Kumamoto Private Tours & Local Tour Guides

“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!

“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. :)

Thank you so much for the review. It was a pleasure taking all of you to the Aso Caldera. You were great guests and I hope you all had a great time in Japan after your departure from Kumamoto.

“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!
