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!

Hi Vero! Thank you so much for your kind words and for spending the day with me on the sumo watching and Tokyo tour! I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed the experience. It was a real pleasure guiding you, and I appreciate your warm and thoughtful feedback. If you ever return to Japan, I’d be delighted to guide you again. Wishing you all the best in your future travels, and I hope we can meet again in Montreal someday! Thank you, Shunta.

“Trip to Nikko and Narita”
Thank you Shunta and team (Kei, Yoshi and Teppei) for bringing me to places visit and having local meals which would be difficult for me if I were to arrange by myself. Thank you for informing the weather forecast which would not allow Mt Fuji to be visible so we were able to switch the destination to Nikko instead. My last day in Tokyo also became fruitful and relaxing with strolls around Narita Shinsoji Temple and Sawara. I really appreciate the helpfulness and flexibility while planning the tour as well as during the tour itself. Thank you!

Dear Gary, Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re truly glad to hear that you enjoyed the trip to Nikko and Narita, and we’re happy we could adjust the plan based on the weather to make the most of your time in Japan. It was a pleasure for all of us—Yoshi, Teppei, Kei, and myself—to spend the day with you. Your warm attitude and curiosity made the day even more enjoyable. We sincerely appreciate your trust and flexibility, and we hope to welcome you back to Japan again someday! Warm regards, Shunta
