Hi, I’m YOU – your guide in Japan!
I worked in the travel industry for over 37 years, leading more than 250 tours in Japan and abroad. I also lived in London for 4 years as a travel company manager, and spent several months in Mexico – so I’m used to welcoming guests from all over the world.
With Nagano as my base – famous for its mountains, temples, and castles – I offer tours throughout Japan. Each tour is tailored to your interests, pace, and travel style, and I am flexible in adjusting the plan so you can truly enjoy the journey in your own way.
I love sharing stories about Japanese history, culture, samurai, and everyday life, with a special passion for castles. As a volunteer guide at Matsumoto Castle, I’ve welcomed over 100 groups.
My goal is to make your trip not only enjoyable, but also filled with moments you will remember for a lifetime. I look forward to meeting you and creating a wonderful experience together!
