As a nurse and midwife, I cared for people of every age, from newborns to the elderly. It taught me to notice what each person needs, from a child’s comfort to an older guest’s health. Whether a guest feels unwell during their trip or simply wants to maintain their wellbeing, I draw on that experience to help.

Travel, for me, is more than making arrangements. It is about giving each guest the freedom to experience Japan in their own way. That is what I value most at FAMILIA.

I began my career as a jockey, riding in North America and beyond. After retiring from racing, I worked as an interpreter for professional baseball players. Today, I interpret for international jockeys and support Japanese racehorses competing overseas, helping connect Japanese racing with the world.

As a jockey, and now as an interpreter and racehorse coordinator, I have bridged more than language, bringing culture and nuance across as well. Drawing on that experience, I help guests enjoy their time in Japan more naturally, and more deeply.
