Steve R.
Hello! I'm Steve and I’m originally from Sydney, Australia, but I’ve lived in Kumamoto City for the past 28 years. I hold a Gold license. I’d love to take you on a tour of some of the region’s most historic and stunning sites. I took my profile picture on the balcony of my home, which sits high on a hill, offering great views of the city both day and night, with majestic mountain ranges in the distance. I was a school teacher here for 25 years, starting in Japanese public schools before transitioning to an American institution. I understand that when traveling abroad, many people prefer a local tour guide. While I wasn’t born in Japan, after nearly three decades here, I consider myself as local as it gets! Not only can I share insights about the local culture, but I can also offer a unique perspective as a foreigner who has grown to love this country as my own. With our comfortable 4x4 full leather interior SUV, we’ll explore hidden gems that typical tour buses can’t reach, making your experience even more special. On our way to the sites, I’ll describe anything that catches your eye so you don’t miss a thing. I know that returning back from a great trip can feel like the end of something special, so if there’s anything I can do to make the ride more enjoyable, just let me know. On the way back, feel free to play any music you like on the BOSE sound system in the car.

I am a Thai person living in Kumamoto, Japan. This is my second year living in Kumamoto. I really enjoy eating Japanese food. I like going to restaurants that are popular among local Japanese people. I can plan trips and take you to visit various places, and I can also take you to try local dishes from Kumamoto.

Qu'aimeriez-vous manger ? Qu'aimeriez-vous acheter ? Vous serez surpris par la quantité de choix à laquelle vous ferez face. Je vous guiderai parmi toutes ces bonnes et belles choses.

“Visiting all of the One Piece Statues”
Steve was increadibly nice and charismatic and had insightful knowledge on both the local area which the statues are placed in as well as the paths between each statue. We had a great time chatting, and on the trip in general. We definitely recommend this tour to both One Piece fans, and people curious about Kumamoto. Thank you so much Steve! P.S: Best wishes to your mother in law!
Steve R.
Haha, you just had to mention that last part! Thank you for being such great guests. I’m still in shock about my motorbike and car, at least I was able to get her to pay for all that was done, even though it took some convincing! You know what I’m talking about.
