What is an Avatar Guide?
“Avatar” is a word that describes an alter ego or a substitute, and that is exactly what Caede is as a tour guide character. She will be your exclusive multi-lingual private guide who takes the place of a human interpreter-guide.
- Caede, the Avatar Guide, will guide you around famous tourist spots in an easy-to-understand manner while also sharing complementing videos and photos to enhance your experience.
- Caede combines the knowledge of interpreter guides and history buffs from all over Japan, so she can guide you through a wide range of topics that are often not covered in guidebooks, including in-depth stories about the spots themselves and Japanese culture and customs, local specialties, and recommended souvenirs!
- Since it is not a group tour, you can listen to the explanations of your personal guide whenever is convenient for you (and your travel companions)


Of course, there is nothing wrong with traveling while looking up information in a guidebook or on Google, but sometimes you want to hear more detailed explanations and special information that only an experienced guide would know. It can also take away from your experience of a place if you keep having to look things up
Having the complete freedom to plan your visits as you like and look around the sights at your own pace as you listen to interesting background stories about the places you visit, you might like your experience of the spot even more.
Caede, our Avatar Guide, will be your exclusive private guide. You can listen to her in your preferred language as you learn more about Japanese history and culture.
Caede will make your trip to Japan a lot more fun and interesting!
What it means to travel with an Avatar Guide
Independent travel is good, but sometimes you want to know more about what is going on around you. If you travel with Caede, our multilingual Avatar Guide, you can listen to explanations in your language of choice and hear interesting stories that are not found in guidebooks. With a regular guided tour, you have to pay attention to the tour’s schedule and follow the group even if you’d actually like to move on or stay a bit longer, but with an Avatar Guide you can conveniently listen to the same kind of stories as what you’d hear during a guided tour whenever you want.
Our staff independently filmed each tourist attraction throughout Japan. We created videos and wrote our own scenarios to perfectly fit Caede’s explanations. What would normally be difficult to explain is made easy with the use of videos!
As a travel agent in Japan, we recommend “sustainable travel” that takes into account the environment, culture, and the lives of the people who live in your destination while enjoying your trip. Tourism issues such as overtourism and garbage problems are increasing in many tourist destinations around the world such as Venice and Kyoto.
Overcrowded tourist destinations are stressful for both the travelers and the people who live in the area, decreasing the enjoyment of the trip and robbing the host community of its hospitality mindset. We hope that “travel” will be a place of gentle exchange for both visitors and those who live there, and that it will shape mutual understanding, respect, and peace.


More Off-Peak Hours Tourism!
Why not travel with an Avatar Guide in the morning or evening, when there are much fewer tourists around? Instead of taking a day trip to a region outside the big cities, why not stay there overnight and take a leisurely walk in the relative quiet of the morning and evening, when most of the tourists have gone home?
Surely, you will discover something new on these quiet walks. We particularly recommend Nikko, Kamakura, Nara, and Miyajima for an overnight trip. Let’s wake up a little earlier and take a walk!
We want to keep the environment and presence of popular tourist destinations intact for future generations and visitors, also 50 or 100 years from now. Traveling during off-peak hours and seasons helps you have an environmentally-friendly and sustainable trip.
