Welcome to Japan!

I came to Japan in 2006, traveled a lot and studied a lot, so I can take any tour of the Kansai region and tell interesting facts about Japan and the Japanese.

Before coming to Japan, I was teaching English and translating. My hobbies were mountaineering and climbing, for several years I worked as a guide in the mountains of the Caucasus.

In Japan, after graduating from 6 years at Osaka University, I almost completely devoted myself to sports: I worked as an instructor in a climbing hall, participated in the National Sports Festival as part of the Osaka Prefecture team, volunteered at the Tokyo Olympic Games in 2021.

I often travel to Japan, have been to many prefectures from Hokkaido to Okinawa, and of course, climbed Fuji.

Now I live in Osaka Prefecture, conducting excursions here, as well as in Kyoto, Himeji and Nara.

Kyoto, Osaka, Nara, Himeji.

Kyoto is the ancient capital of Japan, now the center of tourism. Here you can not only get acquainted with the rich culture and history of the country, but also completely immerse yourself in the atmosphere of medieval Japan. Try on the kimono and walk in it through the narrow streets with ancient houses, watch the performance of the geisha students - maiko-san, participate in the tea ceremony and visit a real Buddhist meditation in the temple.

Himeji is a city known for its majestic Himeji Castle, which is one of the best preserved castles in Japan. Around the castle are gardens, which are especially beautiful in the spring when cherry blossoms. A walk around the castle and its surroundings will allow you to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of feudal Japan and learn more about the life of samurai.

Nara is a spacious and charming city that, like Kyoto, has many cultural and historical attractions. But even here, reindeer freely roam the streets, begging for food from tourists and happily posing for the camera. If you have children in the group, Nara is a must-see destination that will make your trip to Japan unforgettable.

Osaka is an important economic center of Japan. The city, always developed thanks to trade, is rich in places where you can see modern Japan.

Just like in Tokyo, people from different regions of Japan come to Osaka, but if in Tokyo they adapt to the standards of the metropolis, then in Osaka to a greater extent retain their identity.

Here we speak our own dialect, Osaka Ben, and most people in the region believe that this is the standard Japanese language.

Here you will find food from the cuisine of any region of Japan, but the most delicious dish Osaka residents consider still local "takoyaks".

Here you can walk along wide avenues with luxury shops, but turning to the side, unexpectedly find yourself in an area with traditional drinking establishments "izakaya", wooden private houses and sheltered between them Shinto shrines.

In Osaka you can find entertainment for every taste: Buddhist temples and historical museums, theme parks for children and adults, exhibitions and concerts, shopping and river walks.

In addition to tours, I offer the following services:

• Accompanying at Universal Studios Japan
• Shopping in shopping malls and antiques markets
