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

Hello! I’m a local guide based in the Kansai area, offering private and customized tours in Osaka, Kobe, and Kyoto. I enjoy helping visitors discover not only famous sights, but also the food, shops, neighborhoods, traditions, and everyday experiences that make Japan special. My tours are relaxed and flexible, with plenty of time for questions, conversation, photos, and spontaneous discoveries. I also work as a Japanese language teacher, which has given me extensive experience communicating with people from different countries and explaining Japanese culture in a clear and approachable way. Whether you are visiting Japan for the first time, traveling alone, or looking for places beyond the usual tourist routes, I can tailor the experience to your interests and pace. My goal is to help you feel comfortable, discover things you may not find on your own, and leave with meaningful memories of your time in Japan. I look forward to exploring Osaka, Kobe, or Kyoto with you!
