Kumamoto Private Tours & Local Tour Guides

“Wonderful Tour Experience ”

Steve is one of the most professional and fun tour guides we have experienced in Japan. We are frequent traveler and have visited Japan different regions in Japan in the past few years. There are many local English tour services in Japan, but I have not met someone like Steve who can share the local stories, life in Japan (over 30 years living in Japan), and secret attractions that you won't be able to find on the Internet (even for the local Japanese). If you are looking for an English speaking tour guide in Kumamoto prefecture, Steve is the guy you want to be with. You are not only getting the tour service with Steve, but you can also explore the culture, learning the language, and not to worry about missing any of the best photo spot during your trip with Steve. :)

“Unforgettable One Piece Statue Tour – A Dream Come True!”

This tour was the highlight of my trip to Japan! Visiting all the One Piece statues has been a dream of mine, and going with Steve made it even more special. Steve was an incredible guide — he took us to every statue and made sure we visited the gift shops to collect the exclusive figures available only at each location. Without him, We wouldn’t been able to get them all! He’s been living in Japan for over 30 years and is extremely knowledgeable about Kumamoto and Japanese culture. Being fluent in both English and Japanese, he made the whole experience smooth, informative, and fun — something that would have been difficult to do alone. Steve is also incredibly kind and friendly. He picked us up directly from our hotel, then at the end of the tour, brought us back to drop off our things before kindly dropping us off again in the city center. That extra level of care made a big difference and was greatly appreciated. Thank you so much, Steve, for an amazing day [especially the surprise stop at Costco ;) ]. Highly recommended for any One Piece fan or anyone wanting a unique and thoughtful tour of Kumamoto!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We had so much fun on our trip. I think we talked about everything under the sun! I'm so glad you were my first guests from Saudi Arabia. You both taught me so much about your country and culture. I guess the only thing left to do now is for me to visit you there!

“One Piece Statue Tour”

Honestly dunno how he could of done a better job. He was great banter from start to finish with a neverending list of recommendations and advice for the rest of my trip. On top of all of that he gave me a much better understanding of the devastation the earthquake had on Kumamoto and ultimately the reason for the statues. Which just made the trip even more special. Could not recommend enough!
