WHAT I DO
GUIDING
Nature, culture, food, and locally rooted experiences in Hokkaido.
I especially enjoy helping guests discover not only what they see, but also why it matters.
INTERPRETATION & TOUR FACILITATION
I help connect international guests with local people, communities, and experiences through interpretation, clear communication, and cultural context.
TRAINING
I provide training for guides and tourism professionals in:
- Guide communication
- Hospitality
- Practical English
- Interpretation and storytelling
WHAT I LOVE
Forests, hiking, ramen, hot springs — and discovering great local food.
I believe food is one of the best ways to understand a place, its people, and its culture.
