Hello! I am Takanori, your local English and Portuguese-speaking Guide and Interpreter in Kagawa, the hidden gem of Japan's Shikoku island. My journey as a guide began with my own adventures. In my teens and twenties, I traveled extensively, living in the United States for three years and in Brazil for one year. During those years, I realized that the most cherished memories weren't just from visiting famous landmarks; they came from interacting with locals, sharing meals, and experiencing the rhythm of daily life. These are the "real" moments you can't find in a guidebook or on the internet. Now, I want to provide that same authentic connection to guests visiting my hometown. I believe Kagawa, the smallest prefecture in Japan, is a concentrated treasure chest of craftsmanship, unforgettable cuisine (like our famous Sanuki Udon and "Honetsukidori" chicken), deep-rooted traditions, and breathtaking scenery. Every tour I design is 100% tailor-made, shaped entirely around your interests, pace, and curiosity. Whether you want to explore the world-class Bonsai village to meet master artisans I know personally, or visit hidden scenic gems like the "Sky Torii" of Takaya Shrine that large bus tours cannot reach, I am here to make it happen. My promise to you is simple: if something seems impossible, I’ll do my best to find a way. As a specialist in the 200-year history of Takamatsu Bonsai and a professional with experience welcoming luxury cruise passengers and VIPs, I blend deep local knowledge with high-level hospitality. I often use my professional photography skills to capture the perfect moments of your journey, ensuring you go home with memories that last a lifetime. I look forward to meeting you at the port or station. Let’s create an unforgettable, "only-in-Kagawa" experience together!

Overview of your Kochi tour

Begin your journey in Kochi City and travel to the small mountain town of Shingu. Visit a tea farm that grows tea without pesticides, and taste their top-quality tea. Try daifuku made with that tea as an ingredient (this daifuku actually won first place in a nationwide competition for Japan's best sweets), and savor fragrant cha-soba as well. Tea leaf souvenirs are available too. This is a "green tour" in every sense — the green of the mountains, the green of the tea, the green of eco-tourism, and support for sustainable agriculture.

Your Kochi tour itinerary

After picking you up at Kochi Port, we will visit the following locations. * A tea farm in Shingu, a remote mountain town * Enjoy sweets and a meal made with organically grown tea at a roadside station * If you’d like, you can also relax at the hot spring located on the premises I also offer several lunch options. Whether you want to try the world-class seared bonito, refreshing yuzu-infused sushi, crispy local gyoza, or the rare Tosa Akaushi Wagyu beef, the meal can be customized according to your allergies, dietary restrictions, and personal preferences, so please feel free to let me know in advance.
