I began my career as a tour guide for cruise ship passengers while I was still a university student, and for over 15 years I have guided international visitors in Nagasaki.
Drawing on my experience in this historically rich and internationally influenced port city, I currently work as a freelance licensed guide interpreter.
Rather than simply explaining sightseeing spots, I aim to share the stories of the people and the history behind each place, creating meaningful and memorable experiences for my guests.
I always prioritize safety and time management, while fostering a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout the tour.

■Personality & Hobbies
I enjoy traveling and exploring local cuisine, both in Japan and abroad.
I am friendly and approachable, and I naturally connect with people from different backgrounds. I value communication with my guests and strive to create a warm and engaging tour experience.

■Message
Nagasaki is a special city shaped by centuries of cultural exchange.
I would be honored to share not only the sights, but also the stories and human experiences behind them.
I sincerely look forward to welcoming you to Nagasaki.
