TOUR GUIDE: Takahisa Hosoya (TAKA)

Hello. I am a Japanese local tour guide for Fuji Five Lakes area and I have lived in Fuji-Kawaguchiko since 2010.
I have lived many places such as city, countryside, and abroad in my life and shared their good things in the past.

Especially, my town, Fuji Five Lakes area has a lot of unique characters, and I would like tourists from other countries to have deeply understand and enjoy the time here.
I love sharing knowledge about anything, it would be great trip going around with its background than giving only a passing glance at things. 

​

It's pretty obvious, but the guide who lives in the local knows more like small new things, seasonal features, and daily conditions, than others such as guide from Tokyo.

Just think of me as a friend who can give you all the tips needed for Japan or just show you a good time!
