How it Works – Travel Planning + Interpretation

Step 1: Share your Needs

Once you get in touch with me, I’ll provide a questionnaire designed to gather insights about your travel preferences and the kind of assistance you require. This helps me clearly understand your expectations and create options tailored to your needs.

Step 2: Submit Your Questions

When you return the completed questionnaire, feel free to include any questions, concerns, or specific requests you might have. I’ll address everything during our scheduled consulting session via Teams or Google Meet.

Step 3: Personalized Consulting Session

Now, we’ll jump on a call to map out your perfect travel plan. In this 1-hour session, I’ll go over all the questions you’ve sent me and any new ones that come up as we chat. I’ll come prepared with several travel itinerary suggestions tailored to you, and during this call, we’ll fine-tune them to the nuances of your preferences and priorities.

Step 4: Review Your Travel Plan

I’ll send you a personalized itinerary based on everything we’ve discussed. It’ll include all the details and recommendations you need to move forward. Once you’re happy with the plan and ready to start booking, let me know, and we’ll set up the next step for language support if you need it.

Step 5: Real Time Translation for Arrangements

In this step, we’ll have another call where I’ll provide real-time translation support. I’ll assist you in communicating with accommodations and service providers, ensuring every detail is clear and understood. Whether it’s asking questions, making reservations, or confirming arrangements, I’ll translate both your messages and their responses until your plans are set.

Planning + Real-Time Language Support

With my local knowledge and real-time translation support for bookings, you’ll have easy access to your ideal trip, effortlessly and stress-free.

Access the Inaccessible

In Okinawa’s remote islands, many accommodations, activities, and unique experiences aren’t listed online—or if they are, they’re only in Japanese. These small, family-owned businesses often require direct, person-to-person communication to arrange bookings. Without fluent Japanese or local connections, these options remain out of reach.

With my real-time language support and extensive local network, I bridge this gap for you.

Why you want me to help

  • I am Japanese who has been living in Ishigaki for over 3 years.
  • My knowledge of travel on the remote islands of Yaeyama (the southernmost region of Okinawa) is unmatched. I travel monthly within these islands and maintain strong connections with local residents.
  • I’ve guided over 100 individuals worldwide as an interpreter residing in touristic cities, ensuring smooth and memorable experiences.
  • I have been an international traveler myself over 25 years and have a knack for uncovering deeper, more authentic experiences beyond typical guidebook recommendations.

If you want to be in my in-person tour?

If you are thinking of having someone as your guide throughout your journey in Yaeyama, I can help. This would be for someone who want total immersion into the Yaeyama Islands, but does not have time for planning, and need someone reliable to plan and assist end-to-end.
