I am interested in Japanese history and historical structures (such as temples and shrines), geography and Japanese culture. Also, I am able to teach some basics of Japanese tea ceremony to foreign people who are interested in the Japanese tea culture.

(Guide accomplishments)
I have volunteered to interpret and guide many foreign people in Kagawa. The main places I took them to are: Ritsurin Garden, Konpira Shrine, Marugame Castle, Temples (such as Yashima-ji, Zentsu-ji, Umpen-ji etc), the Chichibugahama Beach, Mt. Shiude, Naoshima Island, Shodoshima Island, history and art museums.

Self-PR (details)
I was born and brought up in Kagawa Prefecture, Japan. I taught English at high schools for many years, and also I have been actively involved in the international exchange activities. In order to help foreign people I met to appreciate my country and my culture, I have volunteered to show them around sightseeing places in Kagawa, explaining Japanese history, culture and customs. I have truly enjoyed the interactions with them.

I am interested in nature and the cultural aspects such as history, art and traditional cultures. In particular, the Japanese tea culture is fascinating, so I’ll be happy to teach some basics of Japanese tea ceremony to foreigners who’d like to appreciate it. Besides explaining historical and cultural backgrounds of the places they visit, I’d like to share with them anecdotes or information only local people know.

I belong to Kagawa SGG (Kagawa Systematized Goodwill Guide) to improve my guiding skills.

I look forward to meeting people who’d like to appreciate Japan and Japanese culture and to enjoy local hospitality and food as well as sightseeing with me.
