About Tour Guide Issei Y.

Hello everyone!

My name is Issei, and I was born and raised in Japan. During my university years, I had the opportunity to study abroad in Canada, where I spent a year living in Vancouver. The experience of studying and living in such a multicultural city was truly eye-opening—it gave me a deep appreciation for different perspectives and the joy of connecting with people from all around the world.

The kindness and hospitality I received in Canada inspired me to become a guide who can offer the same warmth to visitors in Japan. As your guide, my goal is not only to show you beautiful sights, but also to create authentic experiences where you can feel Japan—its traditions, its modern life, and its hidden gems.

Through my tours, I strive to go beyond ordinary sightseeing. Whether it’s exploring vibrant city streets, tasting local flavors, or experiencing unique cultural traditions, I want to make your journey in Japan truly special and unforgettable.

I look forward to welcoming you and sharing the heart of Japan together.

“Last minute changes both parties ”

Issei advised last minute he cldn't make it but rather than leave us without a guide had made arrangements to have a guide/driver meet us. We also had last minute chgs as one in our party had serious walking issues. They all made sure we saw the highlights. They were flexible, professional, the vehicle comfortable for 4. I highly recommend both GoWithGuide and when in kyoto/osaka Issei.

Issei Y.

Thank you very much for your kind review. I’m really glad to hear you enjoyed the tour. I hope to see you again in Japan.

“Not great ”

We didn’t get Issei instead he had two different people each day. We did not get any history notes. It was very expensive and we had a driver and a “guide” but definitely not a tour guide each day. We had what I would call a “babysitter”. We were very disappointed.

Issei Y.

Thank you for your honest feedback, and I sincerely apologize that your experience did not meet your expectations. I truly regret the inconsistency in guides and the lack of detailed explanations. I take your comments seriously and will use them to improve. Thank you again, and I’m very sorry for the disappointment.

Issei is a great tour guide . He always maintain his patience and understanding every time we have some minor delay due to unexpected things required because we have a 3 years old boy my grandson that always having tantrums. Issei and his companion assistant Kyaren is very approachable person they know their job. Nice meeting you guys for this two days tour at Kyoto & Nara area,.
