I am a registered National Tour Guide (English). It has been my pleasures to show people this wonderful corner of Japan where every turn and every day brings a new experience. I am able to tailor tours to your individual needs and interests. There are many hidden gems waiting to be discovered here: hot springs, local gourmet, traditional festivals, tranquil tea houses, new technology, zen experience and local people. Look forward to seeing you soon.

I can also help you switch your foreign vehicle licence to a Japanese licence.

Hello! I’m here to assist you in exploring the literary heritage of Fukushima Prefecture, following in the footsteps of writers and poets, including the renowned Matsuo Bashō.

I can also provide interpretation services in Polish (please note that I am not a certified Polish tour guide, so my role will be limited to interpretation only). If you need an interpreter when welcoming guests from Poland, feel free to reach out. I would be happy to help!

My goal is to provide a safe and comfortable guided experience for visitors who sincerely appreciate and respect Japanese culture, traditions, and customs.
However, I am unable to accept requests from individuals who deliberately violate Japan’s laws, ethics, morals, or social norms, or engage in disruptive or illegal activities.
I warmly welcome those who wish to enjoy their stay in Japan with respect and responsibility.
