8-The Power of Private Moments

As I guided more and more food tours, something clicked.

My guests didn’t want just information. They wanted intimacy.They wanted a guide who could listen, adjust to their pace, and shape the day around their dreams—especially couples marking milestones like honeymoons or proposals.

So I became that guide.

I did everything I could to honor their wishes. Track down special dishes. Time perfect sunset spots. Create moments they’d never forget.

And then, the reviews started pouring in.

One by one, kind words and 5-star ratings became my new currency.

For the first time, I wasn’t just working. I was contributing. Creating joy. Delivering something worth remembering

That was the moment I realized:I no longer needed a desk to belong somewhere.

I had found my place—right there, walking the streets of Tokyo with people from around the world.
