Welcome, guests! Thank you for visiting my page from among so many others! I was born and raised in Kobe and attended college in Osaka, so I am a native Kansai local! From September 2002 to August 2003, I lived in Montreal to learn English and French, where I met many international students from different backgrounds and cultures. Since then, I have been interested in cross-cultural communications, so I started pursuing a career as a tour guide. I passed the national license exam in 2018 and began working as a guide in 2019. I usually do one-day tours for small groups in Kyoto, Osaka, and Nara. What I love about the guiding job is that I can meet people with different backgrounds, cultures, and points of view, and we can have memorable moments together. I am always flexible with guests' suggestions to provide the best experience possible. Tell me what interests you, and I will do my best to fulfill your wish! I have raised two children and love having tours with families. I also love Japanese anime and enjoy talking about them with guests. I have also been playing the saxophone for over 20 years, so, if you are looking for musical goods in Japan, I can help you. Looking forward to meeting you!
