Discover Japan differently
Based in Kanagawa, near Hakone, I help independent travellers discover Japan beyond the usual itineraries, with local knowledge and practical support.
Behind this travel experience lies more than a decade of professional work in French–Japanese interpretation and intercultural communication.
This background continues to shape the way I accompany visitors today.

Professional Background
“Ryo Fujii is far more than an interpreter. He is a genuine guide who understands both his clients’ needs and the perspective of those they meet, helping them navigate Japan with insight, subtlety and professionalism.
After 25 years of journalism in Japan, I can confidently say that Fujii-san is one of the very best.”
