I specialize in FIT and small-group tours across Nara, Kyoto, Osaka, and the Kii Peninsula, creating engaging experiences tailored to each guest’s interests and pace.
Beyond sightseeing, I enjoy connecting visitors with local people, everyday culture, nature, and authentic experiences, helping them discover a deeper side of Japan.
With extensive training in Asuka, Nara, I am a certified Asuka Professional Guide and Official Heritage Guide, with in-depth knowledge of the region’s archaeology, ancient history, cultural heritage, and traditional rural landscapes.
In Asuka, I work closely with local restaurants, experience providers, and the local government, creating opportunities for travelers to connect with the community and experience the region beyond its famous historical sites.
