Kansai Guide
Let's get to know each other!
I graduated from the Faculty of Business Administration, International Relations, in 2004, in Iasi. I immediately decided to follow a new path and came to Japan to study Japanese. From the very first days, Japan impressed me with its unique musicality: a special vibe that comes from the noise of the cities and the deep silence of Buddhist temples, from the grandeur of the metropolis and the quiet simplicity of traditional villages.
Life took me to this wonderful country where, together with my husband, I developed a family business, a chain of beef shops. This gave me direct interaction with the people and allowed me to adapt quickly to Japanese culture, understanding not only the language but also the subtleties of the local dialects.
The Kansai area, where I now live and work, is a land of contrasts and joy. Here, the historic past and vibrant modernity, the tranquility of Kyoto’s shrines and the hustle and bustle of Osaka’s bustling life, are intertwined. As your guide, I set out to reveal to you the unique charm of Kansai – an area full of hospitality, color and unforgettable flavors.
I believe a successful trip is more than just sightseeing. It’s about understanding the culture, feeling the pulse and interacting with the people. That’s why I am looking forward to welcoming you to the Kansai region to discover together with you a vibrant Japan, full of life and stories, where every corner of this region will surprise you and will remain in your heart.
