How did I start

RItratti ASL luglio 2023 - IMG_E2620.jpg

Hi everyone, my name is Luca, I am Italian and I have lived for more than seven years in the beautiful city of Takayama, I am the freelance guide so called Amico del Solevante. I began my travel experience with Japan seventeen years ago, out of an innate inclination to one of the most exotic countries on the planet. I speak ​​Italian, English and Japanese. After years around the world, I decided to stop in this small metropolis. The thing that struck me the most is the fact that in such a tiny city there is so much cultural wealth, history and great food. I am an extremely curious person, and after seven years I have come to know Takayama, Shirakawa, Kanazawa very well, but my services also extend between Tokyo and Hiroshima. I think I differentiate myself from many guides as I am not just a guide. I am professional artist, with more than 20 years in the hospitality and customer service experience and everything I do, the stories I tell are always crafted with my way of seeing the world. So here I am, your private artist and guide ready to create with you beautiful experiences!

2025 Activities

I believe that the experience of travel alone is already a great opportunity. A chance to wonder, explore, discover the planet we all are living within. But the interaction also through activities during our life can for some make quite the difference. So I choose among others four activities that are possible with me, during our time together. But of course zen meditation, ceramic experience and others are available depending on the time and availability.
