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!

“Shunta is awesome!!”
Shunta was a fantastic guide who aided me during my very first trip to Tokyo. He was extremely knowledgeable when it came to all of the locations we went to and was flexible to any changes needed based on the original itinerary. He was super helpful in when it came to helping me find gifts for my family members back home as well. As a first timer in Tokyo, it can be a little intimidating, but Shunta made it easy fun with his patience and humor. I highly recommend Shunta if you are coming to Tokyo and are looking for a guide!

I’m glad I could help with the gift shopping too! Wishing you all the best on your future travels, and I hope to welcome you back to Japan someday. Warm regards, Shunta

“Best Experience in Tokyo So Far”
This is the first time I hire a local tour guide in Japan. I was not expecting too much but it turned out to be one of the best experience for me! Right before I confirmed, Shunta told me he might not be available for us and will ask his friend Ethan to take care of us. I was totally Okay with it. Ethan was very punctual. Showed up before the scheduled time. The whole tour lasted around 7 hours. I don't think he looked at his phone once for personal stuff. He only checked his phone because he needed to look at our schedule or Google Map for direction (Japan's metro system is insane..). He will recommend places out of the itinerary according to our personal interest. So, we ended up at the Korean Town for K POP shopping as well. He taught us Japanese rituals at Nezu Shrine and told us bunch stuff about Japan's history. He takes care of everyone in the group as well, making sure everyone is engaged, everyone got their metro card and stuff. His English is very good by the way. The highlight gotta be the 居酒屋 (sake house) he took us to. In there, we tried bunch of local Japanese food like raw horse meat, raw chicken, raw duck, etc. Really good beer and highball. Somehow we were able to talk like friends and shared a lot more beyond just customers and a tour guide. He also shot a video for a friend of ours saying happy birthday to her. What a trip! I wish Shunta and Ethan the best of luck! See you guys around!

“A day in Tokyo. ”
Leading up to my groups day with Shunta he was the best communicator. Made it very easy to customize our trip in advance. Even the day of, my group and I decided we wanted to see a few different areas of Japan and he was very accommodating! We ended up visiting a popular fish market, seeing some historic shrines and much more! Shunta even helped my group learn how to navigate the public transit system and now on our 4th day in Japan we are almost professionals. lol Even after our day with him as our guide he reached out to offer assistance if necessary during the rest of our time in Japan and had additional recommendations for the areas we visited outside of Tokyo. He was an amazing guide and he is such a fun and friendly person overall! Would definitely recommend 10 out of 10. If you visit Tokyo be sure to hire him.

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review! It was truly a pleasure guiding you and your group around Tokyo. I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed the tour and that the tips for navigating Japan’s public transit were helpful! Your group’s energy and curiosity made the day even more enjoyable for me. I really appreciate your recommendation and would be delighted to guide you again anytime you return to Japan! Wishing you all the best on the rest of your journey. Warmest regards, Shunta
