About Mediator
Hello, My name is Etsuko Sakai (just call me Eko). I live in Nara and have worked as an official licensed guide (in English) for over 20 years. I like this job so much feeling it’s my calling. I’d like to take you to deeper Japan (especially in Nara and Kansai region) and let you know the history, culture, religion and spirits of Japan. I like hiking, running (such as marathons), travelling and singing♪ I will show you around basically on foot using very efficient public transportations. Depending on your interests, walking capability and time you have, I’m willing to arrange and customize my tour to your requests. Let’s explore deeper Japan and make wonderful memories together.
