My most precious memory was when a tour group member was brought to tears by the view, exclaiming that Japan had such beautiful landscapes. Until that point, I had taken the views for granted but when she said that, it changed my life and I could experience the beauty of Japan with others. And I want to share that with you! Being from Osaka, I have been a guide for 12 years.
My passion in life is sharing my knowledge of Japan and give people a meaningful experience.
I handle private or group tours in Kansai or long tours covering from Kyoto to Tokyo (Hiroshima, Himeji, Kobe, Osaka, Mt.Koya, Nara, Sirakawago, Kanazawa, Takayama, Nakasendo, Mt.Fuji, Tokyo etc.).； bus group tours of up to 40 people or walking tours up to 20 people from various countries.
My private tour includes unbeaten tracks, sometimes introducing them the tea ceremony, flower arrangement, Japanese calligraphy and picture drawing.
I love experiencing the same views over and over again, yet having a new experiencing every time! And on top of that, the communication with local people!
I also work as a guide for JICA trainees from all over the world.
My motto as a tour guide is to share the true pleasure of tours and treasure the moment together.
