Guide's Recommended Points

We will optimize your visit to suit the day's circumstances and your preferences, guiding you in an order that allows for efficient sake tasting. We will explain the differences between Daiginjo and Junmai sake in an easy-to-understand way, allowing you to experience them through aroma and taste. We will also explore the reasons why Nada became a sake-producing region (topography, water, and port), along with the town's scenery. We will guide you through the museum exhibits, focusing on the key points to deepen your understanding. We will suggest souvenirs based on their purpose (for personal use or as gifts) and help you read the labels. We can adjust the pace of tasting to suit your needs, and we can also accommodate those who do not drink, focusing on sightseeing.

Self-Introduction

Hi there!

My name is Tetsuya KAWABATA, a government certified interpreter and guide.

I was born and raised in Shiga Prefecture, 8 miles or 14 km east of Kyoto. I spent seven years of high school and college in Kyoto, Japan. I worked for a company in Osaka for over 30 years before becoming an interpreter-guide.

Additionally, I am well versed in the history and local information of Kobe, Nara, and Wakayama.

The Kansai region, especially Kyoto, Nara, and Shiga, is the motherland of Japanese history; it has always been the center stage of Japanese history for over 2600 years.

In addition, I can take you on tours that not only introduce you to Japan's ancient and traditional cultural treasures and wonderful experiences, but also give you a glimpse into the future.

For the foodies among you, we offer plenty of choices, from the most exquisite gastronomic restaurants to casual eateries beloved by the locals.

Come join me for a great trip!
