My Story
I was born in 1985 and raised in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, where I lived for 18 years until completing high school. I pursued a degree in Business Administration at a university in Oklahoma, USA. After graduating, I returned to Japan and spent five years working in sales in the IT industry before transitioning to the vending machine logistics sector, where I worked for 10 years. During this time, I also collaborated with international companies, which gave me opportunities to deepen my appreciation for Japanese culture.
With the rise in international tourism to Japan, I was inspired to share the richness of Japanese culture and obtained a national guide qualification. I now work as a guide, offering cultural experiences tailored to each guest's preferences.
While Japan is renowned for its iconic cities like Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto, the supporting regional cities, such as Nagoya and its surrounding areas, offer a deeper connection to authentic Japanese culture. These regions are truly remarkable, and I am passionate about sharing their beauty and charm with visitors.
Let me help you create a unique and memorable journey that highlights the best of Japan.
