About the Service

Ultimate Japanese Guide is a private guide service for overseas tourists. They have selected foreign airlines’ active flight attendants with top-class language ability and hospitality. To meet the needs of overseas visitors, their service includes guide interpreting at events or exhibitions and making an appointment for interviews or getting permission for photo shoots.

How It Started

The number of overseas visitors continues to increase. In 2018, it reached more than 30 million, and it is expected that the inbound tourism market will expand even more in 2019. And nowadays, the needs of tourists have become more diverse as tourists are more willing to pay for experiences rather than spending money on shopping.

As the Guide Interpreter Law was revised in January 2018, operating profitable guide service in foreign languages does not require the national certification anymore. And more and more private companies allow their employees to have side jobs. Now people have a better opportunity to utilize their skills.

Franck Inc. has expanded the service through experimental tours with more than 500 active flight attendants with top-class language skill, hospitality, and flexibility to any kind of situation since February 2018. As they received good reviews from both tourists and guides, they decided to officially start the service.

The company will operate the service nationwide to improve travel experience of overseas tourists, to support flight attendants to have a side job, and to promote women’s participation in business.

How to Book

First, send a request through the website with information of when and where you would like to visit. Staff will ask you more about your preference and requests to plan the best tour for you. And a guide will receive the request and if she is available, a reservation is complete.
