Hello, I'm Yoshi!! I started my second career as a tour guide after retiring from the Japanese computer company I had worked for about 40 years. I was born in Asakusa and grew up in down town in Tokyo. I’m married with two daughters and three grandchildren, two girls and a boy. I've experienced guiding international visitors in Tokyo and other famous sightseeing spots as a guide for several years. I will be so happy to help you enjoy your stay in Japan. Look forward to joining my tour!!

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!

Hi! I am Macky. I am glad to accompany you on your tour to Japan and show you the beauty and experiences Japan has to offer. I am an English tour guide and I have guided many foreign visitors around Kamakura, Nikko, Mt. Fuji and Hakone. I love sightseeing myself and I enjoy food and wine… I have been interested in intercultural exchanges and have visited many places locally and overseas alike. I have strong passion in Japanese history, culture, and geography. More than just simply showing you the stunning beauty of the places, I love to impart the cultural and historical value of each sightseeing spot. The place I can guide tourists best is Kamakura which has major shrines and temples with historical and religious details. It can be fun not only to explore Kamakura from historical point of view but also experience various activities such as hiking, rental kimono-clad walking, and learning carving technique as well as soba noodle preparation. I am flexible. My guide is unique and comprehensive. If you want to make the most out of your trip, I can show you around and make you experience Japan to the fullest. I can accommodate the tour according to your needs and preferences giving you a hassle-free, enjoyable and memorable tour. I can also take you to non tourism places such as various factory tours in Yokohama and Kawasaki City.

Hello, welcome to my page! My name is Midori which means GREEN in Japanese. You can call me Midori or Green. I grew up and have lived all my life in Yamanashi Prefecture where Mt. Fuji is and it is only 2 hours bus riding from Tokyo. In my spare time, I hike and play badminton. I also like spending time with my two cats in my free time. I became a National Licensed Tour Guide in 2014, but I started working as a guide mainly in 2023. I worked for an English conversation school in Japan for 23 years and was teaching English and also helping Japanese students to become better English speakers. I realize that teaching and guiding are similar because the essential thing in both is that I could entertain people and I can respond to their requests. When I was in my 20s, I visited many countries. There I had locals or other tourists help me a lot, which made my time unforgettable. Therefore, as a guide, I would really like to assist your trip so that you can have a blast without inconvenience in Japan. In addition, in my tour, I would like to talk about not only how beautiful Mt.Fuji is but also how historical and attractive it is. If you are interested in my tour, please feel free to contact me. You can choose my fixed tour or if you wish, I can customize and make a perfect itinerary based on your requests. Let’s make an awesome trip together at the foot of Mt. Fuji! I am looking forward to seeing you soon.

I used to teach English at a high school and now provide guide service to English speaking people as a freelancer during weekends and holidays. I’m confident in fluency in English and have guided more than 70 tours last year in Tokyo, Yokohama, Hakone, Kamakura, Mt. Fuji region, and my local city Shizuoka (Shimizu). I can guide other places such as Kyoto, Osaka, Nara, Kanazawa, Takayama, and other places if guests want to.

Hi, I'm Ken, a National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter in Japan. I’ve been living in Yokohama, west of Tokyo, for more than 20 years. Since 2018 I have been enjoying guiding guests from all over the globe to various attractive places in Tokyo, Mt. Fuji, Hakone, Yokohama, Kamakura and so on. I can also bring you unique experiences such as sake tasting, car factory, beer brewery, fish markets as well as rural town visit in Tohoku (Northeast district in mainland Japan), where I was born, and you can meet local Japanese people in person. Please think I’m your friend in Japan. Tell me where you want to go, see, or experience. I will customize the itinerary to suit to your interests. My hobby is walking and jogging. I made 42K runs 9 times so far, but I take it easy recently:-) Having worked globally in food industry for 35 years, I love exploring Oishii (delicious) foods.

Mt Fuji hiking tour
Mount Fuji
8 hours 30 min
We are going to hike from 1st station to 5th station on Yoshida trails. Climbing season over 5th of Mt Fuji is from July 1 ~ Sep10. However, you can hike from the first station to fifth station on Yoshida trails in most seasons. You see many plants along trails and see a few lakes if the weather is good. I recommend these people who come to Mt Fuji out of climbing season or who would like to experience not too hard climbing.

“An amazing day with Midori around Mt Fuji!”
Absolutely amazing experience with our private tour guide, Midori! From start to finish, the entire day was pure magic. We visited Lake Kawaguchiko, the peaceful Fujiyoshida Sengen Shrine, and the charming Oshino Hakkai ponds—each location more beautiful than the last, and all framed by stunning, crystal-clear views of Mount Fuji. Midori, a knowledgeable local resident, brought each spot to life with her deep understanding of the area’s history, culture, and natural beauty. She was incredibly accommodating, happily customizing the itinerary to fit our interests and pace. We even stopped for an authentic ramen lunch at a local favorite—absolutely delicious and a perfect mid-day break! What truly made the day unforgettable was Midori herself. She was kind, polite, and an absolute joy to spend time with. Her warm personality and attention to detail made us feel like we were exploring with a good friend rather than just a guide. We feel so lucky to have had both perfect weather and the perfect guide. If you’re planning to visit the Fuji Five Lakes area, don’t miss the chance to book a private tour with Midori—it was hands down one of the best days of our trip. Highly, highly recommend!
Midori N.
Thank you for your great comments. I am very glad to hear your awesome feedback. I just wanted you to enjoy different aspects of Mt. Fuji, so I enjoyed taking you to different spots. The happiest thing on the day was that I could show your mother beautiful Mt. Fuji in her first visit to Japan. I think communication with you through the web was easy and helped a lot to make the tour fantastic. I appreciate that. Again, thank you very much for your considerate words. I hope you come back to Japan soon to climb Mt. Fuji. Midori

At first I was a little hesistent with Go With Guide as I've never used the website, but we were pleasantly surprised with the experience. Zero surprises and complete professionalism. We had Mr. Kurokawa who was super friendly and spoke English very well. He gave us tips during the tour and throughout the drive. Would recommend him and this company!
