Hello! I am a multilingual professional with 20 years of experience as a french teacher, freelance interpreter and guide. I have built a diverse career connecting people through language culture and experiences. Since moving to Japan i have taught at prestigious institutions such as TC, Ashiya Yamate Shogakko, Takatski Culture Center and Hanazona International School, focusing on language acquisition and cross culture exchange. In addition to teaching, I have worked as a freelance interpreter and translator, supporting international forums. My expertise in English, French and Japanese has allowed me to bridge linguistic and cultural gaps effectively. From 2006 to 2018 and again since 2023 i have guided visitors through japan cultural treasures including Kyoto, Nara, Osaka and Kobe. My personalized tours highlights are Japanese history traditions and natural beauty, creating meaningful experiences for travelers from around the world. I am passionate about fostering connections, sharing knowledge and celebrating the richness of language and culture. Welcome to Japan!

    Lamine was a great guide and gave us great insight to the history of Kyoto. Even though the weather did not cooperate, we had a great time.

    It was our first day in Japan and Lamine did a great job of making sure we saw the highlights at a pace that worked for us. We covered a lot in the day and Lamine shared information on his experiences as well as tips for the rest of our time in Japan. It was a very fun and enjoyable day!

    Lamine a été absolument parfait pendant les 2 jours. Nous ne pouvons que recommander ces services de guide privé. Notre famille de 4 personnes (dont deux enfants de 10 et 11ans) gardera des souvenirs à vie de ces deux jours à Kyoto. Encore merci pour tout !
