Hi, I’m Ono, the founder of Japan Trails, and the creator of a YouTube channel called Ono in Japan, where I share travel tips and cultural insights for visitors to Japan.
I started this tour service with a simple idea in mind: to help travelers see Japan through the eyes of a local friend, not just as tourists.
After living in Japan for many years and showing visiting friends around the hidden spots of Tokyo, I realized how much more fun and meaningful a trip becomes when someone local shows you around.
Through my YouTube channel, I introduce places and tips online. And through my custom tours, I offer the real-life version of that experience.
Whether it’s your first time in Japan or you’ve been here before, I want you to feel at home, curious, and connected.
