Hello to all the foreign tourists coming to Japan.
Thank you very much for choosing Japan among the many destinations in the world!
I’m sure many of you stay in Kyoto, but the number of tourists has increased year by year and the congestion is getting worse nowadays.in such a case, why don’t you take just a little train ride and enjoy a nice local city in Japan? You will surely be able to relax in touch with nature and local life in Japan, which is not found in big cities.Working together with professional interpreter guides, this blog introduces you to the suburbs where you can easily go from Kyoto and Osaka. Of course, you are welcome to contact the guide by e-mail to discuss your private guided tour.It is good to go by yourself, it is also nice to request a guide service. Enjoy the suburbs of Japan in your style!

Activities as a National licensed guide

In 2014, I passed a licensed interpreter guide exam and started working as a freelance guide, mainly providing private tour guide services to individual customers.The scope of the guide is mainly in the Kinki region of Kyoto, Osaka, Nara, Shiga, Hyogo, and Mie, but I will take you anywhere in Japan according to your request. I specialize in history, Buddhism, Shintoism, Shugendo, Ninja, and outdoor activities such as road bikes, trekking, and kayaking, as well as general sightseeing.

From the point of view of a professional guide, why do I recommend the suburbs?

This is unavoidable, but in my usual job as a guide, I always guide around famous sightseeing spots that tend to be crowded, in Kyoto, Osaka, and Nara. But honestly speaking, I want everyone who visits Japan to know more about the beauty of the suburbs. Even though the suburb, you don’t have to take trains or cars for hours. By leaving the big city away a little bit, you can touch the charming scenery and life that is being lost in city life. In this blog, I would like to introduce how you can get out of the crowds and discover such wonderful places just by taking a short trip.
