I’m a Tokyo-based content creator and private tour guide helping travelers explore Japan in a more personal, relaxed, and meaningful way. I work with small groups and individual travelers — people who want more than just a checklist of sights. My tours are customized and private, with a focus on hidden gems, cultural depth, and a slower, more thoughtful travel experience. I also offer photo and video tours for those wanting to capture their trip professionally. Whether it’s your first time in Japan or you’re returning to discover more, I help you see a different, more authentic side of the country — with local insight and professional support.
After visiting Japan multiple times and eventually moving here in 2015, I began creating travel content to share everyday life and cultural insight. But it was my own experience as a traveler — in over 30 countries — that shaped how I guide others today. I noticed that every trip became more memorable when a local or friend showed me around. In Amsterdam, a local creator took me to places I would’ve never found on my own. In Egypt, a friend brought me to a hidden café I still think about. These small, personal moments were what made each trip feel truly special.
That’s why I do what I do now — to offer others that same kind of travel experience in Japan. As someone who understands the culture deeply but also sees Japan through a traveler’s eyes, I act as a bridge between both worlds. I help people experience Japan more fully, and more mindfully — with less stress and more connection.
Local expertise and cultural insight — I’ve lived in Japan since 2015, speak fluent Japanese, and can help with things like translations, restaurant reservations, or navigating cultural differences.
Personalized planning — Every tour is customized based on your interests, travel style, and pace. I love creating thoughtful itineraries that balance main sights with local discoveries.
Hidden gems and authentic spots — I’ll take you beyond the tourist trails to places most visitors don’t find on their own.
Support throughout your trip — From prep to on-the-ground help, I’m organized, responsive, and make sure everything runs smoothly.
Experience as a traveler — I’ve been to over 30 countries and know what makes a trip feel meaningful, stress-free, and memorable.
Content creator’s eye — As a professional since 2017, I can offer photo or video tours, or simply help you get great content during your trip.
Mid-range pricing, high attention to detail — I offer solid value without cutting corners on quality or service.
Slow, mindful travel approach — My focus is on cultural depth, local connection, and enjoying the moment — not rushing from place to place.
A bridge between cultures — I understand Japan deeply, but I also know what first-time visitors need — and I help make that connection smooth and comfortable.
