Hi, I’m Gold ! I love Nagoya for its convenience—it’s the perfect base for exploring, but it also has so much to offer on its own. As a coffee lover, I’m a big fan of Nagoya’s unique *Morning* culture, and I enjoy finding quiet, retro cafes where you can truly relax. I also love browsing thrift stores and hidden shopping spots, hunting for lucky fashion finds. If you’re looking for photogenic, peaceful places beyond the usual tourist spots, I know just where to go! Whether it’s sipping coffee in a charming café, enjoying a cozy izakaya, or finding the best discounted souvenirs, I’d love to show you a side of Nagoya that feels local, laid-back, and fun.

Gold was very friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable of the history of places we visited. Prior to our arrival in Japan, she informed me about possible weather so we could be better prepared for our trip. Gold is highly commendable.
