Your Wish.Your Experience.Your Japan.
You came all the way to Japan.Is there something you really want to do?

Something you can only experience in Japan.
Something you can't do alone — or simply don't want to do alone.

Not sure how to make it happen?
No problem.

Don't give up on it.
Talk to me first.

Tell me what you have in mind — even if it's unusual, difficult, or something you've never seen offered as a tour.

I'll see if I can create a personal experience just for you.

Your wish.Your experience.Your Japan.

Hello and welcome!

I'm Kazu, a local host based in Osaka and Kyoto, with experience assisting more than 7,500 international guests from over 75 countries.While Osaka and Kyoto are my home bases, I can also help create personalized experiences across the wider Kansai region.

Born and raised in Osaka, I have also lived abroad and spent many years working with people from different countries and cultures.
These experiences have given me a natural understanding of both Japanese culture and international perspectives.

I enjoy helping visitors discover not only the famous sights of Japan, but also the culture, customs, everyday life, food, neighborhoods, and experiences that are often difficult to discover on your own.

But your experience doesn't have to follow a fixed itinerary.

Maybe you already have something specific in mind.

Maybe there is a place you want to visit, something you want to try, or an experience you have always wanted to have in Japan — but you don't want to do it alone.

Or maybe you have no idea what you want to do yet.

That's perfectly fine.

Tell me what you like, what interests you, or what you've always been curious about.

I'll listen to your idea and see how I can help turn it into a real experience.

My experience includes cultural experiences, walking tours, business visits, corporate training programs, and personalized support for international visitors.With more than 35 years of business experience, I am comfortable working with both leisure travelers and business professionals.

I have also published a Kindle eBook, *Japanese Manners & Etiquette*, reflecting my passion for helping international visitors understand Japanese customs and feel more comfortable in Japan.

Looking for something unusual?

Please ask.

It could be food, sports, local neighborhoods, Japanese daily life, traditional culture, shopping, cars, music, nightlife, hobbies, or something completely different.

You don't have to choose from a fixed menu.

Tell me what you want to do.I'll see what I can do to make it happen.

Planning a special trip?
Last-minute requests are also welcome.
If you suddenly decide that there is something you'd like to experience tomorrow, just reach out to me.I'll check my schedule and do my best to accommodate you whenever possible.

Don't give up on your Japan wish before asking.

I look forward to meeting you in Japan!
