WELCOME TO TOURISTS FOR A GOOD TOWN…

Recently more and more tourists have been coming to not just Shinjuku but also all around Japan to enjoy Japanese culture and history.
Because of that, there are so many in bound services to carry out around Japan. However, especially, regarding of “Night Life” it is on the way to be made.

We work mainly in Shinjuku where there are bunch of restaurants and bars. Unfortunately, it is so hard for tourists to understand charge system and habits. In some cases, it gets into trouble.

We hope that every person all over the world enjoys Japan without any stress by interpreting.

What is Licensed Guide?

We are licensed guides, in another word, national government licensed guide interpreters. Only licensed guides are permitted to receive a reward from tourists. To become a licensed guide, we must pass the exam about Japanese history, culture, geography and economy, politics, foreign language skill, such as English, French, Spanish, German, Chinese, Russian and so on. The total 10 languages. The exam is authorized by Japan tourism agency which is a part of Ministry of a Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. That is why the exam is so hard. Only 9.8% of the examinees are passed(2018 data). We are so professional that we are super familiar with these fields. Meanwhile, we must bring National Guide Certificate while working. If not, we are not able to work. We take pride in this job.

By the way, speaking of diplomats, they work hard for their people. On the other hand, licensed guides are called “Diplomats for people all over the world.” Therefore, we passonitely help tourists overseas to understand Japan so well.
