About Tour Guide Toshiki O.
Hello! I'm Toshi, a travel lover from Tochigi.
I love traveling and have been lucky enough to visit over 40 countries so far. One of the best parts of traveling is meeting local people, and I've been helped by so many kind people around the world.
That's one of the reasons I wanted to become a guide. I'd love to help visitors enjoy Japan the same way local people helped me during my travels!
I also enjoy talking with people from different countries. I'm always interested in hearing your travel stories, your culture, and what surprised you about Japan, etc.
Another thing I love is food. Whether it's famous local dishes or small restaurants that only locals know, I'm always happy to share my favorite places. Let's have fun together!
If you're looking for a relaxed, friendly tour with a local, I'd be happy to show you around. Hope to see you in Japan!

“Above and Beyond—Highly Recommend Toshi”
Toshi was an exceptional guide, and we are incredibly grateful for the care he took to make our experience so special. He was very accommodating and willingly adjusted our tour time to help us avoid traffic and crowds, which made a tremendous difference in our day. His English was excellent, and his knowledge of the area made the tour both enjoyable and informative. One of our favorite experiences was the opportunity to enjoy a traditional soba noodle lunch. Toshi helped us navigate an experience we would not have felt comfortable attempting on our own, making it even more memorable. To top it all off, he takes wonderful photos, allowing us to capture memories of our time in Nikko! We both give Toshi our highest possible recommendation. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, thoughtful, and accommodating guide who goes above and beyond to make your experience memorable, we wholeheartedly recommend him. We are so thankful we had the opportunity to spend the day with him!

Toshiki O.
Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words. I can't express how grateful I am for your kindness and support throughout the day. You were my very first guests, and as I mentioned, I was a bit nervous at the beginning. But you were both so warm and understanding that I quickly felt at ease and was able to enjoy the day just as much as you did. I truly couldn't have made the day go so smoothly without your flexibility and cooperation! I'm really happy that you enjoyed the soba restaurant I took you to and the food we had there. I'm also really glad I could capture some special moments for you through my photos. I'll always remember you both as my very first guests. Thank you again for making my first tour such a wonderful experience and for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review. It truly means more to me than you know. I hope our paths cross again someday!
