Hello! I'm Naoto Kaiba, your Toyama licensed guide, and I'm passionate about helping travelers discover the true essence of Japan. Having worked in tourism in Australia and explored the globe as a backpacker, I've gained a unique insight into what international visitors truly seek. My goal is to help you delve deeper into Toyama's authentic culture, revealing the pristine Japan that often remains a hidden gem. From history, architecture, and traditional arts to vibrant festivals, diverse food culture, and breathtaking nature, my interests are broad. Imagine discovering a hidden restaurant nestled in the mountains near a serene temple – those are the kinds of authentic experiences I love to share. If you're a nature enthusiast, I can also lead you on invigorating hikes or serene fishing trips through Toyama's stunning landscapes.
