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 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!

Thank you for a wonderful tour of Himeji and Kobe. The informations about the castle and the city was amazing. The local lunch in a authentic restaurant and the visit in an izakaya was perfect. Thank you for the reservation in the Kobe-Beef-Restaurant. We can absolutely recommend booking.Kobe

We had a wonderful time with Pere for the Kobe food tour. I only wish we had more time in Kobe to book his other tours. Will definitely use WithLocals again. Fantastic and informative Kobe food tour

My wife and I highly recommend a tour with Pere. He gave us a wonderful insight into Kobe and Japanese culture. We strolled around Kobe trying a few street food snacks before enjoying a delicious Kobe beef teppanyaki meal and a sake museum tour/tasting.Great tour and insight of Kobe

Pere tailored a tour for us that included a cooking class! He went through so much extra effort to find a cooking class for us and the class was over the top! We learned to make a multi layered Japanese Breakfast in the setting of an old sake brewery, converted into a sake tasting and pairing center! The owners’ hosted us and the wife chef was patient and very expert in her teaching skills! Following the class and delicious consumption, Pere continued the tour with his expert knowledge of the area. He made sure we were safely back to our accommodations as well! I highly recommend Pere and the nadagogo sakedokoro.Top Notch Food and Sake Tour

Although it took 2 hours longer than it should have for us to clear immigration from the ship Peri was there and stayed in contact on WhatsApp with us the whole time which was reassuring to know he hadn’t assumed we were just a “No Show”. Obviously the 2 hour delay getting off the ship meant that we then had to shorten our time together but he laid out our options and timings and let us choose our priorities for the time we had left. We then went on to have a great time going up mount Maya followed by a Japanese locals restaurant in Kobe. It was in a place where we probably wouldn’t have gone as tourists on our own, but we had a great time trying local specialities of the area and some Sake before returning to our cruise ship. It seems that we saw more and had a much better time than those on the Ship’s organised tours. Walking with Peri in Kobe
