*In 2024, I had the incredible honor of being recognized as the NO. 1 most booked tour guide of the year—Not Just IN Japan, But WORLDWIDE—on the platform. Building on that milestone, in 2025, I was proud to receive the prestigious Golden Guide Award: Local Legend – East & Southeast Asia, celebrating excellence across the region.* Hello!

Walking its streets, you’ll feel the energy of both the old and the new, and I’d love to take you on a journey to explore this dynamic city up close. But my tours don’t stop there—Kyoto is another city close to my heart.

So, if you’re ready to explore, eat, and experience Japan like a local, let’s make your next adventure truly special together!
