About us

     I was born in 1947. And I grew up in Oyama city, Totigi prefecture. Then I was educated in Tokyo. After that I worked for a automotive company, then I have worked for its subsidiary in Canada and the United States of America for fourteen years as an expatriate employee.

      Since I retired, I have enjoyed climbing, hiking, cycling, and driving throughout Japan. I have visited many National Parks and fifteen World Heritage sites in Japan.

     In 2014, I was certified as an national guide, and then    started a guide business. 


Gears (PC, GPS, iPhone, maps, mountain and riding shoes, gloves,  detergent, etc. ) for traveling are ready to go in my vehicle. Just food is only required.

    I have been in North America for almost 14 years as an expatriate employee. At that time my English was not so good but I got guts to speak English without fear. However I enjoyed to manage the company with local people, even though I could not introduce them Japanese culture and history very well. Therefore I studied English, Japanese culture and history. Then finally I got the certificate for a national guide.


            We traveled throughout Japan such as Kyoto, Nara, Hikkaido, Kyushu, etc., however, Tochigi prefecture is one of the beautiful regions in Japan where we are going to introduce.
