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.

Excellent tour in Kochi!

Excellent tour. We had a wonderful time in Kochi. The driver took us to all the major attractions including the beach which was absolutely stunning. Highly recommend this tour company.

Perfect For Families

From the day we booked him, 5 months ago, Dan has been very easy to communicate with and very responsive. He really listened to our specific needs and wants. I highly recommend him if you are looking for a family friendly tour guide! Our son has special needs and Dan made it a priority to connect with him and make him feel cared for. We were also able to ask him all kinds of questions, prior to our trip and of course as well as during our tours, and he would take the time to do some research if he already didn't know the answer. Overall, it felt like we were visiting the city with a friend. The only problem we had is something we can't control : the time flies way too fast! So, the more you communicated beforehand, the more you'll get out of it.

Outstanding Tour with Rika!

We had an absolutely wonderful tour with Rika to Hiroshima and Miyajima. Leading up to the tour, she was excellent communicating with me regarding our day and our preferences. On the day of our tour, she met us at the train station and then we proceeded first to Miyajima. We were able to see some beautiful locations around the island and then shop and have some treats. It was wonderful having Rika to help with transportation, and translate and converse with shop owners and explain to us the food offerings. We then went to Honkawa Elementary School Peace Museum which was a truly unforgettable experience, and then continued on to Hiroshima Peace Park. Rika is an incredible guide and an absolute treasure. My family and children loved her and were engaged the entire time. We hope to return to Hiroshima someday and tour with Rika again!
