What Drives Us
Who We Are?
Hi, I’m Ken!
Founder of Discover Beyond Japan.
I’ve lived in Osaka for over 10 years, and I love food adventures, the outdoors, fishing, and camping. I also spent 4 years living in Germany and have traveled to about 30 countries, mostly in Europe and North America.
That global experience inspired me to launch a Japan tour guide service that helps visitors connect deeply with local culture and nature.
Our Mission
Our mission is to share the beauty and richness of Japan with the world.
We support international travelers in making their journeys in Japan more meaningful, memorable, and fulfilling.
We believe that by creating travel experiences rooted in connection and empathy, we can contribute to society and foster deeper human bonds.
Together, we aim to build truly inspiring moments — ones that stay in the heart long after the trip ends.
Our Core Values
Authenticity: We prioritize real, unfiltered experiences.
Connection: We foster relationships between visitors and locals.
Sustainability: We promote responsible tourism that respects nature and community.
Passion: We love Japan — and we want you to fall in love with it too.
