Hello! I'm Steve and I’m originally from Sydney, Australia, but I’ve lived in Kumamoto City for the past 28 years. I’d love to take you on a tour of some of the region’s most historic and stunning sites. I took my profile picture on the balcony of my home, which sits high on a hill, offering great views of the city both day and night, with majestic mountain ranges in the distance. I was a school teacher here for 25 years, starting in Japanese public schools before transitioning to an American institution. I understand that when traveling abroad, many people prefer a local tour guide. While I wasn’t born in Japan, after nearly three decades here, I consider myself as local as it gets! Not only can I share insights about the local culture, but I can also offer a unique perspective as a foreigner who has grown to love this country as my own. With our comfortable 4x4 full leather interior SUV, we’ll explore hidden gems that typical tour buses can’t reach, making your experience even more special. On our way to the sites, I’ll describe anything that catches your eye so you don’t miss a thing. I know that returning back from a great trip can feel like the end of something special, so if there’s anything I can do to make the ride more enjoyable, just let me know. On the way back, feel free to play any music you like on the BOSE sound system in the car.

tea ceremony, fugu and kimono shopping

Experienced knowledge and well versed in English. started off the day discussing what you'd like to all see/do over tea/coffee. Can translate anything you would like to know and help with picking out items to buy. Made wonderful reservations for fugu which was an amazing experience

Excellent Tour

Our tour guide Araf (Shish) & the driver Graham were excellent & far exceeded our expectations. We toured Tokyo extensively & got to know this large city in a 10-hour tour. From the time we were met in the hotel to the end of the tour we were given nonstop information about this beautiful city. The visit to the fish market was very special & we had a taste of the best Wagyu beef & other delicacies. The view from the parliament building, suggested by Shish was not on our schedule but shouldn't be missed. Overall, I couldn't have asked for more !
