Self-introduction

Greetings from Hida! I am Ayaka, a local government-licesed guide who is passionated about sharing the local life and culture with you! I was born in Takayama, lived in PEI, Canada and Sydney, Australia for 3 years in total. Thanks to the exciting stay in both amazing countries, I becamevery much interested in multiculturalism and cross-cultural communicaton enough to pursue my master degree in the field! My ultimate goal for guiding is to make you feel like you are just visiting your friend in Japan and let her guide you her favorite sites of the town. Your excistance in the town gives a heaps of value to the locals!
Here is my favourite quote from Nelson Mandera: If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart. I do hope that I can make a great memory in your heart in my lovely hometown!
