I used to be a guide in aitaiJapan from 2005 to 2006. I guided the following tourists from Australia, Brunei, England, Germany, Italy, Korea, South Africa, and the U.S.A. Since I transferred to a company outside of Japan in 2006, I stopped my guide activity. It’s my pleasure to be a guide again! I got professional travel industry experience. Firstly, I have a bilingual navigator experience for 6 month at Safeco Field in Seattle, U.S.A. I take around the field both American and Japanese tourist in 2001. After that, I worked for travel agency in both Saipan(U.S.A.) and Japan. I work as a tour desk like a concierge in Saipan for two years. Then I worked for a travel agency as sales and operation for overseas travel from Japan.
