at Japan's oldest traditional vinegar maker, or experience and taste at a traditional "katsuo bushi" bonito flake maker, or do you prefer to visit some old local shrines or temples. with no-one around you, except for the crickets and trees. Maybe you just want a friend to bring you to your desired locations and interpret and be at your beck and call 24 hours (like I do for the media). If you're looking for flexibility (time, places. transport), you won't find a better match than me. My work as a fixer taught me a valuable lesson: the key to traveling together successfully, lies in a blend of humor, professionalism, and adaptability.

Charley S.
Konnichiwa - - - Charley here. Originally, I grew up in Los Angeles and San Diego for the first quarter century of my life. In 2000, I moved to Aichi Prefecture, Japan. One of my main goals was to play music with Japanese musicians, particularly in the underground music scene, which I've been a part of throughout my life. Also, I wanted to enjoy and explore the beauty of living in a foreign country. I've been living here for 25 years, and can gladly say that I have been engaged thoroughly in both of those goals. Since the beginning of moving to Japan, I've always chosen to hang out and engage with Japanese people as opposed to other foreigners. I often find myself in izakaiyas and concert events where I am the only foreigner, but fortunately I am on good terms with the staff and other customers. So if you are looking to see the less touristy aspects of Japan, please feel free to get in touch with me and I would love to share what I have come to appreciate about Japan. Cheers !

Hello, This is Tom!! I started to work as an English speaking Guide from last year of Aichi and Gifu, Shiga, Shizuoka or Toyama, around mid center of Japan.

I also work as a tour conductor of group tour using Van or Tour Bus or Shinkansen bullet train and have experiences of attending their lunch and dinner then I have experiences of how to cope different food restrictions of each ethnic group. And I am little aged as you see then I am familiar with “slow life style” of elderly people then I will customize the pace of my tour flexibly according to the age and condition of my customer. On the other hand if you have little kids in your party, I can prepare tours for kids like “Ghibli park” or “SCMaglev railway park” as well. Please contact me immediately when you are ready to visit here around mid center of Japan.
