Message

Welcome! I’m a local Osakan. I love to showcase amazing areas of Kyoto, Osaka and Nara. I am an avid historical buff and eager to share what I have learned with visitors.
I’ll help you see more than your eyes can catch. As a 100% Japanese, I’ll also entertain you with my personal episodes or family anecdotes, such as how I felt when the Great East Japan Earthquake occurred in 2011.
Many of my clients showed their gratitude to my attentiveness and hospitality resulting in an experience of bringing up 2 children.
I’m the quintessential tourist, and love exploring various places in and out of Japan.
I’ll adapt your tour to your pace and preferences.
Please come and have fun with me.
I look forward to seeing you and showing you around!
