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 Kyotoโ€™s Tourism Information Center. There I developed a passion for helping travelers truly immerse in Japanese culture, from booking stays at Kyotoโ€™s beautiful โ€˜machiyaโ€™ traditional homes to encouraging them to seek out the cityโ€™s hidden gems. Iโ€™ve also worked as a customer service representative for ANA โ€“ Japanโ€™s largest airline โ€“ 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 โ€“ whether through my own group tours or one-on-one trip planning. โ€ข I can be your sounding board Already have a rough plan for your Japan vacation? Great โ€“ Iโ€™m happy to review it with you, provide feedback and offer suggestions to make sure you have an amazing time while youโ€™re here. โ€ข I can create a personalized plan for you Feeling a little overwhelmed or unsure of where to go? Letโ€™s jump on a call so I can get to know you and start putting together the ideal itinerary based on your preferences and travelling style. I then use custom software to present your personalized itinerary as a beautiful guide. โ€ข I can be your Japanese-speaking virtual concierge Break through the language barrier by engaging me as a native Japanese speaker to call hotels, restaurants and tourism operators. I can also seek out and book niche experiences based on your tastes and interests. Through my roles at Airbnb Japan and ANA, Iโ€™m well versed in collaborative tools such as Trello, Slack and Google Workspace, as well as video conferencing platforms like Skype and Zoom, so rest assured Iโ€™ll provide an efficient, professional travel planning service. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Thank you!
