Hello! I am Seiko, National Licensed Guide since 2007.

Private tours available in:
Kyoto, Osaka, Nara, Kobe, Himeji, Naoshima, Kurashiki, Okayama
Nagano (Snow monkey park, Obuse, Togakushi area, Myoko, Joetsu)


I was born and raised in Kurashiki (Okayama pref.), spent my college days in Kyoto, lived in Osaka for more than 15 years and recently moved to a city near Nagano (guiding in Kyoto, Osaka, Nara etc in spring & fall, Nagano area in summer & winter).

I studied Hospitality & Tourism in Wisconsin/USA for 2 years and worked as a translator/interpreter, market researcher, and executive assistant with global companies in Japan for many years where I enjoyed spending a precious time with people from different backgrounds and cultures and broaden my world and horizons.
I myself am a traveler for life, been to more than 30 countries and all the prefectures in Japan. I am also a hiker, kayaker, scuba diver, and snowboarder enjoying myself mostly outdoors in every season.

Please feel free to let me know if you have special interests and/or specific items that you are looking for in Japan. Also, it would be nice to know if you have any physical challenges, food allergies, or anything that I should know before the tour.
Let’s have a fun time and unique experience with me!
