▼ Been in Japan for a While? Turn That Into Income.
WOW is a cultural storytelling platform by Yummy Guide Inc. We connect international travelers with long-term residents who know Japan beyond the guidebooks — and pay well for it.
▼ Not Your Typical Tour Guide Job
As a WOWie, you don't just recite facts — you share the real stories, history, and craftsmanship behind each experience.
▼ Tours You'll Lead
We're currently recruiting cultural storytellers across a range of experiences, including:
・Toyosu Market Tour – Behind-the-scenes access to the world's largest fish market and its legendary tuna auction
・Sushi-Making Class – Guide guests through the craft and etiquette of making their own sushi
・Sake Brewery Tour – Introduce the history and craftsmanship behind Japan's traditional sake breweries
・Bar-Hopping Tour – Take guests through hidden local bars and Japan's nightlife culture
・Museum Tour – Share deeper context and stories behind Japanese art and exhibitions
More experiences are added regularly as WOW grows!
