About US
Welcome to Linker-JAPAN
What We Stand For: Beyond the Tour
At Linker-JAPAN, we believe that the best journeys happen when the language barrier disappears and genuine connection begins.
Japan is a country rich in hidden wonders, local traditions, and amazing people, but too often, travelers are confined to guidebooks, expensive organized tours, and the few places where English is spoken.
Our mission is simple: To be the bridge—the “Linker”—that connects you directly with the heart of Japan. We empower you to travel with total freedom, unmatched authenticity, and complete peace of mind, all while ensuring great value.
Your Gateway to the New Japan.
Why University Students? The Linker-JAPAN Difference
1. Passion for Communication, Not Just Tourism
Our student assistants are not focused on selling you a packaged tour. They are language learners who are genuinely passionate about cultural exchange. They are excited to practice their skills, share their local knowledge, and ensure you have the best day possible. This passion translates to a friendlier, more flexible, and more enthusiastic level of support than you will find anywhere else.
2. Local, Real-Time Knowledge
Students are immersed in the current Japanese culture—the latest trends, hidden local eateries, and efficient ways to navigate their cities. They offer an insider’s perspective that traditional guidebooks and tour operators often miss.
3. Smart Value for Travelers
By avoiding the high operational costs associated with professional tour guiding, we can offer top-quality, personalized assistance at a fraction of the cost. This smart pricing allows you to spend your budget on experiences—not just fees.

DAIKI SUZUKI
Linker-JAPAN was born from a simple yet powerful realization I had during my own language studies: many passionate language learners lack the real-world opportunities to connect with visitors and turn their skills into confidence. Our mission is to bridge this gap. We connect enthusiastic student assistants with travelers like you, creating a service that not only offers you the freedom and affordability to explore the authentic Japan without language barriers, but also provides our students with a vital, enriching platform to grow. We’re linking travel dreams with true potential.
