Hi, I'm Akio, a National Government Licensed Guide based in Yokohama. Since 2016, I have had the privilege of hosting over 800 tailored tours across Tokyo, Yokohama, Kamakura, and Hakone. Originally from Kagawa Prefecture, a region blessed with the beauty of the Seto Inland Sea, I spent 30 years working for a global tech company in Tokyo. Engaging with international colleagues gave me a profound appreciation for Japan through global eyes, inspiring me to transition from a passionate traveler into a professional guide. I have a deep love for authentic cuisine, rich history, and exceptional architecture. Unlike rigid group itineraries, my tours emphasize experiencing "genuine" Japan—connecting you with breathtaking scenery, hidden gems, and the vibrant daily life of the places we visit. Let's craft unforgettable memories together and explore Japan more deeply. Thank you, and I look forward to seeing you in Japan!
