Japan Greeters welcome you

Japan Greeters are volunteers who are passionate about sharing their love for their city with visitors from around the world. A Greeter will welcome you and take you on a 2-4 hours walk in the city free-of-charge, showing you places, neighborhoods, and off-the-beaten-track spots. You will see the city through the eyes of a local while hearing personal stories, anecdotes, cultural aspects, and experience the city in its authenticity. Read more …

Kagawa

KAGAWA is the smallest prefecture in Japan, but in here are beautiful nature landscapes, many historical places and good foods.
Each Udon restaurant – it’s said that we have 700 in our town – has unique and original culture that has been made with their customers.
So the way of Udon serving, side menus you could choose and atmospheres you feel.
So why not come and walk with us around the Ritsurin Garden or discover the small Udon restaurant of our city and countryside?

Kyoto

Kyoto is Japan’s old capital, where is still now the cultural center of Japan. We have 17 world heritages and much more beautiful traditional places. If you would like to feel traditional atmosphere, cultures and customs, Kyoto is the best choice of visit without any doubt.
Kyoto Greeters will spend several hours with you following your plan as a ‘local friend’ in Kyoto to let you know more of our city, local cultures and customs.

Tokyo

Why don’t you walk through Tokyo with us? Along the way, you will pass through beautifully ‎landscaped gardens, ancient temples and shrines, bustling shopping arcades, crowded business ‎districts, and quiet residential streets. You will be surrounded by traditional architecture and tall ‎gleaming skyscrapers of glass and steel. Thousands of restaurants beckon with neon signs and paper ‎lanterns. Smiles are everywhere, excitement is in the air and a surprise waits around every corner.‎
