About Tour Guide 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.

“Fukuoka City Tour”
Mr Yoshiharu is a great and professional guide. I highly recommend!
“Great tour guide”
Yoshi is an excellent tour guide. His English is very good and he was very informative. We had a lot of rain in the morning and he had to make adjustments to our itinerary according to the weather. We highly recommend him as a tour guide in Fukuoka. Thank you, Yoshi!

“Great overview of a wonderful city”
Yoshi brought us to the city highlights of Nagasaki. We first went up the ropeway to get a wonderful overview of the city so we could see where we were headed for the day. Next stop centered around the atomic bomb history and peace efforts. Then on to shopping district for lunch and then Glover Garden. Overall we were very happy with the tour and really enjoyed Yoshi’s narrative!
