Kia Ora! I'm Nobu, the founder of Hello Kiwi.
I was born in Japan but grew up in New Zealand from a young age. After spending many years living, studying, and working in New Zealand, I have now returned to Japan and currently live in Osaka.
Because I understand both Japanese and New Zealand culture, I created Hello Kiwi to help people enjoy language learning and cultural experiences in a relaxed and practical way.
Whether you're looking to improve your English skills or explore Japan with a local guide, I'm here to help.
Everyone learns differently, and that's okay! At Hello Kiwi Japanese, I offer both online and in-class lessons that are completely tailored to you. Together, we'll focus on what matters most to you!
Whether that's speaking confidently, understanding Japanese culture, preparing for exams, or getting ready for your next adventure in Japan.
Let's make learning Japanese enjoyable, practical, and meaningful for you.
Visiting Japan soon?
This practical 100-minute course is designed for travellers who want to learn useful Japanese before or during their trip.
Instead of focusing on grammar rules and textbooks, you'll learn phrases that you can use immediately while exploring Japan.
Topics may include:
The lesson is fully customised to your travel plans, destination, and Japanese level.
Whether you're visiting Osaka, Tokyo, Kyoto, or travelling around Japan, you'll leave with practical Japanese that you can use straight away.
Planning a trip to Osaka?
I offer local guiding services around Osaka and nearby areas, helping visitors experience Japan beyond the typical tourist attractions.
Instead of joining a large tour group, you'll explore with someone who understands both Japanese culture and the perspective of international visitors. Having lived in both New Zealand and Japan, I can help bridge the cultural gap and make your trip more comfortable and enjoyable.
I can help you:
Whether it's your first visit to Japan or your fifth, I'd love to help you discover Osaka with confidence and create lasting memories along the way.
