☆For Oct 5, I'm available after 12pm. Hello everyone. Thank you for that visit my profile. I was raised in several places, such as Tokyo, Yokohama, Kobe, Osaka, and Nagoya. I pursued an opportunity to teach in China. I worked as a Japanese teacher to foreigners in Shanghai. The longer I lived abroad, the more I came to appreciate the unique aspects of Japanese culture. So I started learning English and Chinese to become a bridge to help bring foreign visitors closer to Japanese culture. I like my job as a tour guide very much because it gives me the opportunity to meet many people from all over the world, all of them have different minds, cultures, traditions, history and etc. and we can share all of these with each other. I would be honored to be your guide as you tour our historically rich country. I am looking forward to traveling through Japan with you. Welcome to our beautiful country. National Government Licensed Interpreter ( English and Chinese ), I do not have any restrictions in regard to my guiding, I can offer a full range of experiences

We spent our first morning in Japan with Maru. She was a great guide and we loved our time with her. She is very knowledgeable and kind … explained the transportation system, general customs and traditions, took us to some great sites and even provided a few coins for offerings as well as sunscreen when it was sunnier than expected. Maru is an awesome guide, we would highly recommend!!

Maru is an excellent tour guide. Her English is excellent. She was very patient with our large, diverse, group. She was very flexible in choosing places and activities that fit our timing and interests. One of our group suffered a significant knee injury just a few weeks before our trip. Maru went out of her way to arrange wheelchairs at each of our stops. That was really appreciated.
