The Key to Perfect Scores: The Wonderful Personality and Extensive Knowledge of Our Guides


The third reason why our traditional cultural experience tours receive such high ratings is due to "The Wonderful Personality and Extensive Knowledge of Our Guides."


The charm of our English-speaking guides is undoubtedly a major factor in captivating travelers. Even if the instruction provided by our "authentic" artisans and the charm of the Kagurazaka were excellent, we wouldn’t receive perfect scores if our guides left a bad impression.


When hiring our guides, I placed the highest emphasis on their personality. I knew that since guides directly interact with travelers, they would be critically judged based on their personality. After all, no one wants to spend time with a guide they don’t like. A bad guide can ruin even the most wonderful cultural experience.

Why Only 4 Out of 90 Applicants Became Our Guides: A Rigorous Hiring Process


Moreover, the hiring process was thorough. It included submitting a resume, a one-hour aptitude test, a two-hour interview, a test on traditional culture, and a practical test of guiding around Kagurazaka. Only those who passed all these steps were hired. Of course, native-level English proficiency was a basic requirement.


Even individuals holding the national qualification of "Certified Guide-Interpreter" applied for our guide positions, but many of them did not pass. They simply did not meet the high standards we expect. Out of approximately 90 applicants, only four guides were hired. This shows just how selective we were in choosing our current guides.

25 Years of Local Knowledge: How Our Guides Deliver the Essence of Kagurazaka


In addition to their great personalities, I believe the high level of expertise our guides possess also contributes to the positive feedback from travelers. Our guides focus exclusively on Kagurazaka, providing in-depth tours of the area through walking tours and Izakaya hopping tours. This specialization has made all our guides experts in Kagurazaka.


Instead of offering a broad but shallow tour, we provide deep insights into the neighborhood, enhancing the satisfaction of our travelers. Additionally, I’ve lived in Kagurazaka for 25 years, so I pass on a wealth of local knowledge to our guides, allowing them to convey the essence of Kagurazaka to travelers.

Expertise and Personality: Why Our Guides Excel in Every Way


Furthermore, our guides are only those who have scored perfectly on the knowledge tests related to the traditional cultural experiences we offer. We have a strict policy that guides cannot start until they achieve a perfect score.


As a result, our guides are not only wonderful people but also possess high-level expertise, both geographically and culturally, allowing them to answer various questions from travelers. This is why we receive feedback from travelers saying things like, "This guide tour was so informative, I feel like I truly understood the Real Japan in just these two hours."
