About Tour Guide Shunta N.
Hello everyone!
I was born and raised in Kawagoe, a charming historic city located just next to Tokyo in Saitama Prefecture. Two years ago, I graduated from university here in Japan, and I now work as both a tour guide and a study abroad support advisor.
Three years ago, I had the life-changing opportunity to study abroad in Vancouver, Canada. The warmth and hospitality of the locals left a deep impression on me. I discovered the joy of immersing myself in a new culture and way of life, and I truly came to appreciate the beauty of connecting with people from diverse backgrounds.
Now, I want to be the one offering that kind of experience to others. As your guide, my goal is to make your journey in Japan truly special.
Through GoWithGuide, I strive to go beyond typical sightseeing—I want to create meaningful opportunities for you to engage with Japan’s rich culture and traditions on a deeper level.
I’m committed to providing a safe, thoughtful, and unforgettable experience for every guest.
Let’s not just visit Japan—let’s feel Japan.
Join me on this unique journey, and together, let’s discover the heart and soul of this incredible country.
I look forward to meeting you soon!

“Great Intro to Tokyo!!”
We had a great time! We wanted to visit “must see places” and some more quiet locals only areas, and our guide took us there. We learned how to use the subway system and tasted some fantastic foods. Our guide was very cheerful and shared some Japanese culture trends. Highly recommend.

“Amazing Tour of Tokyo”
Shunta was such a great guide and gave my family and I the best introduction to Tokyo on our first day in Japan. He was very easy to work with and helped construct an itinerary with fun things to do for everyone in our group! I would highly recommend him.

“Shunta helped plan a great trip; Kody and Masa helped execute it”
My husband and I booked a private tour to visit sites in Numazu connected with my family history, with a possible stop in Hakone. Shunta helped plan a great itinerary but became ill last minute—yet he arranged for Kota (Kody) and Masato (Masa) to take care of us so we didn’t have to cancel. They were wonderful! Kody went above and beyond, calling ahead to temples so we could have meaningful conversations about my family, and Masa was a safe, friendly driver. They even found us a fantastic seafood spot at Numazu Port and managed to fit in a quick visit to Hakone’s floating torii. A truly special and memorable day thanks to Kody and Masa!

Dear Michael, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I’m truly happy to hear that you enjoyed your time in Numazu and Hakone. Even though I couldn’t be there in person, I’m so glad that Kody and Masa were able to make your day special. It means a lot to us that you appreciated their care and hospitality. We all really enjoyed helping you connect with your family’s history and creating meaningful memories together. Wishing you and your husband all the best, and we hope to see you again in Japan! Warm regards, Shunta

Tokyo Bar Hopping Tour in Shinjyuku(Location can be changed)
I will take you to 3 izakayas (Japanes Bars) that Japanese usually go in Shinjyuku. Some places like Memory Lane(Omoide Yokocho), Kabukicho, Golden Gai etc. You can save time researching and planning your trip because I will show you places that are usually difficult for tourists to find. I can recommend you delicious foods & drinks and order it for you, so you can take the stress out of language barriers. Also during the bar hopping, I can show you nice places in Shinjyuku.
