OBA-SHIZUOKA will send a certified interpreter tour guide, for foreign visitors.

Concept of work

Principle of our tour-guide and/or business-guide services is, that we will utmost welcome foreign visitors to 
Japan  and assist them, who are either tourists or business persons, in spending days having impressive experience, during their stay here in Japan.

Greeting, from Hitoshi Yamashita

Japan is widely-known as an unique country that has no rivals in terms of the length of history of its imperial family whose blood lineage has been continuing for over 2,660 years since [B.C.]660 when the first Emperor "Jinmu" was enthroned. The present Emperor "AKIHITO" is the 125th generation.  I would like foreign visitors to see, hear, feel and know better and more about Japan on its various aspects, including such as history - traditional culture - POP culture - customs - scenic spots - Japanese daily lives - amusements - society - industry - and, cool Japan !
I really hope that every foreign visitor will be given many opportunities to come across a lot of new findings and surprises about Japan and Japanese people during his or her visit, and that he or she will eventually become a big fan of Japan.
