I am translator (Japanese-English)
Hi, My name is Yutaro, I was born and raised in Japan. I have worked as a Japanese-English translator for about two and a half years and as a business translator (mainly from English to Japanese) for about one and a half years. I have experience as a volunteer tour guide in Tokyo. I mainly guided Shibuya, Omote-Sando, Harajuku, Takeshita Street, and Meiji-Jingu areas for exchange students from all over the world. I can't wait to introduce you to everything that Fukuoka has to offer.

Wonderful experience with Yu! Excellent communication skills and English as well. Great info on the fly for what interested ME! And restaurant recommendations… Yu even called one of the places I wanted to dine at for dinner and arranged a reservation (which I could not do without speaking Japanese). So awesome!
