Ikki Ocampo

Hi, I’m Ikki. I work primarily as a private concierge, consultant, interpreter/translator, and negotiator — and I also serve as a premium tour guide for high-profile CEOs, diplomats, dignitaries, and celebrities.

I’m not a typical guide. I consider myself an extraordinary one — blending cultural insight, creativity, and personalized service into every journey. I offer unique, private experiences tailored for travelers who seek more than just sightseeing.

When I’m not working with embassies, agencies, or private clients as a guide, I operate independently as a photographer, stylist, and creative curator. I can document your stay in Japan with professional photo and video coverage, creating lasting memories of your trip.

My main passion lies in curating Japanese arts, antiques, and fashion. I run an online platform blending traditional craftsmanship with premium vintage and streetwear fashion. While COVID-19 impacted that business significantly, it also gave me the opportunity to focus more on sharing my knowledge and personal connection with Japan through bespoke guided experiences.

I work closely with museum curators, art collectors, auction houses, fashion designers, and interior specialists from around the world. Guiding, for me, is about intellectual connection and storytelling — not just ticking off destinations.

Think of me as your fixer and creative companion, offering an out-of-the-box approach. We can hike through remote mountains, road-trip along scenic coastlines, or explore Japan’s countryside in style. Or we can ride on Japan’s romantic classic trains and uncover hidden gems far from the tourist crowds.

I’ve been living in Japan for many years and love witty, insightful conversation mixed with humor and cultural knowledge. If you value time, style, and substance in your travels, I’d love to be part of your Japan story.
