Message:
Welcome to Japan! Tokyo is a huge city with cutting-edge technology; however, it retains many traditional places. Tokyoites are modern; however, they follow many traditional events and rituals. I like meeting people and I am interested in cultural exchange. I’m so happy to guide and introduce you to unique Japanese history, culture and lifestyle. I can take you places off-the -beaten track as well as to must-see spots. Let’s enjoy and explore Tokyo and its suburbs together with a variety of foods and unique cultural experiences! I’m looking forward to seeing you soon!
