Hi! I’m a bilingual Japanese tour guide who grew up between Japan and the US. I’m a self-published manga artist, a devoted train and transportation geek, and I’m raising funds to study as a certified Shinto priest. I practice Noh, love hidden shrines, old neighborhoods, tasty street snacks, and showing travelers the life I went through.

Kotaro-san was a wonderful and very knowledgeable guide! Explaining many différent thing like the story behind the architecture, the trains and history behind the stations! Which was WAY more interesting than I thought it would have been. If you're a big fan of history and architecture I would reccomend Kotaro as your guide !! Thank you again for the very pleasant tour !!!
