Hello, everyone!! My name is Yukihiro; call me "HERO. " I'm eager to introduce this unique country, Japan, to foreign guests!! I am qualified as an Okinawa Prefecture licensed Guide Interpreter. I retired from the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force(JGSDF=Japanese Army) in March 2018. I have spent most of my career as an Army NCO(Non-commissioned officer). My job experiences are only in the military, but there are various specialties, so I didn't feel bored. I lived in many places all over Japan, such as Hokkaido for ten years, Chiba for 15 years, Okinawa for 15 years, and other sites. I am working as a tour guide in Okinawa and Nagasaki, Japan. I live in Okinawa and Nagasaki half and half, and work as an interpreter tour guide in both places. I am qualified as an Okinawa prefectural interpreter tour guide (English & Chinese) but don't cover a whole Japan area certification. So I am brushing my skill up to upgrade it for the whole of Japan area. Qualified & registered as an Okinawa Prefectural Licensed Guide Interpreter(English and Chinese) in 2018. Registered as an Okinawa KARATE Guide Interpreter by Okinawa local government in 2021. Qualified Domestic Tour Conductor in 2018. Completed Advanced rescue course by Okinawa fire department HQ in 2017. My guiding area only has poor public transportation available. But I will arrange a suitable size rental car or taxi for the transportation. The number of people I can guide is up to 8 adults due to the means of transportation.
