About Tour Guide Kanae W.
Do you know Chiba?
It’s right next to Tokyo. You might know it as the place where Narita International Airport is located… but actually, it’s way more than that. Chiba has beautiful, historic cities that are fun to walk around. It is also known as a peaceful suburban area where many people spend weekends. I really know how to enjoy them.
I'm proud to be a government-licensed tour guide and local with a great passion for sharing the wonders of the cities of Japan. As I have spent more than 25 years of my life in the Chiba and Tokyo area, I'm quite familiar with many of the attractions the area has to offer. It never stops surprising people, including me, a long-time local, with its blend of traditional and modern elements. I hope you will feel that excitement as well.
Moreover, with a great deal of knowledge about Japan and a good sense of humor, our journey should be full of interesting and enjoyable stories and conversations. As a working mother of a little boy, for example, I am quite familiar with current situations and traditional events related to families in Japan today. Please let me know if you are curious about anything during your trip. I would be happy to help.
I am very happy and excited to meet you soon. Thank you. Arigatou gozaimasu!
Important
Due to some serious international situations going on, some of my tours might have to be canceled depending on the gasoline and fuel availability in the future. Thank you for your kind understanding. I sincerely hope that the situation will go back to normal very soon. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions on my tours.

A Day Trip to A Peaceful, Historic Town of Sawara
With only a 90-minute trip from Tokyo, the peaceful, incredibly less-crowded town full of history awaits you. Sawara in Chiba Prefecture retains a good, old atmosphere of the premodern times of Japan. It features old houses and streets alongside a small canal, a huge, prestigious Shinto shrine, and fun shopping at the local Michi-no-Eki (a large shop that sells locally-produced foods and vegetables).

Narita and Sawara: Day Trip to Nice Historic Cities from Tokyo
Are you looking for more unique options that many foreign tourists haven’t found yet? Chiba is right next to Tokyo, and has many charming historic cities. Narita is an old, famous temple town. Its long approach has about 150 shops and restaurants. Sawara is a quiet merchants' town from the premodern times. You can enjoy a small canal boat ride navigated by a traditional-looking local. Away from the packed streets in Tokyo, why don't we feel the good, peaceful vibes of these old cities?

Masahiro N.
Hallo zusammen! Ich heiße Masahiro, aber meine Freunde nennen mich Masa. Nach meinem Studium in Tokio habe ich von 2006 bis 2013 in Wien gelebt. 2013 bin ich endgültig nach Japan zurückgekehrt. Während meiner Zeit in Wien habe ich die deutschsprachige Welt und ihre Kultur sehr intensiv kennengelernt. Heute möchte ich eine Brücke zwischen dem deutschsprachigen Raum und Japan sein – und genau deshalb arbeite ich als Reiseleiter. Ich habe das Gefühl, dass diese Aufgabe meine Lebensaufgabe geworden ist. Für mich ist ein Guide so etwas wie ein privater Diplomat. Er verbindet Menschen aus verschiedenen Ländern und Kulturen und hilft ihnen, einander besser zu verstehen. Ich habe bereits Erfahrung darin, meine Gäste durch viele verschiedene Orte in Japan zu führen, unter anderem durch: • Tokio • Kamakura • die Region um den Fuji • Kawagoe(Saitama) • Nikko(Tochigi) • Karuizawa (Nagano) • Kanazawa(Ishikawa) • Kyoto • Osaka • Kobe • Himeji • Nagasaki …und natürlich gibt es noch viele weitere Orte zu entdecken! Ich wohne heute in der Nähe von Tokio. Deshalb sind Touren in Tokio und der Umgebung für mich besonders gut machbar. Eine Reise macht das Leben bunt! Lassen Sie Ihren Alltagsstress hinter sich und genießen Sie entspannte Momente, neue Entdeckungen und interessante Begegnungen – vielleicht sogar den einen oder anderen kleinen Kulturschock. Ich freue mich sehr darauf, Sie auf Ihrer Reise durch Japan zu begleiten! Bis bald in Japan!
