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.

Thank you for the amazing time at Yokohama!!

Engaging Kota-san as our private driver-guide at Yokohama was of the best decision of our Yokohama trip! Yokohama was our very first stop in Japan, and I had a wishlist of places I wanted to see. I was not sure if we could realistically fit everything into one day, but Kota-san made it happen seamlessly. Right from the start, he was incredibly responsive and patient. He listened to what we wanted and worked together to fine-tune our itinerary. He also accommodated our request to start later in the afternoon so we could catch Yokohama's daytime charm as well as its stunning night views. On top of that, he went out of his way to book a dinner reservation for us at Hotenkaku Tenshimpo in Chinatown before the tour, which we very much appreciated. Despite our ambitious list, everything was planned so efficiently that we checked off every single spot within seven hours: Iseyama Kotaijingu Shrine, Bashamichi Street, the Red Brick Warehouse, Motomachi, Yamashita Park, Chinatown, Marine Tower, and gorgeous views as he drove us across the Yokohama Bay Bridge. Amazingly, it never felt rushed. We had plenty of time to take photos, explore, and soak in the atmosphere. Kota-san guided us through great walking routes and scenic spots we never would have found on our own. He was also remarkably thoughtful with photos, spotting beautiful backdrops before we even noticed them. Some of my favorite photos from the entire trip were taken by him. More than just a guide, Kota-san was fantastic company. Conversation flowed easily, and the cultural exchanges made the day feel personal, like exploring with a knowledgeable local friend rather than just a tour. It truly set the tone for the rest of our journey. I would definitely recommend Kota-San if anyone is looking for guided tours in Yokohama! Thank you for all the amazing memories at Yokohama! 本当にありがとうございました!

a fun day in Tokyo

We had the greatest guide for the day- Kota- he made the day so special for us! He has great listening skills so he made our day one that we couldn't have designed any better. A native of Tokyo, he knows where everything is and how to save drive time, to see more things. We got to do everything we wanted and more. I cannot recommend Kota enough.
