Jun M.
Hello! I'm Jun, your adventure travel guide. My fascination with the nature of Kyushu began when I was a child and my parents took me to the beautiful Aso mountains and their vast green grasslands. That view remains my starting point to this day. Having been born and raised in Kyushu and having studied its nature, history, and culture, I will guide you to the "real Kyushu" that you won't find in guidebooks. From the majestic volcanic landscapes of Aso to the mystical gorges of Takachiho and the hot spring–rich lands of Beppu, Kyushu is alive with breathtaking natural wonders around every corner. It's the history and culture of the people who have lived alongside this nature that make this place truly special. My tours offer more than just scenic views. Through interactions with locals, experiences of traditional food culture, and activities in nature, I deliver journeys where you can experience Kyushu with your whole being. Only by learning how the land was formed, hearing from the people who live here, and setting foot on the land yourself will you have a truly memorable experience. Over the past several years, I have gained experience leading mountain hiking and rural walking tours as a registered outdoor guide of Oita. I have completed Wilderness Advanced First Aid (WAFA) training. Come discover Kyushu's charm with me and create a memory that will stay with you forever!

Yoshiharu S.
Hello, everyone! I am Yoshiharu, a national certified tour guide. Fukuoka is my birthplace, so I have a close attachment to this region. Though you may not be familiar with the name of Fukuoka, I assure you that Fukuoka will provide new discovery and pleasure to your stay in Japan. I have a passion to introduce my country and regions from many points of views. Japan is a country which offers original culture and history. On the other hand, Japan has another attractiveness represented by advanced toilets with many functions, hotels with robot receptionists and so on. The co-existing society with the image of old Japan and the present Japan with high technology definitely make Japan a more attractive place. Not only take you to sightseeing spots and give you some explanations, but also I will help you to learn much more deeply about Japan and Japanese people, their way of thinking and lifestyle. In Addition to the tour guide license, I have received the qualification of international kikisake-shi,.sake sommelier. I will do my best to make your stay in Japan more memorable in a fun way. Let’s go out for new adventures together! (NOTE) I am not a land operator. It means that I don't make reservations for vans, buses, accommodations and other things for you except I think it is indispensable for me. I can give you some advice but, for example, if you want to charter a van for your travel, please contact taxi companies and make a reservation by yourselves. If you have difficulties doing it that way, please contact GoWithGuide or land operators in Japan and your country. Thank you for your understanding.

Oita Tour Reviews
Kevin J.
“Well recommended for your AoT/Hita trip!”
We had a great time with Kei! We wanted to see some of the Attack on Titan sights in the area, and having a local guide who can provide transport was invaluable (it can be a LONG walk to certain spots). Kei was super communicative before the trip, and had a good (and flexible) schedule planned out for the day. He helped us with getting the proper trains to/from Hakata to Hita, which was appreciated. We hit all of the major AoT spots and still had time to see a wonderful artisanal pottery village, which was definitely one of the highlights. Lunch was excellent, and he also gave us some great recommendations for the food scene in Fukuoka. If you're looking for an AoT tour in Hita, or just want someone to show you some different sights in the Japanese countryside, we highly recommend Kei!
Kei H.
Thank you very much. I appreciate that you share the wonderful information about Costa Rica. I'll be longing to trip to your country in the future for sure.

“As a group of four, we hired Kei to take us to the historical city of Usuki to experience the some of the history of Japanese culture.”
We arrived in Beppu via a cruise ship, but planned on going to the city of Usuki to explore the samurai district and then venture on to see the Usuki stone Buddhas. We arranged a tour with Kei who had his own van that readily accommodated four of us for the ride from Beppu to Usuki, thus avoiding the need for public transport. Kei walked us through the samurai district highlighting the history of the area ending in a little shop with a wonderful unique blend of ice-cream. We then went on to see the Usuki stone Buddhas with Kei giving us a great historical overview. Kei then took us to a small pottery factory before taking us back to Beppu. When we got back to Beppu, Kei took us up to a great lookout high in the hills, where we got a wonderful view of the city and water below. Kei was an excellent guide, very hospitable and knowledgeable with a very good command of the English language, which made our trip a wonderful experience. Pat and Alida

Thank you very much for choosing Usuki tour, which is one of my most favorite programs to have a real-life taste of Japan. Hope you enjoyed miso ice cream.

“Best Tour Ever!!”
100% worth the cost. Traveling around Hita via the busses and taxis would have been impossible for all that ai wanted to see. Kei not only customized the itinerary, he was also great company and friendly! I included Attack on Titan stops as well as local geta store and yakisoba. Every single stop was memorable and the city is so beautiful. Kei communicated very well before the trip so I knew exact schedule for the day in advance. I didn't feel rushed at all.
Kei H.
Thank you for joining the tour with a wonderful cosplay uniform! I enjoyed lots being immersive into the AoT world!
