Hello, I'm Akari. Thank you for checking my profile. I'm originally from Kumamoto, in the southern part of Japan. At my university, I studied International Relations in Tokyo. I worked as a staff member of the Japanese government international youth program, "Ship for World Youth Program" and travel around the world by cruise ship. Then, since I love the book "Anne of Green Gables" from my childhood, I lived and worked in PEI and NL, Canada, for 2.5 years. After that, I returned to Japan, became self-employed, and started offering tours in Kyoto. I have a private tour, a Maiko-san tour (Maiko-san is a Geisha apprentice), and a sake tour, etc. After living in Kyoto for over ten years, I came back to Kumamoto, my hometown, in the spring of 2026. I still have some tours in Kyoto, and I have a tour team there. So I spend 3/4 weeks in Kumamoto, 1/4 in Kyoto. I love traveling. So not only Kumamoto and Kyoto, but also I'm happy to guide mainly West Japan. I'm happy to guide you to Kagoshima, Setouchi Inland Sea, Tokyo, Yokohama, Fukuoka, Hiroshima, etc., if you have requests.

Overview of your Yatsushiro tour
Welcome to Kumamoto. This is where I was born and raised. First, I'll pick you up at Kumamoto Port Yatsushiro. Then we'll take a taxi to Shin-Yatsushiro Station. From there, we'll board the Kyushu Shinkansen, famous for its 260 km/h speed, and arrive at Kumamoto Station in just about 10 minutes. From there, we'll visit Kumamoto Castle, a symbol of Kumamoto built in 1601. Then we'll stroll through the city, try some local specialties, visit the library donated by world-renowned architect Tadao Ando, and take a walk around the lake, a popular spot for locals. Of course, we'll take the Shinkansen back, and I'll drop you off at the port afterward.
