Yokohama Nissan Heritage Museum or Sake brewery tour.

Hello, Hajimemashite! ("Nice to meet you" in Japanese) My name is Akira (Arti) and I would like to be your tour guide when you decide to visit my home country, Japan. First of all, I would like to thank you for looking at my pages. I have been working as a nationally licensed tour guide in Japan since 2010 and JGA class-A guide. I have guided more than 500 groups, working more than 130 days a year. I am a 75 year old male, living in Yokohama suburbs adjacent to Tokyo with my wife. I lived in the USA, Spain and Germany experiencing the local life, culture, language and negotiations. My hobby is riding motorcycles (KTM and Vespa scooters) so I hope to find riders among you travelers too. I travel throughout Japan, not only in guide business, but also on my bikes. My "Around Japan" journey is on its 10th lap and I have been visiting different places and routes every time. That is how I accumulated all the local information which helps me a lot as a guide. I can take you to non tourism places such as various factory tours, utilizing my electrical and mechanical engineering back ground. I have also been a railroad fan since 12 yrs old which helps me to take around travelers to local railroad lines in beautiful sceneries. I lived in the United States for 8 years with my family and have visited 45 countries in the world on business and for pleasure so I understand the people and cultures of many other countries. I recently finished my 6 month Spanish training in Valencia, Spain so I can guide in Spanish, too. My other interest areas are the biology, entomology, linguistics, paleontology and electronics. I am a back alley food gourmet, and of course, I love drinking sake at local back alley taverns, too. So, just email me about your interest in Japan! I will give you various suggestions when you decide to select Japan for your travel destination. I am more than happy to customize your trip for you, too. I am available for multiple days depending on my availability. I own a national license in English speaking guide, itinerary management and an unlimited class motorcycle rider's license. I have been trained in a Japanese and American travel agencies as a guide. I have a master's degree in physics and electronics. I do not drive travelers but need to use publicly available transportation measures. I do not guide underaged persons nor wheel chaired person alone unless accompanied by his/her family due to the local regulations.
