Hi there! Nice to meet you

Pere Ignasi

Hi! I’m Pere Ignasi, but you can call me Peri 😊. I’m a Spanish native who made Japan my home, and I’ve been sharing my passion for this incredible country as a tour guide for years!

I offer tours all over Kansai, but my heart belongs to Kobe and Osaka, two cities full of life, history, and amazing food 🍜! I speak English, Spanish, and Catalan, so you can feel comfortable exploring in your language.

My journey as a guide started when friends visited me in Japan. I loved showing them around, taking them to the best restaurants 🍣, and helping them discover hidden gems. That passion turned into my profession, and now I get to do what I love every day!

Whether you're into history 🏛️, food 🍡, pop culture 🎮, or off-the-beaten-path experiences 🌿, I’ll make sure your tour is tailored to your interests. Want to try new dishes? Explore ancient temples? Visit anime and gaming spots? I’m here to make it happen!

I also have years of experience working with kids, so if you're traveling as a family, I’ll design fun and engaging activities that everyone, adults and children alike, will enjoy.

The best part of my job? Meeting people from all over the world 🌎, sharing stories, and creating unforgettable memories. I’m very talkative, so get ready for a fun and lively tour!

Let me show you the magic of Kansai, its culture, flavors, and hidden treasures. I can’t wait to explore with you! 🗺️

Pere is the best guide a person can ask for. He’s very knowledgeable and knows all the best spots! He’s also very friendly and made me feel very comfortable. I only wish I could have extended the tour so that I could hang out with Pere a little longer! If you’re reading this don’t hesitate to book your tour, you won’t regret it! Pere is the best!!!

We had a great time with Pere, discovering many little corners of Kobe that we would not have found ourselves. We did this tour with our one year old and also appreciate how kind and patient he was with our child, making it an even better experience for us all together. Thank you so much, Pere!!Wonderful experience!

Pere met us at the cruise terminal and took us to the beautiful herb gardens followed by an unforgettable culinary journey! The food and hidden gems (which we would not have been able to find on our own) were absolutely fabulous and delicious! It was our most memorable experience during our almost 3 week stay in Japan. Thank you Pere!An Unforgettable Experience!

Truly believe any tour you take with Pere will be great, but our tour through Kobe was specifically incredible. Pere will personalize and change things around to fit your personal interests, and make sure everyone on the tour has a great time. Thank you, Pere! Pere is awesome!

Peri was awesome. Strolled through several areas and ate food in places i would never have found otherwise. He adjusted plans if requested and added sites of something particular was requested. Importantly I can now tell the difference between real amd fake Kobe Beef!! And Kobe beef sushi is my new thing!! Thank you for a great experience Peri!!! FABULOUS FOOD WITH A FANTASTOC GUIDE

Pere is a very friendly and welcoming guy who obviously enjoys showing people around his adopted country. We covered a lot of ground on our 8 hour tour, and learned a great deal about Himeji Castle and Kobe itself. I would definitely recommend Pere to guide you.A great tour in Kobe with Pere!
