About Tour Guide Vicky S.
Hi,I'm Vicky. based in Osaka. I have been living in Japan 6 years.I used to be a radio host in China for 10 years before moved to Japan. which helped me develop strong communication skills and a warm presentation style.
I completed my graduate studies in Japan, and now I’m excited to share this country’s culture, history, and everyday life with visitors from around the world. I am a native Chinese speaker, fluent in English, and also able to communicate in Japanese for daily conversation, so I can easily connect with guests from different backgrounds.
Outside of guiding, I am passionate about traveling, exploring local cuisines, and enjoying K-POP music. I love discovering hidden gems and unique experiences, and I would be delighted to introduce you not only to Japan’s famous landmarks, but also to its local food, culture, and lifestyle.
I look forward to making your time in Japan both memorable and enjoyable. Let’s explore together!

“Outstanding Tour Guide and Tour of Kyoto”
We spent a full day with Vicky. She is incredibly knowledgeable and pleasant, and flexible. I had asked for 3 or 4 places to visit and also asked for some meal reservations, and she was able to make everything, and more, happen. Midway through the day, I was fatigued ( from previous day tour ) and she was able to pivot the remainder of the day to accomodate me but still allow others to see the sights. We spent 9 hours together and she was an absolute delight all day. I would book with her again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Vicky!

It was a real pleasure spending the day with you, and I sincerely appreciate your trust. I would be absolutely delighted to guide you again anytime you return to Japan. Thank you again for choosing me, and I hope to see you in the future! Best regards, Vicky

“A nice and memorable trip in Osaka”
The day with Vicky was exactly as I had imagined it. Since she is very open and articulate, we got along well right away. When I asked to take things a bit more slowly because I was still a little tired from the day before, she immediately accommodated my request. It turned into a relaxed and informative stroll through the city, in very pleasant and worldly company, with beautiful weather. Thank you for that, Vicky — thumbs up, 5/5!

Thank you again for your warm words, and I sincerely hope to have the chance to show you more of Japan in the future.

Hi I'm Rina. Thank you for your interest, and welcome to Japan. I was born and raised in Osaka, and I’m truly excited to show you both the city’s famous landmarks and its hidden gems. Osaka is full of incredible food and fun places to explore. I’m always thinking about how to design routes that feel comfortable for each guest and what kind of scenery will make them fall in love with this city. Seeing guests react with surprise and joy to the little moments in everyday Osaka is one of the most rewarding parts of guiding. My hope is simple: I want you to enjoy Osaka with ease and leave feeling even more connected to this place. I’m confident in my stamina — I’ve guided an eight‑hour tour without lunch — but I also offer slow‑paced, relaxing tours. Together, we’ll create a plan that matches your interests and energy level so you can enjoy the day without stress. You can count on me for the best timing to avoid crowds, truly delicious local spots, and places only Osaka residents know. My goal is to give you a warm, memorable experience that makes you think, “I want to come back to Osaka again.” I look forward to guiding you through an Osaka you’ll want to return to.

I am a Kyoto City Certified Guide, recognized as a top performer in its official training program as well as a Goverment-Certified Luxury Travel Guide. Having lived in 7 countries for nearly 30 years — including 9 years in the U.S.(California, New York & Texas) — I offer a truly global perspective and an intuitive understanding of international guests. As a descendant of Hijikata Toshizo, one of Japan’s legendary “last samurai,” sharing Japan’s history and spirit is deeply personal to me. My background as a licensed New York City tour guide, the official VIP protocol at the World Expo 2025. British Airways flight attendant, medical interpreter, and TV reporter has shaped my ability to connect effortlessly across cultures. I primarily guide in Kyoto, Osaka, Nara, and Uji, with bespoke journeys to Tokyo, Naoshima, and Himeji Castle available upon request. I look forward to welcoming you and sharing the true heart of Japan!
