My Japan Discovery

Shogo Yamada/Shawn

Tour Guide & Local Experience Enthusiast

"Travel like a local, Eat like a local"


A student of English and Tourism during my college years, I embarked on a backpacking journey through 28 countries. Interacting with various locals, I gained unique experiences specific to each destination. The highlight of my adventures was trekking to Everest Base Camp at an elevation of 5,500 meters.


Upon returning to Japan, I combined my hobbies of cooking, photography, and travel to initiate tours that provide a holistic experience. My philosophy is to encourage travelers to "Travel like a local, Eat like a local," embracing the authenticity of each destination.


Join me on a journey that goes beyond the typical tourist experience, where every moment is a chance for a genuine connection and a memorable adventure!
