Hello, and thank you for visiting my website.
My name is Hiromi Nakano, and I am a licensed English guide in Tokyo.

You might be wondering, what does “licensed English guide” mean?
It means that I have passed official exams on English, Japanese history, culture, geography, and safety rules, and have received official permission from the government to guide visitors professionally.

So, why did I decide to become a guide?
The answer is simple: I wanted to share my love for Japan with overseas visitors, guiding them with accurate knowledge.

Also, I love traveling myself, and I wanted to meet many people who share the same passion for travel.
I’ve always loved traveling alone, so since getting married, I haven’t been able to travel in the way that feels most “me.”
Even so, I still catch a train and explore distant towns while my children are at school.

My favorite style of travel is the kind where I blend into a town.
For example, I might rent a bicycle in a foreign city and explore it freely, walk into a local restaurant without any prior research and enjoy the food, or have casual conversations with locals I happen to meet on the same bus.

Of course, travel is a “once-in-a-lifetime experience,” so visiting historical sites is wonderful too.
I would be delighted to meet guests who want to enjoy Tokyo in a casual way, while also gaining a little extra knowledge or using some language skills to experience the city more deeply, depending on the mood at the time.
