I’m Chie, a guide, interpreter, and trainer based in Hokkaido.
I love connecting people with the nature, culture, food, and stories of the places they visit.

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.
