Welcome to Japan! I’m Shogo K. National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter in English. “Shogo?” Looks a little bit hard to pronounce. So if you are interested in Samurai, you can call me “Shogun”. Rather hen-pecked in my family, though. 🙂 I’ve been here as a guide ever since 2018.
Here’s a little information about myself. I was born and grew up in Himeji, world-famous for its Castle. I used to live in USA for two years in my 20s. Ever since I got married, I’ve been living in Kobe with my family. So I’m very much familiar with Kyoto, Osaka, Nara, and Himeji all in western Japan.
One of my hobbies has long been going trekking over high mountains like the Japan Alps in central Japan, soaking in local hot springs, and enjoying local dishes & sake. I’ve also enjoyed exploring overseas like the US, the UK, Mongolia, Mexico, and New Zealand. It was really great fun. Through explorations, I think I’ve learned to see what the tourists need and how they want to be treated while staying in Japan!
I’d like to show you whole-heartedly the beautiful and historic spots of Japan, including again Kyoto, Osaka, Nara, Himeji, Kobe, spiritual Koyasan, and more.
It’s always my great pleasure showing you across the country, and helping you feel and explore the very places Japanese. I hope you will have an ENJOYABLE and MEMORABLE trip.
I’ll see you over time. Thank you. And have happy travels. 🙂
