I am a local guide based in Itoigawa, Niigata, with a special interest in geology, landscapes, and local stones. I enjoy helping visitors discover the stories behind the land—how the mountains, rivers, coastlines, and unique stones were formed—and explaining them in a simple and enjoyable way. I can guide visitors around Itoigawa in Niigata Prefecture, as well as Asahi, Nyuzen, and Uozu in Toyama Prefecture. My goal is to help visitors experience the nature, culture, and unique character of each area, and discover something they might otherwise miss during their trip.
