About Me

I'm Ann.
Thank you for considering traveling to Japan!
I don't offer tours very frequently because I want each one to be a special experience for my guests and, in turn, for myself.
Even though I now live in Tokyo, I spent my childhood in the countryside, catching tadpoles in nearby paddy fields and climbing trees. This background has given me a deep appreciation for nature and simplicity.
I look forward to welcoming you as if you were old-time friends rather than new guests. Your time in Japan will be more than just a tour; it will be a memorable and personalized experience.
