I love to talk to people and am very interested in learning about different cultures. Therefore, I have traveled to more than 20 countries around the world, including Japan, North America, Europe, and Asia.
I have worked in the financial services industry for over 30 years and have also worked in the UK and the US. I have also entertained business partners and guided sightseeing tours in Tokyo and Kyoto. All of these experiences have helped me develop my guiding strengths.
I also enjoy the Japanese martial arts, which emphasize not only physical strength and skill, but also courtesy and mental discipline, so I also practice Kyudo.
When I attended business school in the U.S. and later worked in Boston and London, the local people helped me, but now it is my turn.
Thanks to your support, the number of foreign visitors to Japan has been increasing rapidly since last year. Since March last year, I have conducted about 100 days of tours mainly in and around Tokyo, including Kyoto and Hokkaido, and many guests were pleased with my services (more than 50 five-star ratings).
I look forward to continuing to work with guests from around the world to create memorable trips in Japan.
I want you to enjoy the charms of Japan and become fans of Japan.
I look forward to meeting you and other guests from abroad in Japan.
Japan has many wonderful things to offer the world.
I want guests from all over the world to become overwhelming fans of Japan by experiencing its beautiful nature, culture (including food and cultural experiences), and history. By guiding with a smile and sincerity, I would like to respond to the intellectual curiosity and inquisitiveness of you and other guests from abroad .

I am very much looking forward to walking around the streets of major sightseeing spots in Tokyo (Asakusa, Imperial Palace, Meiji Shrine, Harajuku Omotesando, Ueno, Yanaka, Akihabara, etc.) and its suburbs (Kamakura, Yokohama, Kawagoe, etc.) to discover what I can use to guide my guests.
