Are you new to The Netherlands? Need an expert to show you the ropes? Nicki is here to help! The president of the Japan Fans foundation offers guided tours in the Netherlands.
Who is Nicki?
Nicki is the president of the Japan Fans foundation. In her daily life she runs her own two companies. One is called Tokiotours. With this company she organizes guided tours in Japan with local, multi linguistic experts. With her other company, “Verken Japan” (which is Dutch for “Explore Japan”), she helps businesses explore the Japanese market and offers consultancy to have successful meetings in Japan and to make deals work.
Why is Nicki a Japan expert?
Nicki has lived in Tokyo for ten years. Currently she is writing her own book “Ten years in Tokyo”, about interesting aspects of the Japanese culture, seen from a Dutch point of view. Nicki was married to a Japanese man for 16 years and has a lot of “insider knowledge” about Japan as a business owner in Japan and as a wife and mother being married to a Japanese man and raising a half-Japanese child.
Nicki started her company Tokiotours back in 2013 and now has a network of 50+ freelance local guides who can conduct guided tours all over Japan. If you would like to see what destinations she offers guided tours in Japan, just look here. If you need a guide at a different location or you need consultation to plan your trip, you are always free to contact Nicki at nicki@tokiotours.nl
What can Nicki do for me in The Netherlands?
Nicki is now living in Amsterdam again. As a Dutch person who has lived abroad for ten years, she has a unique insight in what non-Dutch people face when they want to settle (back) in the Netherlands. Nicki offers consultation and can conduct guided tours in the Netherlands for people interested to see another side of The Netherlands or who are interested in a specific aspect of the Netherlands. Nicki speaks fluent Dutch, English and can manage very well in Japanese.
