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!

“Japan Trip”
We had the most amazing time with Shunta. He was very thorough and well educated about the places we choose to visit. He went with our pace and kept us on track to allow us to visit a multitude of places in a day. Our experience wouldn’t have been the same without him. He was easy to understand and very accommodating. Also a great photographer haha. Definitely recommend to anyone traveling to Japan.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! It was such a pleasure guiding you all around Tokyo. I’m truly glad to hear you enjoyed the experience and that everything went smoothly. I had a great time spending the day with you and capturing some memories along the way too! Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you visit Japan again—I'd be more than happy to guide you anytime. Wishing you all the best and safe travels!

“Amazing Tokyo! ”
We had the the best time with Shunta and Kei! Our boys had so much fun, they did not want the day to end. Our tour was completely customizable, and Shunta took great care to ensure we saw the all the things we were interested in. Shunta and Kei are so good and patient with children, I really commend them on their ability to connect and be fully engaged with all four of our (somewhat wild and crazy) kids. Too many highlights to list, we covered a lot of ground, and saw/did everything we asked for. Shunta and Kei have intimate local knowledge, we visited a great local lunch spot, and very special family operated coffee shop for dessert (in a different part of Tokyo). Thanks guys for an amazing day, and great memories.

Hi Todd, I'm glad to hear that you all had a great time! It was such a fun tour for us too, thanks to your kindness and the amazing energy of your kids. You and Tina were so warm, and your boys made the day extra special! I hope we get to meet again someday! Thank you, Shunta

“Great communication and service ”
Shunta and his team were amazing! Fast and great communication and very flexible in terms of changing any part of the itinerary. I appreciate them finding us at the airport and even being 30mins early. The driving felt very safe and smooth which was nice after a 16hr flight. I would highly recommend for anyone wanting to avoid the stress of traveling by train (especially with luggage and tired kids) and want a great translator. They speak fluent English and can find local specialities rather than tourist traps. A++
