Day 1: June 17, 2024
Hello everyone,
This is Taku, the Tour Director for your Japan tour 2024.
I hope that all participants in this tour are doing great.
I've been a nationally-licensed guide since 2017. I'd been working as a salesman for long before becoming a guide and my business background makes myself a bit different from other tour guides. I graduated from Oklahoma State University in 1995 with a bachelor's degree in Political Science after graduating from a Japanese high school in Osaka. I love various sports such as baseball, American football, soccer, track and field and martial arts. Also, I love various genres of music ranging from classical music to heavy metal. I play guitar and bass gutar.
I guided six groups of American high school student last year and had an amazing time with each one. So I believe I know how to have fun with all of you.
Japan is such a nice country : very safe, clean, organized, kind people and great food. But one thing I'd like you to keep in mind is that June is the rainy season in Japan and so humid and fairly hot in addition to the global warming, so please avoid dehydration. Other than that, I believe all of you will have a wonderful experience in Japan.
I'm looking forward to being a part of your amazing Japan tour!
Best regards,
Taku
