Introduction

Thank you for visiting Beauty and wonders of everyday Japan.

I’m Eiko, the administrator of this page, and I’m a National government Licensed English  guide interpreter.

When you go on a trip, how do you decide where to go?

And where do you get information about the area?

Is it photos and videos of beautiful scenery and delicious looking food posted on social networking sites?

Or is it the rankings in travel magazines or online search sites?

 

Japan is a beautiful country with abundant nature, and full of excitement.

On this site, we introduce a variety of information about Japan from the perspective of a guide.

We hope you will use this site to plan your trip and as a source of information for your daily life.

 

And we look forward to seeing you in person soon!

1,Must see spot

Here, you will find information on popular tourist attractions that you should not miss when visiting Japan. To make an itinerary for the day, choose two or three places here and outline them first!

Famous tourist spots can be crowded. We will also give you tips on how to plan your itinerary well and the highlights of the spots.

2,Unique spot

Japan is full of interesting things such as anime, games, manga, creative cafes, ninjas, robots, and projection mapping.

In addition, Japan’s railroad system, including the Shinkansen bullet train, the metropolitan expressway network, and the truly convenient convenience stores are also unique to the country’s culture.

Here, I would like to introduce some information about these unique aspects of Japan.

3, Seasonal special

Japan has four distinct seasons. There is also a rainy season between spring and summer.

In each season, different flowers bloom and people’s activities change around nature. Here, we will provide you with information about the four beautiful seasons in Japan.

4, Food

It is no exaggeration to say that “Washoku”, the traditional Japanese food is what has sustained Japan’s longevity.

In 2013, “Washoku” became an intangible cultural heritage of UNESCO.

In this section, we provide you with information about Japanese food culture and the food we encountered on the streets.

5, Traditional culture ・ art

Our tours often include a matcha tea ceremony or a visit to a museum. It is said that the more you know about the historical background of the art, the more you can enjoy it.

7, National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter ・ Learning English

For those of you who have started studying to become an interpreter guide, your dream has already half come true. Please continue your studies. However, from my own experience, I was still worried about studying on my own.

I am not sure if this will give you any hints, and I can only speak from my own experience, but if you would like to know more, please read this article.

 

 

Thoughts of a guide ・ Thoughts on this site

There are many different types of clients that we encounter in our work, including couples, families, singles, and cruise ship passengers.

The relationship between the guide and the client also varies from a few hours to a long-term case from the beginning to the end of their trip.

But one thing they all have in common is that they are very much looking forward to visiting Japan.

So, we do our best to bring as many smiles as possible to their faces. However, there are some things that are beyond our control, such as the weather, the flowering time, and when the facilities are closed.

“Today’s Mt. Fuji was very shy. I hope you can see it from the bullet train window for Kyoto tomorrow. ”  We sometimes have to say goodbye to our customers and see them off.

That is why this site is designed to bring you the best of Japan, the kind of Japan that you would normally encounter in your daily life if you lived in Japan. In some ways, it is not a special view, but in some ways, it is!

“I wish I could have shown it to you then, but I couldn’t.”

“I wish I could have shared the excitement with you then.”

With this in my mind, I would like to provide you with information about Japan that is full of beauty and wonders in everyday life.
