Tachikawa City, Kunitachi City, and Kokubunji City will start a “Local Guide Training Program” for inbound tourists from fiscal year 2024!

This job involves conveying the charm of the entire Tama area, including not only Tachikawa, Kunitachi, and Kokubunji, but also Okutama and Akigawa Valley, to people from all over the world.

English ability is sufficient if you can have everyday conversations with native speakers! No prior guiding experience is required. Above all, this is aimed at “local” people who have a love for Tachikawa and the Tama area.

Why not join us in discovering the world-class charms of the Tama area, planning tours, and working as an interpreter/guide?

We look forward to your participation.
