Luca is Italian and has called the beautiful city of Takayama home for nine years. For the past decade, he has worked as a freelance guide under the name Amico del Solevante. His journey with Japan began nineteen years ago, born from a deep fascination with one of the world’s most intriguing countries. He speaks Italian, English, and Japanese. After years spent exploring the world, he chose to settle in this small yet culturally rich city. In time, his curiosity led him to develop a deep knowledge of Takayama, Shirakawa, and Kanazawa, and he also offers services stretching from Tokyo to Hiroshima. Luca stands apart because he genuinely loves what he does. Before becoming a guide, he was already a multifaceted professional artist. With more than 20 years of experience in hospitality and customer service, his stories and shared moments reflect his personal way of seeing Japan and the planet. He collaborates with companies worldwide and creates memorable experiences for private travelers. If you’re seeking a beautiful experience to keep in your heart, you’ve come to the right place.
