Kahori M.
Hi, I'm Kahori, a nationally licensed guide interpreter, and have just started working with GoWithGuide! I’m delighted to show people around this area. For the past almost 10 years, I have mainly guided foreign medical professionals around Hiroshima City and Miyajima, gaining a deep understanding of the effects of radiation and the support for A-bomb survivors. Hiroshima is a city of rivers and the sea. Along the rivers Cherry trees line, and the calm Seto Inland Sea, dotted with islands, creates a stunning landscape. Also, the sea has many islands called "art islands" which have fantastic arts relating to the art festival "Setoushi Triennale". In addition to our two World Heritage Sites, this area is rich in attractive resources. I hope many of you will come and experience this fascinating land. Personally, I am very passionate about modern art and enjoy sports like stand-up paddle boarding (SUP) on our rivers. I look forward to meeting you, interacting with you, and also, learning from you!

A warm welcome from Tsuwano—a hidden jewel nestled in Japan’s breathtaking mountain landscapes. I’m Mio, your personal guide to the authentic beauty and rich history of this enchanting region. While I regularly host group tours and exclusive shore excursions for cruise guests, my true passion lies in crafting bespoke, off-the-beaten-path experiences for discerning travellers like you. The Chugoku region, where I call home, is a treasure trove of natural wonders and cultural heritage, offering a serene escape from the well-trodden tourist trails. To ensure your journey is as seamless as it is memorable, I’d be delighted to tailor every detail to your preferences—whether it’s accommodating specific mobility needs, dietary requirements, or unique interests. If you’re seeking a deeper connection with Japan’s countryside, paired with insightful conversations and hidden local gems, I’d be honoured to be your guide. Let’s create an experience that’s as extraordinary as the destination itself. I look forward to welcoming you to this remarkable corner of Japan.

Mari Y.
Hello! I’m Mari. I’ve lived in Ube, Yamaguchi for 26 years and worked as an English teacher at a local middle school. I'm the proud grandmother of a 2-year-old girl and a 5-month-old boy. My hobbies are traveling, walking, and playing tennis. My love for travel was sparked by my homestay experiences in Scotland and California, USA. Living outside Japan taught me so much, but what I cherish most about my homestays was the 'weekend small trips'. I fondly recall the picturesque Highlands and a B&B in Scotland, where a kind elderly couple welcomed me warmly. During an overnight bus trip from California to Las Vegas, I was mesmerized by the breathtaking sunrise changing the sky brighter and brighter. Travel is special because of the small, soul-stirring moments. I love to travel and am happy to help others experience these wonderful moments too. Maintaining my mental and physical health is also a significant interest of mine. I’ve always liked playing tennis as this is a therapeutic sport for me and I can get so much stress As a morning person, my favorite routine taking a stroll in my neighborhood and giving a prayer at the local shrine sunny or rainy. I would love to show you around the relaxing local neighborhoods of Ube City!

Cindy O.
“ A Perfectly Planned Day We’ll Never Forget”
No tour guide could have put in more effort to ensure my family had the perfect day. We traveled in from Hiroshima by bullet train with two elderly parents, and Mari thought through every detail to make the experience seamless and comfortable. She greeted us at the station, accompanied us on the local train, arranged taxis, and made sure we never had to worry about logistics for a single moment. The day itself was beautifully curated—everything from the delicious soba served on traditional roof tiles to a peaceful Japanese tea experience, foot bath, and a visit to the stunning five-story pagoda at Ruriko-ji, one of Japan’s most beautiful and historic landmarks. Her warmth, attentiveness, and thoughtful planning made this one of our favorite days in all of Japan. We felt truly cared for every step of the way. I cannot recommend Mari highly enough—she is exceptional

I truly grateful to Cindy and her family. Thanks to Cindy’s thoughtful communication through emails regarding itinerary and her parents health issues and their favorite places to go and the time limit, I could manage to make up a detailed travel plan. And her family is such a warm hearted people . Only talking with them makes me feel so happy and relieved. I didn’t feel I met them for the first time. Honestly speaking, this tour was my first tour as a tour guide. Thanks to them, I didn’t get nervous at all. I was very happy all the time. I am the one who should be thanking them! I really appreciate Cindy and her family. I wish their happiness for ever! Many thanks, Mari

“Great 3 days”
I can not say enough good things about Michi. She was punctual,pleasant, and easy to understand. She was very knowledgeable about the city and how to get around it. We changed itineraries several times and she never blinked she was super Unfortunately she helped my wife find everything she wanted to buy. If you need an excellent guide who happens to be a nice person you can not go wrong with Michi

With lots of Love, Michi
