What Is a Private Guided Tour in Japan Like? A Licensed Guide's Report

I was able to meet the guests at their hotel without any trouble and was glad to guide them. I hope the guests had an enjoyable time. The weather was good, and in addition to guiding, we were able to talk about many topics such as politics, education, and labor conditions in their home region (North America), which was very informative for me. This was the first time I took on a job through this arrangement. I was a little concerned because responses through the travel agency abroad were rather slow. The messaging app I was advised to use was extremely helpful. I look forward to working with you again.

I was an English teacher of a high school in Hiroshima.
I retired early from my job in March in 2024.
I might be of use to you if you’d like to get to know the present educational situation in Hiroshima.
I had many opportunities to introduce Japanese culture when I taught Japanese in high school in America for two years.
I can take you to the place where you can listen to music because I used to be a member of a music band.
I like Japanese chess, fishing, skiing.
I’m willing to do some activities with you.
I would be most happy to help you know culture in Hiroshima.
