What places and activities do you specialize in?

"I specialize in designing customized trips across Japan, from vibrant cities like Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka to scenic regions such as Hakone, Takayama, Kanazawa, and Hokkaido.

My expertise covers a wide range of experiences, including cultural immersion (tea ceremony, kimono dressing, calligraphy, samurai and ninja activities), nature and relaxation (hot spring stays with Mt. Fuji views, scenic hikes, cycling, coastal landscapes), and family-friendly adventures (theme parks, hands-on workshops, anime and pop culture experiences).

Whether you’re seeking a luxury getaway, a cultural deep-dive, or an off-the-beaten-path journey, I am dedicated to creating seamless, memorable itineraries tailored to your interests."

How did you get involved in travel?

"I majored in Tourism English in college, and that was when I truly fell in love with the world of travel. After graduating, I was fortunate to start my career with a travel company, where I began working as a local travel specialist. Over 15 years, I’ve grown from handling operations to designing customized journeys, and this experience has deepened my passion for helping others explore new cultures and destinations.

For me, travel is not just work—it’s a way of life. I believe travel keeps people young at heart, opens new perspectives, and creates lasting memories. That’s why I always bring my full passion and dedication into every trip I design."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"It was during the cherry blossom season when I went on a trip to Hakone. I stayed in a traditional Japanese ryokan, soaking in an open-air onsen while gazing at the majestic Mt. Fuji. As the cherry blossoms gently fell into the steaming waters, the scene etched itself deeply into my memory—a truly unforgettable experience."
