Before You Apply
What you'll need to submit
Have these ready before you start. You can save time by opening your JNTO credential and a portfolio link in another tab.
JNTO National Guide License
Your official government-issued interpreter-guide license number. Required by law for paid guiding in Japan.
A sample itinerary
One full-day itinerary (at least 80 characters) you would run with a first-time traveler to your city. Real stops, timing, and why each stop matters.
Languages you guide in
At least one, beyond Japanese. Most travelers want English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, or Italian.
Your home city & years of experience
Where you primarily operate and how long you have been a licensed guide. We specialize in Japan — depth beats breadth.
Portfolio link (optional but encouraged)
Instagram, your own site, or a Google Drive folder with photos of past tours. Great photos get more bookings.
