Hi there! I’m Pere Ignasi, but you can call me Peri 😊. I’m originally from Spain, but Japan has been my home for years, and I’ve been lucky enough to share my passion for this incredible country as a tour guide. I offer tours all around the Kansai region, though my heart truly belongs to Osaka, Kyoto and Kobe: cities full of life, history, and amazing food. I speak Spanish, English, and Catalan, so you can explore comfortably in your own language. My journey as a guide started when friends came to visit me in Japan. I loved showing them my favourite hidden spots, taking them to great restaurants, and helping them discover local gems. That passion eventually became my profession, and now I get to do what I love every single day. Whether you’re into history, food, pop culture, or off-the-beaten-path experiences, I’ll tailor your tour to match your interests. Want to try new dishes? Explore ancient temples? Visit anime or video game spots? I’m here to make it happen! I also have years of experience working with children, so if you’re travelling as a family, I’ll create fun and engaging activities that everyone, adults and kids alike, will enjoy. The best part of my job? Meeting people from all over the world 🌎, sharing stories, and creating unforgettable memories together. I love to talk, so get ready for a lively, friendly, and energetic tour! Let me show you the magic of Kansai, its culture, flavours, and hidden corners. I can’t wait to explore with you! 🗺️
