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!

“Highly recommended!”
Our group of 9 really enjoyed our tour with Shunta. He arranged a van and driver for the day, which made things so relaxing when getting from place to place. He smoothly handled a change in itinerary, and was able to find a great little place for lunch at the last minute. All of us enjoyed our conversations with him throughout the day. We highly recommending booking with Shunta!

“Shunta N - First Class Guide”
This was my first trip to Japan and not knowing the country and certainly not the language I needed a guide and I chose Shunta N. It was a perfect choice the service was first class. I wanted to see the real Japan not just the main tourist sights and he tailored the itinerary for each day incorporating everything I suggested and more. If you are planning a tour and you need a friendly ,knowledgeable ,patient and accommodating guide I would highly recommend Shunta N. - Nick Pentith.
