About Tour Guide Julie M.
Hello! I’m Julie, a Brazilian who's married to a Japanese guy and became a guide in Japan.
My goal is simple: to make your trip unforgettable, stress-free, and full of meaningful experiences.
Living in Japan for years has allowed me to truly understand the culture, daily life, language, and hidden gems that most travelers never get to see. I always guide with patience, care, and attention to detail—so you can relax and enjoy every moment.
What you can expect from me:
Personalized itineraries based on your interests
Smooth communication in English, Portuguese, or Japanese
Help with transportation, restaurants, shopping, and cultural etiquette
A friendly companion who makes you feel safe, comfortable, and welcomed
Local tips and authentic experiences—not just the touristy spots
Whether you’re traveling solo, with children, or in a group, I adapt the pace and activities to what you enjoy. My priority is that you feel supported, understood, and excited throughout your trip.
If you’re looking for a guide who is organized, caring, knowledgeable, and passionate about Japan, I would love to be part of your journey.
Let’s create beautiful memories together!

“A day in Kyoto with Julie”
I had the best day with Julie learning about Kyoto and going to a tea ceremony which include wearing a kimono. It was a memorable experience and at the end we saw a real Geisha. In addition to her knowledge she was very caring with my mobility issue. Thank you Julie I will never forget this day. Maria

Dear Maria, Thank you so much for your kind and heartfelt message. I’m truly happy to hear that you had such a memorable day in Kyoto. It was a pleasure spending time with you, and I’m glad you enjoyed the tea ceremony and kimono experience—it’s always special to share these traditions. I also really appreciate your kind words about your mobility; it was important to me that you felt comfortable and could fully enjoy the day. Meeting you was a wonderful experience for me as well, and I will remember our time together fondly. Thank you again, and I hope our paths cross again in the future. Warm regards, Julie

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.
