What Is a Private Cultural Day Tour in Japan Like? A Licensed Guide's Report
The guests came to Japan for the first time. They are very interested in Japanese culture, so they were happy to see everything. They tried soba, beef, and ice cream! We had a precious opportunity to enjoy Japanese tea, thanks to a friend of mine. Not only the guests but also I enjoyed this tour!

I was born and raised in Osaka, so I am a very friendly person.
I always look forward to seeing new people.
After marriage, I have lived in Nagoya city, so I know about not only Kansa Area but also Central Area.
I have been tour-guiding people for about 8 years.
I enjoy one day tour and a long tour, which is enjoyable to introduce many places.
I often tourguide people in Takayama and Shirakawago which is a World Heritage Site.
I love mother of nature, so I am happy to be able to enjoy each season over there.
Moreover I love Japanese culture and history, so I am very glad to introduce Japanese culture such as Japanese folk songs, flower arrangements, tea ceremony and Origami.
I hope I can introduce these to you!
