Guide's Philosophy

Licensed Guide for Authentic Japanese Experiences　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Authentic Japan, Expertly Guided – Direct to You　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Experience Japan beyond the guidebooks. Licensed by the Japanese government, I offer immersive, tailor-made cultural journeys for your clients – without middlemen.　　　　　　　　As a guide, I assist in creating a journey that is "only now, only here, only for you."
"Only now" represents time, "only here" signifies place, and "only for you" means a personalized experience.

Guide's Policy

①Introducing Japan’s Timeless Traditions
The English-speaking guide operates an antique shop (Kakkutsu-do) and plays a role in conveying Japan’s traditional aesthetics (artworks) to foreign visitors.
②Providing Flexible Itineraries Across Japan
The concept of "only now, only here, only for you" applies not only to individual travelers but also to group tours organized for those who may find independent travel challenging, such as elderly travelers.
③Enhancing Classic Tours with Unique Insights
For standard tour courses offered by domestic and international travel agencies, I strive to incorporate elements that allow visitors to experience the "real Japan"
(Japan’s deeper cultural essence) whenever possible.

Guide’s Mindset　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

①Safety-first itinerary management
②A spirit of hospitality that ensures peace of mind upon arrival and satisfaction upon departure
③High-quality, customer-oriented guidance that leaves guests thinking, "I'm
