Hello guests.
Welcome to Japan.
My name is Shuichi Manya (Shu).
I was born and grew up in Kyoto.
My backbone is engineering.
I had a lot of experiences performing engineering presentation to overseas customers in English as company employee.
I was interested in communication and motivated to become guide as freelance.
Now I have already many experiences guiding to FIT in Kyoto, Osaka and Nara.
Guests in same generation as myself love me. I fortunately got several times five star thanks to guests.
It is my pleasure that I could help overseas guests as a Japanese.
Hopefully you will love much more Japan after my tour.
Thank you.
Shu
