MEET JAPANESE CRAFTSMEN
Responsible travel development advisor & bubbly French-speaking guide
My name is Julie Baud, I am a guide specializing in traditional Japanese crafts. Originally a graduate of Bookbinding and Gilding Arts, I reoriented myself towards tourism in order to combine my passion for crafts and Japan.
My mission is to convey my love for the inhabitants of the archipelago and their know-how in visits that are both enriching and entertaining. I offer you a human Japan, far from the beaten track, but close to the locals and their daily lives.
ENGLISH/FRENCH SPEAKING GUIDE IN NAGOYA
Based in the Nagoya region since 2012, over the years I have developed a strong relationship with several masters and various traditional trades in this rich and yet little-known region.
More than just a guide, I am a storyteller.
Join me for a unique adventure, full of laughter and unforgettable discoveries. With me, you will explore the hidden treasures of Nagoya and its region, while letting yourself be enchanted by the ancestral traditions and the creativity of Japanese artisans.
IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE
Because the discovery of craftsmanship is not limited to visiting a workshop, I create a completely personalized tour for each request. Your private accompaniment combines a highlight of communication and an activity with an artisan, a visit to local attractions linked to the theme of your day and pieces of history chosen with humor, all enhanced by delicious gourmet and local breaks.
Typical course of a tailor-made day:
- Pick up directly from your Hotel.
- Transportation to the chosen location (car with driver available)
- Guided tour of the surroundings in order to obtain a global understanding of the place and the chosen craftsmanship.
- Breakfast in a local restaurant.
- Private meeting with a Japanese craftsman and manufacturing activity.
- Coffee break in a local business.
- Return to your hotel.
