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.

“Personalised Tokyo tour”
Kota helped design the type of Tokyo day we were interested in; local knowledge and experience for first time visitors outside of the main tourist attractions. Kota's colleague Kira took us for our day of exploring, Kappabashi, Yanaka, Ueno Park and more. It was very helpful to have Kira assist us in navigating the trains and metro, ordering lunch in a fabulous local restaurant and communicating with local shop owners and stall holders. We found Kira energetic, very polite and kind and a delight to spend the day with. Arigatou gozaimasu!
