I am a Japanspecialist tour guide: I lead Hungarian tour groups exclusively in Japan, while in Hungary I guide Japanese visitors – and have done so for more than 30 years.

Japan has been my passion ever since I began studying Japanese at university. I first visited the country in 1994 as a scholarship student, and the experience left a deep impression on me from the very beginning: the thoughtfulness of the people, the diversity of the culture, the beauty of the landscapes, the richness of its architectural heritage and the distinctive world of Japanese cuisine.

Later, my Japanese husband and I travelled through the entire country, yet I still feel that Japan reveals something new on every visit. This is what I still find most fascinating about Japan: it feels both familiar and full of new discoveries, deeply rooted in tradition yet constantly evolving.

I always encourage my guests to ask questions. I believe a journey becomes truly meaningful when we go beyond simply seeing a place and begin to understand it. Let’s discover Japan together!
