About Tour Guide Tess L.
Hi, I’m Tess, and I’ve lived in Kyoto for 5 yrs. I’m foodies, from Michelin rank okonomiyaki, Osaka Top1 takoyaki, and traditional sweet wagashi.
I love adventure. I have been to many countries, Australia, Canada, USA, Thailand, Malaysia, etc. It has become one of my favorite cities since moving to Kyoto, and I often go exploring all over the city during my holidays, discovering new sights and food.
I have 4 years’ experience as a tour guide, including Kyoto Osaka and Nara.
I also work at Japan traditional museum, no matter samurai, geisha, tea culture, lots of history and stories we can share with.

Nicolas I.
Hello, my name is Nicolas. I’m originally from Argentina and have been living in Japan for the past eight years, proudly calling Osaka my home. Being married to a Japanese wife has given me a strong personal connection to the culture and a deeper understanding of everyday life here, far beyond what most visitors get to see. Tourism has always been my passion and profession, and I have spent these years working in the tour industry, helping travelers discover Japan in a meaningful and enjoyable way. I love sharing not only the famous landmarks, but also the small details, stories, and local experiences that make this country so special. My goal is to make every tour feel relaxed, authentic, and memorable—like exploring Japan with a knowledgeable friend who truly loves living here. I look forward to welcoming you and showing you this amazing place I now call home.
