Yangyang LI

My name is Yangyang Li, and I grew up in China. From a young age, I was captivated by exploration and the thrill of discovering new places. This passion naturally led me to a career in the adventure tourism industry, where I’ve spent the past 10 years designing and guiding immersive experiences across the globe—in France and Indonesia. I am deeply passionate about outdoor adventures, whether trekking through remote mountains, hiking hidden trails, or discovering pristine islands and cultural landscapes off the beaten path. For me, travel is not just about visiting new places—it’s about connecting with nature, embracing challenges, and sharing truly unforgettable experiences with others. Now based in Tokyo, I continue to create adventure travel experiences that push boundaries, spark curiosity, and allow travelers to fully immerse themselves in the landscapes and cultures they explore. My greatest motivation comes from witnessing the joy, growth, and transformation that adventure brings to people’s lives.

Choose me as your local travel expert, and I’ll take you beyond the usual tourist trails to experience the Japan few visitors truly see. With over 10 years of adventure travel experience around the world—in France, Indonesia, and beyond—I now explore Japan with the same curiosity and passion, revealing its hidden mountains, rivers, and cultural treasures. Imagine hiking through the crimson forests of the marshlands in autumn, passing waterfalls, and feeling the crisp mountain air as leaves turn red and gold. Picture rafting down the wild currents of the rivers, laughing with friends as you leap into the rapids, then winding down in a secluded private onsen, soaking in warm waters while reflecting on the day’s adventure. Or trekking the remote trails of Kamikochi’s mountains, discovering hidden valleys and serene landscapes off the beaten path. I love blending these adventures with Japan’s rich culture—exploring historic shrines, ancient villages, and contemporary art spaces like teamLab—to create experiences that are both thrilling and deeply immersive. I know how to reveal the side of Japan that most one-day visitors never get to see, crafting journeys that combine adrenaline, nature, and culture in ways that leave travelers inspired, amazed, and connected. With me, every trip is more than sightseeing—it’s a story you live, a challenge you embrace, and a memory you’ll never forget.
