I am a professional Japan travel specialist and published author, originally from Osaka, with over 10 years of experience living across Japan, including Tokyo.

I have guided more than 5,000 international guests from over 65 countries, conducting 600 tours with zero incidents.

Having spent nearly a decade in North America, I understand both Western expectations and Japanese social norms.
My specialty is helping travelers navigate Japan smoothly by explaining unspoken manners, cultural expectations, and decision-making mindset that guidebooks rarely cover.

My experiences are highly flexible and guest-driven, ranging from cultural walking tours and creative sessions like kanji experiences to in-depth travel advice and private discussions.
I tailor each experience to guests’ interests, helping them explore Japan smoothly, confidently, and with genuine cultural understanding.
