Get to know some of our guides
We’re proud to have a diverse team of personable, knowledgeable guides fluent in both English and Japanese, serving travelers across multiple regions of Japan. Here, you’ll get to know just a few of the exceptional people who bring our tours to life.
Kevin
Founder / Owner
We believe it’s important that everyone who works for Pinpoint Traveler is also an active guide—including the owner. Kevin has been living in Japan for thirteen years, though he spent the first ten working in the corporate world. These days, he’s left the office behind to share his love for Japan more directly, connecting with travelers through real experiences and personal insights. Guiding allows him to stay grounded in the culture, history, and everyday life that make Japan so special.
Kensuke
Guide in Hiroshima Region
Based in Hiroshima, Kensuke has a deep appreciation for the city’s unique atmosphere, rich history, and incredible food. He enjoys exploring the roots of Japanese culture and traditions, and through his guiding, he aims to share not only historical facts but also the values and character that define the Japanese people. His goal is to convey perspectives and insights that only a native Japanese person can truly express.
Ferdinand
Guide in Kansai region
A native of France by birth, I have, for the past seven years, made my home in the city of Osaka, having previously resided in Tokyo.
Combining my love for Japan, its rich traditions and culinary delights, and the simple pleasure of walking and meeting new people, I decided to pursue a career where I can have these fervent passions shared with others; because I am deeply in love with the somewhat timeworn charm of Osaka’s post-war industrial visage, and the mysterious and quiet charm of its labyrinthine alleyways.
