Hi! I’m Ono, born in Japan but raised in China, back to Japan in my early 17.
Just finished my bachelor’s degree this March and have since dived into fashion design, aiming one day to launch my own independent label. Currently based in Osaka, though most weekends you’ll find me slipping away to Kyoto for fresh inspiration.
Life has carried me through Kanagawa, Oita, the Seto Inland Sea, Hangzhou, and Shanghai—each place tinting my creative palette. I love trading stories with new friends, so feel free to share yours🌻
Addictive to cultural history and art. If you are an art lover let's link up!!
We loved Ono’s tour. He speaks perfect English, the best English we heard from a Japanese person so far, is extremely well documented with a lot of interesting information, the tour exceeded our expectations. Ono spent time to explain details to us and answered our many questions with a lot of patience. He is very careful about the group needs and interests. Highly recommend his tour, you can tell from the first interaction that he is a very kind person, i believe you can also get to understand a bit of what genuine Japanese politeness and kindness means. Thank you for that, Ono!!
A gentle but informative walk through all the key areas, with lots of information and things to see. I would highly recommend this tour as a lovely way to see the area.
We had a really enjoyable tour with Makoto. He was very knowledgeable about all the areas we visited and took his time to answers our questions. As there was only 2 of us he could personalise the tour to what we wanted which made it extra special. Thank you for the experience and good luck in the future.
We had such a great time on our tour with Ono today – it was honestly one of the best I’ve been on. Even though he’s just starting out after finishing school, he was incredibly professional, friendly, and confident from the start. He dedicated so much time to us and made sure we felt completely taken care of. Everything was well prepared, he spoke really clearly and warmly, and took the time to explain things in a way that made us feel connected and engaged. He even recommended a performance based on our interests – such a thoughtful and personal touch. You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does, and his passion made the whole experience really special. We absolutely recommend booking this tour and supporting Ono – he’s a fantastic guide and deserves to be recognised!
