Tour guide in Niigata Kei S.

Hello! I am Kei, a Licensed National Tour Guide who specializes in the Hokuriku region of Japan. I currently live in Joetsu City, Niigata Prefecture, which allows me to have in-depth knowledge not only of Niigata but also of the entire Hokuriku area, including Toyama, Ishikawa, and the beautiful city of Kanazawa. While Kanazawa is one of my main focuses, living in Niigata gives me a special insight into its culture, history and certainly hidden gems that many visitors might miss. If you are someone who wants to dive deeper into Japanese culture and history, explore off-the-beaten-path locations and connect with the local way of life, I would be thrilled to guide you. From traditional crafts and historic districts to serene natural spots and culinary experiences, there is so much to uncover in this region. My aim is to help visitors not just see the sights, but truly experience and understand the culture, traditions and spirit of Hokuriku & Niigata. With a wide smile and genuine enthusiasm, I look forward to welcoming you and sharing the beauty & richness of this region. Let’s explore Japan together in a way that goes beyond typical sightseeing and creates memories you will treasure forever!
