About Tour Guide Junior Y.
Hi, I’m Junior.
I was born in Brazil and I’ve been living in Japan for several years. Coming here as a foreigner shaped the way I see the country not from a textbook, but through daily life, work, and real relationships.
Over time, I became deeply connected to Japanese culture, history, and also to Japan’s car scene. Japan isn’t just temples and shrines; it’s also craftsmanship, attention to detail, passion and car culture reflects that perfectly. From classic JDM icons to rare, low-production vehicles and underground scenes, it’s a side of Japan that many visitors never get to experience or fully understand.
I work with cars professionally, but I also see them as part of Japan’s cultural identity. The same mindset that built ancient temples exists in the way cars are designed, maintained, and respected here.
If you’re interested in Japan beyond the surface, its history, its mindset, and the culture that connects tradition and modern passion — I’d be happy to share that with you
