Before working as a Certified National Tour Guide that I started 9years ago, I had worked for seafood industry for over 20years with experiences visiting many foreign countries, such as U. S. A, Canada, Norway, Iceland, U. K. , Holland, Poland, Russia, Chile, China, South Korea, Indonesia, Thailand and others…. As well as visiting many foreign countries, I also visited many places all over Japan, from north to south. I used to live in the east coast of the U. S. for participating in master's program for International Community Economic Development where I met people from many countries with various backgrounds. With those experiences, I think I had got communication skills for people from various cultural backgrounds. And, those experiences inspired me to become a guide to introduce my country, Japan to people from all over the world. I think Japan is very attractive country on both culture and nature. I am a Certified National Tour Guide who is authorized by Japan National Tourism Agency which is an external bureau of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. I also have a license of domestic itinerary administration manager. It is posslbe to offer you customized tours depending on your request as well.
