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 :)

Reviews

A memorable tour to Kawagoe

I want to thank Kota on my tour of Japan, in creating a memorable tour for me. I explained my desires to travel as locals do, eat taste what the area visited is known for, my liking for traditional ways, methods, history, craft and people so…. Kawagoe, thank you Kota for always looking back, checking me and surroundings for my safety, the easy conversations, walking the neighborhood, being the translator, revealing the history, the tastings, and that great soba noodles and tempura served in that old traditional place, excellent …. I would never have found that quaint old spot. I will be back, hope to have you as my guide again on another tour.

Dear Gregg, Thank you so much for your warm review. I imagine the distance from the hotel might have been a bit tiring, but I truly hope you still felt it was an enjoyable time. Sharing sweets, food, and the beautiful scenery together has become a wonderful memory for me as well. Please make sure to contact me again when you come back to Japan! I’ll be looking forward to seeing you again as soon as possible ;) Kody

Amazing Night Out in Tokyo with Kota!

Thanks to Kota, we had a fantastic night in Tokyo. He took us to real local izakayas we could never find on our own, and all the food and drinks were delicious. His explanations were clear and friendly, and it felt like going out with a local friend. It became one of the most memorable experiences of our trip. Highly recommended!

Hi Helder! Thank you as well for the fun time and the drinks ;) I’m really happy that you enjoyed experiencing a local Japanese izakaya. It was a short time together, but please feel free to contact me again the next time you come to Japan! Let’s go out for drinks again. Kody
