About Tour Guide Chiharu O.
Hi! Please call me Chi. I would love to take you to the local parts in Japan.
I was raised in Odawara in Japan until graduating junior high school, and attended high school in Australia to study English.
After taking my friends from Australia to all over Japan and seeing their shining faces when they encounter cool Japanese culture, I decided to start this.
I would love to take you to where local Japanese lives and show you the way of life here in Japan. My tour includes "meeting local people" and "enjoying the most of Japanese food culture."

“She was the best part on our trip in Japan. ”
She is really professional and knows the area! First, she is from Fuji area. This is an amazing benefit of you and your family traveling to Japan and want to have unforgettable memories in Hakone area. Most of our guides' English was Ok. However, Chiharu's English was the best so far. This is very hard to find in Japan. Also, she mentioned that she has a farm here and organizes cooking class. I can't wait to come and visit this place too. Please don't hesitate to book her if you want to make your Hakone and Fuji visit special.

I’m so excited to have a chance to show you around my favorite spots in Kanagawa prefecture. I was born in Kanagawa. I spent my whole school life, including university, here in Kanagawa. I worked as a high school English teacher here for 40 years. I love Kanagawa so much. We have many interesting tourist spots, like Hakone, Kamakura, Enoshima and Yokohama. I got my tour guide license in English in 2009. I am still an English teacher. To give an interesting and impressive lesson to young high school students, I’ve learnt and gathered many kinds of information. I also have a license to teach social studies, so I have a wide range of knowledge about Japanese culture and history. I’m sure to provide you an interesting tour.

I was born and grew up in Yokohama. I used to work in Tokyo for more than 20 years. I became the National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter in English in 2013. At first, I had attended a volunteer group which provided a tour of the Imperial Palace East Gardens until 2015. I guided more than fifty times in the garden as a volunteer and studied about Japanese history and culture. Based on this experience, I became a tour guide of this online site in 2015. Since then, I have guided more than 500 tours in Tokyo as well as Yokohama, Kamakura, Hakone, Kyoto, Nikko, etc., while improving my tours. My tours are very flexible and I always do my best to customize them according to the interests of my guests. I studied about the places and will provide you knowledge to appreciate them more deeply than just visiting there by yourself or a member of group tours. I like foods and I know many restaurants which provide typical Japanese lunch with reasonable price without waiting too long. Therefore, I am sure that I can provide you the best tours customized to your interests. It will be my great pleasure to help you to enjoy your stay in Japan. So please be my guest!!
