I am very interested in Tour Guiding for foreigners. Because I like travel all over the world and I learned how to do the tour guide. For example I have been traveling south Asia (included south east Asia), Europe, Africa, North & South America. Basically I travel alone. In such places, I have joined a tour group there, and learned technique of how to guide from tour guides. Of course, in Japan I did it too. In these reasons, I would like to get a chance of tour guide and give foreigners "HOW WONDERFUL FUKUSHIMA & JAPAN" IS.

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.
