Mitsumi

Shinsaibashi, Yodoyabashi, Nihonbashi, Tenmabashi, Kyobashi—

Osaka is a city of bridges. For centuries, they have connected not only places, but also people, communities, and cultures.

I hope to be a bridge too—connecting Japan with the world through my work as a guide and interpreter.

Izumisano, home to Kansai International Airport, is a gateway to Japan where visitors can discover fishing ports, local markets, shrines, mountains, the sea, and the traditions of everyday life.

I have introduced international guests to a wide range of Japanese cultural experiences, from fishing and shrine rituals to iaido, sumo, and Japanese cuisine.

With my background in English education, I enjoy sharing Japan through warm, engaging conversation.

Just as Osaka’s bridges connect the city, I hope to connect people, cultures, Japan, and the world.

I look forward to welcoming you to Izumisano.
