About Me

Hello! My name is Chiharu and live in Osaka. I am a native speaker with a broad vocabulary.
I enjoy traveling, movies, reading, gardening and eating ramen🍜.
I love to communicate with people from different cultures and backgrounds.
I've traveled to 45 of Japan's 47 prefectures, so I can recommend places to visit here. Outside of Japan, I’ve been to the United States, Canada, Thailand, Singapore, Australia, Greece and Italy. I'd love to visit more places. Please share me some spots and food in your country.Me as a Teacher
For over 10 years at universities, I have helped international students and improve their Japanese language skills, taught them Japanese customs, and supported them in making their lives in Japan smoother. I understand how difficult it can be to learn Japanese and get used to different customs.My lessons & teaching style
In my lessons, we’ll focus on practical Japanese conversation—whether it's for travel, daily life, or polite business settings.
Planning a trip to Japan? I’ll make sure you’re fully prepared to navigate smoothly.
If you need Japanese for business, I can help you master polite language and cultural nuances to communicate confidently and respectfully.
I will tailor lessons to fit your goals and needs, so we can enjoy learning Japanese together and reach the next level!

Chiharu-san is a great teacher! Her lessons are well-structured. I always know what to expect and study for the next lesson. She's very attentive and readily explains any concepts I don't understand and is eager to answer questions I have. After one month, I'm surprised by how much I know just from one hour a week with Chiharu-san! Definitely recommend!

We did not have a language lesson this time, because I was not in the headspace for it, but Chiharu was still so responsive and engaging when I just wanted her to field questions for me about regions to visit in Japan. We had such an interesting conversation and she forwarded me interesting resources for my next trip. She is so endearing and uncomplicated to get to know, I would recommend to anyone to try a lesson with her.
