Hello! I’m Nicolás, a multilingual guide from Argentina who has spent the last seven years exploring every corner of Japan and turning that passion into unforgettable travel experiences. Today, Japan is not just where I live — it’s truly my second home, and I love opening its doors to travellers from all over the world. What makes my tours different? I won’t just take you to places — I'll connect you with Japan in a way that feels personal, authentic and alive. With a background in Japanese language, culture and history, plus two years studying traditional Japanese calligraphy (shodō), I bring layers of insight that most guides never touch on. My years of work in the local tourism industry have allowed me to collect countless stories, perspectives and hidden spots that transform a simple day out into a genuine cultural discovery. I can guide in Spanish, English and Japanese, and my style is flexible, friendly and deeply conversational. I love sharing history and culture from multiple points of view — not just the textbook version — so you can understand Japan the way locals do. Having studied gastronomy and being a passionate home cook, I also know where to find incredible meals, from secret neighbourhood gems to must-try classics. Whether it’s iconic landmarks, back-alley treasures, unique neighbourhoods or immersive cultural moments, every tour with me is crafted to feel tailored, welcoming and truly one-of-a-kind. My goal is simple: to make you feel like you’re exploring Japan with a trusted friend who knows the country inside and out. If you want a guide who brings knowledge, warmth and years of lived experience — someone who'll listen to what you want and build a day you’ll remember forever — I’d be honoured to show you around Japan. Let’s make your trip unforgettable!

Overview of your Kyoto tour

Join me for an unforgettable full-day journey from Kyoto or Osaka to Hiroshima aboard the Shinkansen. Together, we'll explore the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, visit the iconic Atomic Bomb Dome, and walk through the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, where I'll share the history of the city, its remarkable recovery, and its message of peace. After lunch, we'll take a scenic ferry to Miyajima, one of Japan's most beautiful islands. There, we'll visit the magnificent Itsukushima Shrine and its famous floating torii gate, stroll through charming streets, meet the friendly deer, and enjoy free time to browse local shops or sample regional specialties. We'll then return by ferry and Shinkansen, ending our day back in Kyoto or Osaka with unforgettable memories of Hiroshima's history and Miyajima's timeless beauty.
