Make the most of your trip to Japan with the help of a bilingual Japanese travel planner. A Kyoto native who currently calls Okinawa home, I started my career in the travel industry working as a concierge at Kyoto’s Tourism Information Center. There I developed a passion for helping travelers truly immerse in Japanese culture, from booking stays at Kyoto’s beautiful ‘machiya’ traditional homes to encouraging them to seek out the city’s hidden gems. I’ve also worked as a customer service representative for ANA – Japan’s largest airline – and held customer support and management roles at Airbnb Japan. Today, I'm the owner and lead guide of Japan Planned Tours, a small-group tour company I run myself, personally accompanying every itinerary alongside an English-speaking local guide. As a nationally certified domestic travel business manager, I help tourists from all around the world discover my captivating country – whether through my own group tours or one-on-one trip planning. • I can be your sounding board Already have a rough plan for your Japan vacation?
