Hi, I'm Aimie Guiding is my passion, and I love meeting people from all over the world. Traveling is not only a joy but also a chance to learn about different cultures and connect with others. I’ve spent a year in Australia on a working holiday! I enjoy both stepping into nature and discovering hidden urban gems. Over the past year, I’ve had the pleasure of guiding guests and creating unforgettable travel experiences. I’ve worked with various travel agencies and led over 200 tours so far, earning more than 95 five-star reviews from wonderful guests! From authentic cultural tours to fun, pop-style adventures, I love customizing each tour to match your interests. As someone who grew up in Japan, I’m excited to share the stories, traditions, and everyday wonders that make this country so unique. I’ll help you make your trip truly memorable. I can provide insights into local culture, history, art, food, fashion, and pop culture. I especially enjoy designing family-friendly tours where both kids and parents can have fun together. As a mom, I know what children enjoy and make sure everyone feels welcome and cared for. With a touch of Japanese Omotenashi hospitality, you can also expect a few fun surprises along the way! I’m happy to tailor your itinerary to your requests, whether it’s a focus on food, history, art, or something unique you’d like to explore. Let’s explore Japan together like family—I can’t wait to meet you and share the country I love!
