I am a freelance interpreter and also a tour guide. I used to work at LED lights maker and translated some documents and also interpreted for colleagues from overseas at global meetings. Since I was certified as Kyoto Visitors Host (KVH) by Kyoto city, I started working as a tour guide such as Hotel’s walking tour, Nishiki market and Gion walking tour etc.
I have been to New Zealand and England to study English before and traveled around Europe, Asia and some other countries. While I was travelling I met a lot of nice people from different countries with various cultures. So I am good at communicating with people.
With all of my experiences as an interpreter and a tour guide, I would like to be a bridge between Japan and your countries! I always try to be a better guide with warm hospitality who can show you how unique and wonderful our tradition and culture are. I am looking forward to meeting you here in Kyoto!
