****New tea experience from June 2024
For an additional fee of 4500 yen per person, you may add an hour-long "Tea Ceremony Experience" to any of my tours in Kyoto. I recently made an arrangement with a lovely tea house to provide custom experiences IN ENGLISH for my guests! These providers teach you everything you ever wanted to know about how green tea is grown, ground, brewed, and enjoyed. You get to try it all yourself!
However, this tea house is so popular I must call to verify the day and time with them in advance... Once I've locked in your time, I'll send a Custom Tour, that being your original tour choice plus the tea experience fee and time. ****
My unique, small-group walking tours of Kyoto, Kobe, and Osaka, Japan reflect my own quirky personality. An entertainer and teacher, I'm a bit of a showman during my tours, and I will talk a bit about myself and my background. I enjoy meeting people from all places and of all races.
I support Ukraine. LGBTQ+ friendly!
While not superstitious, I am fascinated by monster, ghost, magic, and horror stories. I am drawn to the Japanese versions of these tales, as Japan gives unique twists to their history and superstition. Many tours include tidbits about these fascinating cultural nuances.
These walking tours provide a focused and PERSONALIZED experience for my clients. My typical tour will try to introduce you to lesser-known sites, unknown secrets, cultural curiosities, and local Japanese foods, while showcasing the most unique features of an area. There may be a significant amount of walking, but rest assured that the walking pace and frequency of rests will be tailored to your needs. Everyone has different physical abilities and preferences, and I strive to keep the experience comfortable and enjoyable for all.

Kobe has been my hometown since 2007, and I have explored Kyoto and Osaka countless times. Each city boasts unique architecture, music, cuisine, and attractions well worth exploring. Whether strolling bustling city streets or venturing well off the beaten path, you'll have opportunities to experience new and exciting destinations within my adopted home, as I share my discoveries with you!
I've never been a specialist. But I've been a barista, a scuba diver, bookstore manager, a Federal officer, a forklift driver and many more. (Coming to Japan in 2006, I added part-time university/corporate English teacher.) A certified therapeutic hypnotist since 2000, in 2014 I began comedy hypnosis shows for corporations and on cruise ships. I've entertained audiences as large as 6,000 people, with up to 40 volunteers on stage at once. I do online hypnotherapy, as well.
Specialization—me? Here on Tours By Locals, I 'specialize' in providing local walking tours that are enjoyable and educational. While happy to offer recommendations and suggestions, I'm really not a multi-day tour planner. My primary focus is creating memorable moments through unique and immersive one-day tours of my own design.
Exploring historical areas, I offer my personal perspective. Rather than reciting history (best left to licensed tour guides), I provide a more personalized and engaging experience.
