Born and raised in the heart of the Kansai region, I bring a unique blend of deep local roots and an extensive international background to my tours. My journey began with a passion for languages, leading me to major in Spanish and study in Mexico under a government scholarship. After graduating, I spent 15 years in Tokyo, building a career at one of Japan’s leading global trading companies (Sogo Shosha). My professional path in finance and accounting eventually led me to support IPOs and startups, restructuring global operations for various firms. In 2022, I solidified this expertise by earning my MBA. Today, I have returned to my roots in Kansai, where I offer bespoke tours in English and Spanish. While my primary focus is the rich history and vibrant culture of Kyoto, Osaka, and Nara, my 15 years in Tokyo allow me to provide expert guidance in the Kanto area upon request. Whether you are looking for a deep dive into ancient heritage or a modern look at Japan’s business and social landscape, I am dedicated to creating a seamless and insightful journey for you.
