Introduction
Hello and welcome! I’m Manabu, a dedicated guide passionate about sharing the wonders of Japan with the world. Through this blog, my co-writer and I aim to provide valuable insights, practical tips, and unique perspectives to help travelers make the most of their time in Japan.
About Me
I am a full-time tour guide with a lifelong passion for sharing the beauty and culture of Japan. Over the past 30 years, I’ve lived in Kanazawa, Kyoto, and Tokyo—three of Japan’s most iconic and historically rich cities. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of Japan’s regional diversity, traditions, and modern culture.
After a successful career in IT, I decided to follow my passion and became a full-time tour guide. My goal is to provide visitors with unique, memorable, and authentic experiences. From the traditional crafts of Kanazawa, to the timeless elegance of Kyoto, and the vibrant energy of Tokyo, I aim to help you explore Japan in a way that truly resonates.
