Leisure, Travel & Tourism - Tokyo, , Japan
Offering private custom walking tours to Tokyo, Kamakura, Nikko, Hakone, Kyoto, Nara, Nakasendo, Kiso-ji or anywhere! In my nearly forty plus years in Japan I have witnessed first-hand Japan's rapid economic development and its real estate and stock market bubble that burst in the late 80s bringing everything to a rapid halt. My experience includes twenty years as a salaryman in a Japanese company and a teacher of Japanese Social Studies at Nishimachi International School. Now focused on Japan, her history, culture, and society, I provide insightful and meaningful tours that create a vivid experience for visitors. Besides providing tours in the Kanto area that I am happy to customise, I introduce people to other locations in Japan like Hakone, Nikko, Kamakura, Kyoto, and the ancient Nakasendo and Kiso-ji roads that linked Edo - today's Tokyo - to Kyoto for over 265 years of the Edo period. I practice Nihon Buyo, traditional Japanese dance that has its origins in Kabuki, as well as ikebana. My stage appearances have been featured on Japanese TV and in Japanese newspapers.
