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 :)

Thank you for your warm words! I truly enjoyed the time we spent together. Please come back to Japan again — I’ll be waiting!

Nice trip in Kyoto

Kota is a very polite guide who helped us approach Tokyo for the first time. He showed us the most famous areas and the local foods. He is a very kind and efficient guy and communicating with him is simple and fast. He speaks very well english and share with us the schedule program for the day. Alessandra

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! I’m truly happy if I was able to contribute to making your day in Japan a memorable one. I also had such a great time spending this beautiful day with you. Next time, let’s enjoy some delicious, authentic espresso together :) Ciao! Kota

Unforgetable Day

We had a wonderful experience with our private chauffeur service in Tokyo. Kota and Kei accompanied us for about seven hours, and everything was perfect. They were always punctual, picked us up right on time, and responded to our wishes immediately. They showed us several beautiful temples and explained a lot about the places we visited. The car was comfortable, and despite the warm weather we always felt well taken care of. Both of them were very friendly, attentive, and professional. We can highly recommend this service and are very thankful for this unforgettable day. Their English is also very good!

Dear David and friends, Thank you once again for joining the tour! Although it was a hot day, the time we spent together was truly meaningful and enjoyable for me. I promise I’ll visit Austria someday! And when I do, let’s definitely have a beer together and make a toast! Danke! Kota
