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.

Two days in Tokyo and orientation for Japan

We had a wonderful two days with Fumie in Tokyo where she had planned a great itinerary for us to experience Tokyo’s sights and delights, she also prepared us to make the most out of our cruise around Japan and gave us the inspiration and confidence to experience each new City and seek out what it had to offer. We embraced this and explored new places and tried new cuisines, Hay seared bonito and Kobe wagu beef were among our favourites- so thank you Fumie!

Fabulous Day with Lilly in Tokyo

We had the pleasure of spending a full day with Lily -- our exceptional tour guide in Tokyo, and the experience was nothing short of fabulous. From the moment we met her, she was personable and engaging, making us feel comfortable and excited about the day's adventures. Her knowledge of Tokyo's top spots was impressive, and she ensured we didn't miss any of the city's must-see attractions. Whether it was the bustling markets, beautiful shrines and temples, or the vibrant atmosphere of Asakusa, she guided us with expertise and enthusiasm. We were lucky to visit during cherry blossom season and Lily brought us to a beautiful area of the Imperial Palace gardens opened only one week per year. That was a once-in-a-life time experience that we would not have known to do but for her! What truly set her apart was her ability to find hidden gems for dining. She introduced us to some fantastic local eateries that we would never have discovered on our own, each offering delicious food and a unique atmosphere. Her fun and lively personality made the day enjoyable and memorable. She was attentive to our interests and tailored the tour to suit our preferences, ensuring we had a personalized experience. Overall, Lily made our visit to Tokyo unforgettable, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking to explore the city with a knowledgeable and delightful companion. Thank you for an amazing day!

Best guide

Naoya and Gowithguide was a discovery upon my research that I started almost a year ago with a dream to see Cherry Blosdoms. As a solo traveller , I was a bit hesistent due to language barriers- but Naoya was divine intervention to make my journey absolutely hassle free and wonderful! Through 9 months of my research and enquiries, Naoya kept responding absolutely on all ( there were many!). I was assured that he would be my perfect guide on this wonderful journey. He was and became my friend, philosopher and guide to accommodate all . Thank you Naoya for making Sakura journey a celebration!
