Hi! I'm Rose Mae. Let's Have fun!

🏙️ City Explorer🏯 Cultural Enthusiast🌙 Night Owl🧸 Kid-Friendly Explorer🤸 Flexible & Curious

Hi! Nihon ni yokoso! ✨🇯🇵 Please call me Rose!🥰 I’ve been married to a Japanese National for 19 years, and we have four kids. As the Mom of a Travel-lover family, I've gotten used to making an itinerary for our travel around Japan and overseas. Thus, it has made me well-accustomed to arranging trips that are engaging not only for Kids but also for Parents. 👩‍👩‍👦 I have been guiding tours around the Kanto area, especially Tokyo and Saitama. As a Shogunate lover, I could also take you to places very famous to locals, but not many foreign tourists know about those hidden gems.✨💎 I’d love to take photos to capture the warm smiles and captivating moments everyone wants to treasure in their travels. 📸📸 Let me know how you want your trip to be arranged. Whether you want to explore fancy cafes, famous local restaurants, or Japanese gardens, from museums to temples, experience local festivals while wearing a Yukata, or explore the Sumo capital in Tokyo! 🎎🎑 Join me, and let’s explore beautiful places and share stories about the richness of Japanese culture and history.🇯🇵🇯🇵

The Asakusa tour was absolutely incredible, the walk through the culture, and history was quite enlightening. Both my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed. Much of our satisfaction was because of our amazing tour guide, Rose! She was warm, patient, flexible, and knowledgeable, making every part of the experience feel engaging. Rose took the time to share meaningful insights. Her kindness, and professionalism truly stood out. If it’s your first time, I highly recommend the Asakusa tour with Rose as your tour guid

Rose was the kindest and most gracious tour guide. Very knowledgeable. Her two university aged kids joined us at our request and provided great color on the city. Thank you Rose - we love Tokyo!

Tour did not seem very organized. Walked up and down the same street many times. Most of the places were closed. I booked this tour weeks prior, even messaging tour leader before the tour and never was it mentioned to change the tour timing due to early morning lot of shops being closed. We started at a cafe and spent one hour there, tour leader didn’t seem in a rush to start the tour. Tour leader didn’t cover their own food cost. Unfortunately would not recommend this tour.
