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

Yasuhisa K.
I have worked in the multi-national organizations including UN agency for around 30 years and stationed at various cities including Rome, Bangkok and Hanoi. Although I have retired from those international carriers, I wish to keep the international cooperation and develop the friendship with people who visits our country. As I like history and am practicing Noh song and wood curving of Buddha images, I have decided to live in Nara where is surrounded by many historical places and traditional cultures, when I returned back to Japan in 2017. I wish to offer you custom made trip ideas to be able to enjoy the atmosphere of old city, Nara. I am also planning to develop trip plans to enjoy the local cultures. Please call me Yasu.

Nikki K.
I'm a Certified English Interpreter Guide accredited by Kyoto, Uji, and Otsu cities — top performer in Kyoto's official training program and selected for Japan’s elite government project for VIP luxury travel. Having lived in 7 countries for 30 years — including 9 years in the U.S. (California, New York, and Texas) — I bring a truly global perspective and deep cultural understanding to every tour. A descendant of Hijikata Toshizo, one of Japan’s legendary “last samurai,” I was raised with a strong appreciation for history and the bushido spirit. Before becoming a guide in Japan, I worked as a licensed NYC tour guide, British Airline flight attendant, medical interpreter, and TV reporter — all roles focused on connecting with people and sharing cultures. I love showing my guests not only Japan’s must-see landmarks but also hidden local gems off the beaten path. I mainly guide in Kyoto, Osaka, Nara, Uji, and Tokyo upon request. From fun street food adventures to refined cultural and luxury experiences, I design each private tour to match your interests and create unforgettable moments that last a lifetime. I look forward to welcoming you and sharing the true heart of Japan!
