Konnichiwa!
Hello, my future friends,

I have been a National Government Licensed Guide and Interpreter in English since 2015, and am a local travel expert. I was born in Kyotango and love crafts, Sake & fine cuisine, Tango silk textiles and riding e-bikes.

I have traveled to more than 55 countries around the world over the past 25 years as an experienced travel guide.
Upon return to Kyotango, I rediscovered the beauty of my hometown.
I would like to share with you the slow but happy lifestyle, the wonders of nature, the priceless handcraft and the local gastronomy.

Kyotango is an off-the-beaten-track destination and I am excited to be your private interpreter/guide.
And of course, after enjoying our authentic experience, a Kanpai, or Cheers, over a glass of Sake is a must!
