I'm a nationally licensed English-speaking tour guide with a passion for culture, connection, and everyday stories of Japan.
Born in Kobe and now living in Tokyo for over 16 years, I love showing guests the heart of the city—not just the famous sights, but also the local neighborhoods, daily life, and what Tokyo feels like now.

My love for travel started young, thanks to my adventurous grandmother.That curiosity led me to study anthropology in Hawaii and Ohio, work as a writer in New York, and volunteer in a small Thai village.
After working in editing and marketing for 10 years, I changed my path and stepped into the travel industry in 2013.I started as a tour leader taking Japanese travelers abroad to places like Europe, Africa, and Asia—then I found my true calling: guiding visitors from around the world here in Japan.

My tour style is relaxed and friendly—more like walking with a local friend.
I enjoy sharing not just Japan’s rich history, but also stories about daily culture, social trends, language tips, and what it’s like to live here today.If you're curious about what's behind the surface of Japan, I’d love to show you!

Let’s talk, walk, and explore together.
I look forward to meeting you and making your trip special!
