Hi, thank you very much for viewing my profile.
I'm a national licensed guide as well as a Kyoto Visitors Host since 2016.
I have lived in Kyoto, Osaka, Tokyo and the US so far and worked in the entertainment industry as an interpreter, coordinator and production assistant for over 15 years. （music, stage, theme park, TV shooting, and business meeting in general and manufacturing industry)
I am a cheerful person, and strive to possess a profound knowledge of Japanese culture, especially about Kyoto. My hobbies are cooking, listening to music, and traveling.
I love nature and appreciate traditional culture, so a hiking tour, visiting traditional craft factories, and experiencing Japanese culture ( tea ceremony or zen meditation ) are just some of activities that are available.
I will try my best to make your trip in Japan memorable and unique. You can explore Kyoto (not only major sightseeing spots, but also local specialty shops and restaurants) as well as other areas of Japan.
Having a local guide who will answer about Japanese culture and Japanese spirits without language problems will save your precious time and make your trip that much more special while you are in Japan.
Looking forward to seeing you in Kyoto!
