Tour guide in Kyoto Joji T.

As a guide, my field of expertise is Japanese history and culture. The eras I most like discussing are the war period and the ancient period. My hobbies are, sport wise, to jog & swim myself, and to watch games of sumo, baseball & American football. I also like to play piano, guitar & violin and to travel to old ruins. We could absolutely talk about any of these topics while walking on a tour. You may find interesting that my own name Bonjoji, came from a lot of people's (including me) favourite 80's Rock group, BonJovi. Having lived in the USA for 20 years (6 years for school and 14 years for a job), I can not only speak English but can also have cross-culture exchanges and discussions. Also, since I have worked at a Japanese precision equipment company, I can also talk about international business, only if you're interested! Anyway, my goal is simply to make your trip more enjoyable and comfortable. Please feel free to ask me how I can help you. 1. English National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter: 2019 2.
