About me
My deep connection with Japan began in 1999, when I first set foot in Tokyo. During that time, I had the privilege of living with a Japanese family, immersing myself in their daily life while studying the language at a school in the heart of Shibuya.
That experience marked the beginning of both a personal and professional journey that allowed me to discover Japan from many different perspectives. In the following years, I worked for a company that took me to Tokyo every year for important corporate events, before further strengthening my experience by joining the team at JTB Corp[JM1.1][GP1.2][JM1.3].
My knowledge of Japan comes from study, work, first-hand exploration and direct, respectful contact with local people. Today, as a tour leader, I share this experience with travellers who wish to discover the country in an authentic and meaningful way.
On my tours, I love sharing not only the history and beauty of Japan’s iconic places, but also the customs, sensitivity and way of life of its extraordinary people. Those who travel with me can expect care, peace of mind and the chance to return home with Japan in their heart.
