Guiding a group of 14 guests to a live SUMO TOURNAMENT!
Guests from various countries were absolutely fascinated by the world of sumo, and they were amazed by the power and intensity of seeing it live.
I brought handmade uchiwa fans and towels with the names of popular rikishi, so everyone could cheer for rikishi!
We shouted and cheered together — I gave it my all and totally burned out (in the best way)! 💪🔥

🌟 Guest Review: Nagoya Half-day Tour 🌟
“We visited Nagoya with Maki Takagi. She was excellent and showed us around Nagoya Castle and the TV tower. She helped us find some specific gifts and some sea sickness medicine. She was very nice and helpful. She had a PowerPoint presentation to teach us about Nagoya. Would highly recommend taking a tour with her. This tour was well worth it.”

📝 This guest joined my custom half-day tour in Nagoya. I was happy to help them find what they needed and share some stories and history using my original PowerPoint. I’m so grateful for their kind words!

🗣A Warm Friendship from the U.S.
From the very beginning, she was incredibly friendly and easy to talk to.
She made me feel so comfortable, and I truly appreciated how they listened with such genuine interest.
Her English was easy to understand, and I’m just so grateful for the chance to meet her.
Our conversation really flowed, and before I knew it, she kindly offered to treat me to lunch — we ended up enjoying miso katsu together at Yabaton.
After that, we exchanged WhatsApp contacts, and we’ve been keeping in touch ever since.
We still share photos of cherry blossoms and kind messages — she always send back the sweetest replies.

🗣Lively Encounters with an American Couple
An energetic and fun-loving couple from the U.S., traveling on a cruise that started in Korea and will continue all the way to Okinawa.
They were both incredibly friendly and full of energy — we laughed together the entire time!
It was such a joyful experience, and I’m so glad I had the chance to meet them.

🗣A wonderful family of five from Singapore 🇸🇬
It was the parents and their son with his wife — such a lovely group!
The father was incredibly knowledgeable about Japan — he even knew about the Three Great Heroes of Japanese history! I couldn’t help but think, “Who is this amazing person?” So much respect!
I’m always grateful when guests show a deep interest in Japanese culture.
They had such a warm family atmosphere, and it was truly a fun and memorable time.
