Japanese Tour Guides - page 13

Ki M.

Hi! I’m Ki — your overly excited, always-curious, and sometimes accidentally funny Japan guide. I guide in Kanagawa, Yokohama, and Tokyo. I’m not just a guide — I’m also a photographer and video creator, which means two things: 1. You’ll get great photos of your trip, 2. And I’ll probably say “Wait! The light here is amazing!” at least three times a day. I guide in English, Japanese, and Chinese, so whether you’re asking “Where should we eat?”, “这是什么？”, or “どう行けばいいですか？” — I’ve got you covered! My tours are friendly, relaxed, and full of little surprises. I love showing travelers not only the famous spots, but also the cozy corners and hidden gems that make Japan special. Families, couples, solo travelers… everyone is welcome! I’m naturally optimistic, always smiling, and I truly believe the best part of any trip is the fun we don’t plan. My goal is simple: Make your day in Japan easy, fun, and memorable — with lots of laughter along the way. If you want a cheerful, flexible guide who can translate your cravings into real food, help you navigate the trains, and take great photos of you — I’m here! Let’s explore Japan together — one snack, one photo, and one “Ooh that’s cute!” at a time.

Fuji S.

Hello I am Fuji. I am living in Kyoto city for more than 30years and a certified guide of Kyoto city. I have an appreciation for nature and culture, which leads me to explore the outdoors through hiking and occasionally visit temples and shrines to experience the history and traditions. Also, I truly enjoy meeting new people and learning from their stories. I look forward to sharing my love for nature, culture, and travel with visitors. Let’s explore the wonders of the Kyoto city together.

Ei-chan N.

My nickname is Ei-chan, and I’m a licensed English-speaking driver-guide in Japan. I live in Kobe. I love sharing Japanese culture, history, and everyday life with people from around the world. I drive my own comfortable minivan, which is perfect for small groups and families. With it, we can travel safely and smoothly while exploring beautiful places off the beaten path. Before becoming a guide, I worked as a teacher, so I enjoy explaining things clearly and making learning fun. During our tour, I’ll do my best to make your trip both informative and enjoyable, filled with local stories, humor, and warm hospitality. Please feel free to ask me anything about Japan—its traditions, food, or daily life. Let’s enjoy a wonderful journey together and create unforgettable memories!

Mikhail B.

Hello, my name is Mikhail. I’ve been living in Japan for three years. I studied here, learned the language to JLPT N1 level, and became deeply familiar with the culture and everyday life. I speak English fluently and worked as a guide for a Japanese company for one year, mainly with English-speaking travelers. I truly love Japan — especially Tokyo, a city I know not just by its landmarks but also by its unique atmosphere. I enjoy sharing my knowledge and passion, guiding people through both famous sights and hidden local spots that most visitors never see. I love meeting new people and believe that every tour should feel personal, fun, and memorable.

Experience Kolkata Like a Local! Join me on a journey through the heart of Kolkata, guided by someone who calls this vibrant city home. As a local, I don’t just show you the famous landmarks — I take you into the hidden alleys, bustling markets, and lesser-known corners that only locals know. Whether it's culture, food, history, or everyday life, you'll experience the real Kolkata in a way that guidebooks simply can’t offer.

Simon F.

Hello! My name is Simon. I’m a composer who recently moved from London to Kyoto. For many years I've been guiding sound walks and recording the unique sounds of places all over the world. Here in Kyoto, I offer tours where we slow down, walk together, and discover the city through its sounds — from temple bells and riversides to quiet backstreets. In a city where every visitor seeks the perfect photograph, I’m learning that Kyoto is often kindest to those who listen instead. I look forward to sharing this unique way of exploring the city with you! Message me if you have any questions or would like to book a customised sound walk.

Charley S.

Konnichiwa - - - Charley here. Originally, I grew up in Los Angeles and San Diego for the first quarter century of my life. In 2000, I moved to Aichi Prefecture, Japan. One of my main goals was to play music with Japanese musicians, particularly in the underground music scene, which I've been a part of throughout my life. Also, I wanted to enjoy and explore the beauty of living in a foreign country. I've been living here for 25 years, and can gladly say that I have been engaged thoroughly in both of those goals. Since the beginning of moving to Japan, I've always chosen to hang out and engage with Japanese people as opposed to other foreigners. I often find myself in izakaiyas and concert events where I am the only foreigner, but fortunately I am on good terms with the staff and other customers. So if you are looking to see the less touristy aspects of Japan, please feel free to get in touch with me and I would love to share what I have come to appreciate about Japan. Cheers !

Takanori K.

I was born and raised in Kagawa, but I also spent several years living abroad, including in the United States, so I’m fluent in English. I can share a wide range of insights about Kagawa—from its history and culture to great photo spots, delicious local food, and fun trivia you won't find in guidebooks. Let me be your guide and make your journey truly unforgettable!

Yumiko O.

Hello, my name is Yumiko, and I am a licensed tour guide based in Japan. It is my pleasure to share the beauty of Japan with travelers from all over the world. I have guided many visitors through Tokyo, Kamakura, Hakone, and other famous destinations, as well as hidden gems that only locals know. My goal is always to create a tour that is not only informative but also enjoyable and personalized to your interests. With a warm and flexible guiding style, I love helping guests discover Japan’s traditions, history, and everyday life. Whether you are interested in temples and shrines, delicious local food, or simply strolling through charming streets, I will do my best to make your time in Japan unforgettable. I am excited to announce that I have started offering tours in Odawara! Odawara is a historic castle town located just an hour from Tokyo, famous for its impressive Odawara Castle, beautiful views of both the sea and mountains, and its role as the gateway to Hakone. In addition to exploring the castle and tasting local specialties such as fresh seafood and kamaboko (fish cakes), you can also enjoy many Instagram-worthy spots, from the scenic coastline to charming traditional houses that give a glimpse of Japan’s past. Odawara is still less crowded compared to other popular destinations, so it’s a great time to visit. I look forward to welcoming you and creating wonderful memories together!

I am an enthusiastic person with excellent communication and listening skills. I love history and culture and am always looking for interesting places to visit. I am punctual, have planning skills and a problem-solving approach that always puts the client first.

Gary S.

As an inbound tour guide and outbound tour leader, I have had the honor of serving guests from over 56 countries. I specialize in both private tours and bus higaeri (one-day) tours for Japanese local tourism services. I am also proud to be a 5-star-reviewed tour guide on other platforms. I speak Japanese, English, Mandarin, and Cantonese—skills I developed during my long-term career as a project manager in international joint ventures requiring multilingual and cross-cultural communication. This enables me to interact smoothly with tourists from regions such as Taiwan, Hong Kong (SAR), and mainland China, as long as we share a common language like English. In addition, I’m currently studying French, Spanish, Italian, and German to deepen my understanding of diverse cultures and enhance the experience I provide. I believe in the importance of omoiyari—the Japanese concept of empathy and consideration—an essential trait cultivated through personal growth, social experience, and professional challenges. I always strive to stand in my guests' shoes and provide thoughtful, personalized service. I also bring a sense of humor and optimism to my work, guided by a strong belief in the power of trust, shaped by my interest in Buddhism, Shintoism, and Protestant Christianity. In August 2024, I joined my first Heiro tour led by Japanese trainers, a couple who became certified Heiro masters after completing the practice 11 times. This experience enriched both my spiritual perspective and cultural understanding.

I am fascinated by the rich history and culture of the city of Nagasaki and the surrounding area and I take great pleasure in introducing people to what is one of the most unique locations in the world. It is a place of dreams, ambitions, tragedies, resilience and physical beauty. As a resident of Nagasaki for over 40 years and a professor at a university, I have had decades of experience guiding foreign guests around the city and other locations near the city. I have also guided my Japanese students on cultural trips to the U.S., Canada and the U.K. around 20 times.
