Philosophy & Vision
Guide's Philosophy
Authentic Japanese Experiences – With a Licensed Japan Tour Guide
• Authentic Japan, Expertly Guided – Direct to YouDiscover Japan beyond the guidebooks. As a government-licensed
Japan tour guide, I create tailor-made social and cultural tours for groups and individuals. Work directly with me for
immersive Japan travel – no middleman.
• As a guide, I assist in creating a journey that is "only now, only here, only for you."
"Only now" represents time, "only here" signifies place, and "only for you" means a personalized experience.
Guide's Policy
• Introducing Japan’s Timeless Traditions
The English-speaking guide operates an antique shop (Kakkutsu-do) and plays a role in conveying Japan’s traditional
aesthetics (artworks) to foreign visitors.
• Providing Flexible Itineraries Across Japan
The concept of "only now, only here, only for you" applies not only to individual travelers but also to group tours
organized for those who may find independent travel challenging, such as elderly travelers.
• Enhancing Classic Tours with Unique Insights
For standard tour courses offered by domestic and international travel agencies, I strive to incorporate elements that
allow visitors to experience the "real Japan" (Japan’s deeper cultural essence) whenever possible.
