Bonjour, I’m Nicolas.
Originally from France, I have lived in Japan for more than 26 years.
Japan is my home. I built my life and raised my family here, while spending decades exploring its history, traditions, landscapes and food culture.
My aim is not simply to take you from one attraction to another. I want to help you understand what you see, feel comfortable asking questions and enjoy a day that genuinely suits you.
