Hi, I'm Ritsuko, a national licensed tour guide. I was born and raised in Tokyo. As Tokyo is a city of many faces, I hope you will discover your hidden gems during the tour. I love to wander around the shops and places downtown and one of my hobbies is to find daily-use products made in Japan. So I can select unique souvenirs for you within your budget! I am football-mad and have been to every FIFA World Cup except one tournament since 1998. I also love to go island hopping in Asia. That's why I have been to over 30 countries. Wherever I went, people were so kind to me. So, it's my turn. I will do my best to make your tour a memorable one! Hope to hear from you soon.

Hi! I'm Koichi. I was born in Osaka, I studied in Kyoto when I was a university student. Now I live in Shiga next to Kyoto. I am a national government licensed tour guide. I have been guiding about 160 groups over the past twelve months. I usually guide my customers mainly in Kansai region including Kyoto, Nara, Osaka, Kobe and Shiga by public transportation systems. Well, I am curious about Japanese history, especially the history of Japan's ancient times since I was raised next to the world biggest mausoleum of the ancient Emperor called "Nintoku" in Sakai city Osaka which has just become one of the world cultural heritage sites. I dug out some ancient earthen ware vessels around there when I was a primary school student like the adventure archaeologist “Indiana Jones" (It’s our secret!!). That was my hobby. Now, one of my hobbies is outdoor activities such as mountaineering, kayaking, skiing and others. So I would like to take you to some good places where you can enjoy Japanese unique nature. I love to guide foreign visitors from all over the world. I think it is my calling or heavenly given job. Let's go and enjoy together! I hope to see you soon.

Kon-ni-chi-wa. Hello! I'm Kaori, having lived in Tokyo for more than 20 years since I got married to a photographer who lives here. Originally from Shizuoka prefecture which has Mt.Fuji, the highest mountain in Japan. I took 2 working-holiday-visa stays in my younger days. One is in Toronto, Canada, and another is Australia touring by motorcycle. One year respectively. I love travel both international and domestic. That's why I love helping individual travelers rather than group tours, because I myself love travel freely. Love nature, gardens, trekking, greenery, also anime. My favorite is taking you to the off-the-beaten tracks where I love. As a national government licensed guide, I've got deep knowledge of Japanese culture and history. I really enjoy talking about the way of life with people from different cultures. We see what you like and talk what you are interested in. That's my style. If you don't know what to want, I can help you with that. I'm happy to make tailor-made tours only for you (up to 4 people) upon your request. ・Half Day as you like (up to 4 hours) : 40,000 JPY ・Full Day as you like (up to 8 hours) : 64,000 JPY ・Extra hour over 8hours : 6,000 JPY/hour I'm quite an outgoing person, ( but organized well! ), easy to get along with anybody, including small kids to teenagers. Can't wait to see you soon!

My name is Miyu. I have been a Nationally Licensed Guide Interpreter since 2009. I began my career as a tourist guide last year after working as a public servant for nearly four decades. I worked in the Atomic Bomb Survivors Support Division for 12 years until I retired from the local government, and I continue to interact with Hibakusha. Therefore, I have a lot of knowledge about A-bomb survivors, the reconstruction of Hiroshima, and the effects of radiation on the human body, which I can correctly convey to inbound visitors. I have experience in tea ceremonies and calligraphy and am especially good at guiding visitors through tea ceremony experiences. I love to watch baseball games, so I enjoy talking about them with guests from countries where they are popular. I am a volunteer medical interpreter and can respond to visitors' sudden health problems.

Hi, I'm Kahori, a nationally licensed guide interpreter, and have just started working with GoWithGuide! I’m delighted to show people around this area. For the past almost 10 years, I have mainly guided foreign medical professionals around Hiroshima City and Miyajima, gaining a deep understanding of the effects of radiation and the support for A-bomb survivors. Hiroshima is a city of rivers and the sea. Along the rivers Cherry trees line, and the calm Seto Inland Sea, dotted with islands, creates a stunning landscape. Also, the sea has many islands called "art islands" which have fantastic arts relating to the art festival "Setoushi Triennale". In addition to our two World Heritage Sites, this area is rich in attractive resources. I hope many of you will come and experience this fascinating land. Personally, I am very passionate about modern art and enjoy sports like stand-up paddle boarding (SUP) on our rivers. I look forward to meeting you, interacting with you, and also, learning from you!

“Exceptional Tour of Hiroshima ”
Our tour of Hiroshima with Mayumi is the top highlight of our 2 week stay in Japan. Our family of 4 truly enjoyed every moment of day that was packed with visiting important historical sites and beautiful landmarks. Mayumi's knowledge base is unmatched to any other guide we've had. She was so gracious to schedule a last minute tour for us and squeezed in the most amazing experiences. Thank you so very much Mayumi! You truly made our visit to Hiroshima and experience we will never forget.

Dera Krysla, I am very honored to receive your excellent review. I appreciate that you made the time to come to Hiroshima in spite of the hot weather. Hoping you and your family enjoy the rest of your stay in Japan, even though the hot and humid weather is likely to continue. All the best. Mayumi

“Amazing Tokyo! ”
We had the the best time with Shunta and Kei! Our boys had so much fun, they did not want the day to end. Our tour was completely customizable, and Shunta took great care to ensure we saw the all the things we were interested in. Shunta and Kei are so good and patient with children, I really commend them on their ability to connect and be fully engaged with all four of our (somewhat wild and crazy) kids. Too many highlights to list, we covered a lot of ground, and saw/did everything we asked for. Shunta and Kei have intimate local knowledge, we visited a great local lunch spot, and very special family operated coffee shop for dessert (in a different part of Tokyo). Thanks guys for an amazing day, and great memories.

“Kahoko is FANTASTIC! ”
Nothing put us at ease on our first day in Tokyo quite like Kahoko. We explored the city for 8 hours with her and by the end of the day it was truly hard to say goodbye. Her patience and knowledge of the transportation, districts within the city, and Kamakura where we visited the temple, gardeners, and Big Buddha was so valuable. We enjoyed our lunch with her and she felt like a friend. We have a 20 year old son, 17 year old son, and 11 year old son and we spoke about her and our gratitude for a truly unforgettable first day in Japan.
Kahoko K.
Thank you very much for the wonderful review ! I had such a lovely time with a terrific family, sweet and beautiful mom, cheerful and charming dad, and tall , good-looking and polite boys. Just looking at lots of happy family scenes made me heart-warming. Under the tough condition of heat and long walking, nobody showed any shade of annoying even when I made a regretful mistake. I really appreciate your kindness and tolerance. I just hope your rest of trip be safel and joyful. Please enjoy !!
