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!
Depending on your tour and needs, my teammates Kei and Ethan may also join to help ensure the best experience.

“Excellent private tours!”
Shunta, Momo and Ethan bestowed two wonderful private tours on our family -- they allowed us the flexibility to request certain sites, were extremely kind and cheerful to be around, and made sure we had a fun, relaxing time! Even before we arrived in Japan, Shunta helped answer my many questions, and reassured me that he would take great are of us, and he exceeded our expectations! Despite a last minute emergency, Shunta made sure to provide us with another excellent tour guide (Ethan) for our 2nd tour -- that is the professionalism and conscientiousness that we truly appreciated! Five stars -- would highly recommend working with Shunta and his team!

Thank you so much for your warm review! Every moment spent with you and your wonderful family was truly enjoyable and has become a precious memory for me. Momo and Ethan also said they had a great time. I was especially moved by your willingness to challenge yourself with Japanese — that attitude truly inspired me, and it's something I’d love to learn from. Thank you for everything! I'm really looking forward to seeing you again in Japan!

“Shunta is awesome”
Our family of 2 parents and 4 children spent our first day in Tokyo with Shunta to show us sights and teach us about food, the Metro and buying train-tickets. Shunta has a friendly, relaxed demeanor and was flexible in accommodating us. He communicates well and is a master of efficiency getting around Tokyo - and he walks for hours with happy energy. We are grateful to Shunta and recommend him enthusiastically!

“Cherry Blossoms in the evening.”
I think I prefer the evening tour of the Cherry Blossoms. Hiroki was a great tour guide and we enjoyed our time together. Thank you for the memorable experience. I want to also thank Ethan for our day time Cherry Blossom tour yesterday. He is a great tour guide and an asset to the team. Thank you Shunta.
Shunta N.
