Hi! I am a licensed English-speaking tour guide with strong experience in private and group tours across Japan. Formerly a high school teacher - I taught mathematics and participated in international exchange programs. I have excellent communication and presentation skills, and I enjoy explaining Japanese culture, history, and daily life in a clear and engaging way. Currently, I operate private tours using my own comfortable minivan, offering flexible and personalized travel experiences for international guests. I conducted numerous customized tours for international visitors, including families, students, and cruise passengers. I specialize in cultural, historical, and scenic tours throughout major cities and rural regions. My guiding style is warm, informative, and filled with humor—ensuring every guest feels relaxed and inspired throughout their journey. Friendly, informative, and flexible. I believe every guest deserves not just a tour—but a joyful cultural experience filled with smiles, stories, and discoveries!
