As of March 2024, there are a total of 29 national interpreter guides and the Koya Kumano Licensed Guide Interpreters (Koya and Kumano Local Guides).
In order to ensure that every guide has minimum necessary skills, we conduct various training programs of our own and strive to improve the level of our guides.
