About Tour Guide Kota A.

Hello everyone! My name is Kota.


After graduation from a university in Japan I spent a year in Vancouver, Canada, on a working holiday. While working as a server at a sushi restaurant, I had many opportunities to interact with guests who loved Japan, while also learning about Canadian culture from them. Those experiences became truly meaningful to me, and now I would like to take on that role here in Japan—sharing the beauty of my country with visitors and creating unforgettable memories together.


Tokyo is a world-famous metropolis, but beyond its well-known landmarks, it is full of hidden gems that are less crowded and waiting to be discovered. I would be delighted to explore such places with you and do my very best to make your trip to Japan a wonderful experience.


Since I am originally from Hiroshima, I am also very familiar with Kyoto, Hiroshima, and Osaka. I would be happy to give you helpful advice if you plan to visit those areas. And if our schedules align, I would love to guide you around my hometown Hiroshima, as well as Shiga where I spent my student years, or even Kyoto and Osaka. Please feel free to reach out anytime!


I enjoy watching soccer (especially Manchester United!), and I also like beer and whisky.


I’m really looking forward to meeting you all :)


P.S.

I am not a licensed guide, but I work as a friendly guide.

Rather than providing formal or highly specialized guiding like a school tour, my focus is on offering a more relaxed and friendly experience to help you enjoy your time in Japan.

I appreciate your understanding.

Not the Usual Suspects

Kota organized a great day for us, taking us to a number of places not frequented by tourists. Arriving early morning from Australia, Kota knew exactly how to pace the day to ensure we didn’t get too tired. Kota also went off the itinerary to allow us some time to get some shopping in. Kota was very personable, kind and patient and we would highly recommend Kota to anyone visiting Tokyo.

Dear Neil, Anna and Jordan, Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I truly had a great time with you as well! Even though the weather was a bit unstable, I hope you still enjoyed the day ;) I really appreciate you chatting with me so much despite arriving early in the morning and probably feeling tired. Brisbane is a city I would love to visit again, so if I ever have the chance, I will definitely reach out to you! I’m really looking forward to seeing you again. Kota

The best thing we did in Tokyo!

Having this amazing day with our private guide was the best choice to see amazing parts of Tokyo! He took us to beautiful locations that were off the beaten path, so it wasn't as crowded. He took us to all the spots we requested (and we didn't have to figure out the subway again or take tons of taxis). He was friendly, interesting and a great driver. The van was very comfortable, and he even took great pictures of us! Such a great day! Thank you! Arigatoo Gozimasu
