Haruna H.

Your Local Storyteller in Nagasaki | History, Culture & Local Flavors. Hello! I'm a passionate local guide based in Nagasaki, a city with a uniquely rich history and a vibrant food culture. Having traveled to Australia, Guatemala, and Peru, I love meeting people from all over the world and sharing the magic of meaningful travel. Before settling in Nagasaki, I lived in historic Takayama, where I spent countless unforgettable moments walking the streets with travelers from diverse backgrounds and sharing local traditions. To me, guiding isn't just about showing top sights-it's about storytelling. I bring Nagasaki's fascinating history to life through its heritage, hidden spots, and mouthwatering local cuisine. Whether we are exploring historical landmarks or tasting local dishes together, my goal is to make you feel like you are exploring the city with a local friend. Let's walk through Nagasaki together and create stories you'll cherish forever!

Dominic W.

Konnichiwa, I'm Dom - nice to meet you! Originally from Switzerland, I fulfilled my dream of moving to Japan and now live in Kyoto. In addition to my daily Aikido training, I work as a private tour guide, offering personalized experiences of the city. Whether you're interested in one of the tours listed on my website or prefer a custom tour based on your interests, I’m here to help make your visit to Kyoto unforgettable. How did I end up in the Land of the Rising Sun? My fascination with Japan began in childhood and has only deepened over the years. I immersed myself in studying the country's culture and history, exploring countless books, and, according to my friends, was probably a bit too enthusiastic about it! I always knew that visiting Japan was inevitable, and it became a reality after I started training in Aikido, a traditional Japanese martial art. This journey brought me to Kyoto, where I completed a two-year intensive program to become an Aikido instructor. Having achieved that goal, I am now teaching while continuing to grow as an instructor, with the long-term vision of one day opening my own dojo. If you’re visiting my website, it means you share an interest in exploring Kyoto’s rich culture and history, an enthusiasm we have in common! I fell in love with Kyoto, and my goal is to help you experience the city in a way that will leave you as captivated by it as I am.

Shigeaki C.

I am a local guide based in Kobe, passionate about sharing the city’s unique blend of history, nature, good view and everyday culture. My tours focus on places that are often overlooked by visitors—old buildings, quiet shrines, traditional neighborhoods, and scenic nature that reveal the true character of Kobe. I enjoy guiding small groups and creating relaxed, friendly experiences where guests can learn, explore, and enjoy local life at their own pace. Whether we are walking through a tunnel of torii gates, visiting a historic Japanese house, enjoying a homemade Japanese lunch or other unique food, or exploring the peaceful nature-rich area, I aim to provide meaningful insights and warm hospitality. If you are looking for an authentic, local experience in Kobe, I would be delighted to guide you.

Akie S.

Hello, my name is Aki, and I’m a local guide based in Hiroshima. I mainly offer private tours of Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and Miyajima. At the Peace Memorial Park, I help guests understand why Hiroshima was selected as the target of the world’s first atomic bombing, what happened to the city and its people, and how Hiroshima rebuilt itself as a city dedicated to peace. On Miyajima Island, I can introduce you to the famous Itsukushima Shrine and the Great Torii Gate, which appears to float on the sea at high tide. I also enjoy taking guests to Daisho in Temple, a beautiful and peaceful temple at the foot of Mt. Misen. It is one of my favorite places on the island. I am also passionate about hiking and rock climbing. Over the years, I have traveled for climbing in New Zealand, the United States, France, Italy, Switzerland, India, and Australia, as well as at many locations throughout Japan. With more than 25 years of experience, I know a variety of mountains, hiking trails, and climbing areas around Hiroshima. Whether you are interested in history, culture, nature, or outdoor activities, I would be happy to help you discover Hiroshima at a comfortable pace. Please tell me about your interests, and let’s create a tour that suits you. I look forward to welcoming you to Hiroshima!

Hi, welcome to Japan! I'm an experienced travel advisor working out of Osaka, but new on GoWithGuide. I can be your guide, arrange your hotels, restaurants and transport, and give you practical advice on how to navigate this wonderful but sometimes confusing country.

Nelson O.

Originally from Brazil with a Bachelor’s degree in Tourism, I spent five years studying and working in Toronto, Canada, before moving to my wife’s hometown of Okinawa in 2017. Today, Okinawa is home, where we’re raising our two daughters. Over the years, I’ve grown to love Okinawa not just as a beautiful place, but as a place I truly call home. As a local guide, active diver, and surfer, I enjoy sharing the island I know and love with people from around the world. I believe the best experiences are more than simply visiting famous places. They’re about sharing stories, trying local food, discovering beautiful scenery, having a few laughs, and seeing Okinawa through the eyes of someone who lives here. I love connecting with people from different countries and, hopefully, turning a day together into a great memory—and sometimes even a lasting friendship. Whether you’re interested in Okinawa’s history, culture, nature, food, or simply want to explore at your own pace, I’ll create an experience around what you enjoy. I’ll take care of the details so you can relax, have fun, and enjoy your time on the island. Come explore Okinawa with me, share a few stories, and experience the island like a local. I hope you’ll leave not only with great memories of Okinawa, but also with a new friend.

Shigeki Y.

Hello! My name is Shigeki, and I live in Nara, Japan. Nara is one of the most historic places in Japan and was the country's first permanent capital over 1,300 years ago. As a local resident, I enjoy sharing the rich history, culture, traditions, and everyday life of this beautiful region with visitors from around the world. Many people know Nara for its friendly deer and famous temples, but there is much more to discover. I enjoy introducing guests to the deeper side of Nara, including Buddhism, traditional neighborhoods, local food, sake culture, and hidden places that many tourists miss. My goal is not only to show you the sights, but also to help you understand the stories, people, and culture behind them. I believe that travel becomes more meaningful when you can connect with local life and gain a deeper understanding of the places you visit. I strive to create tours that are friendly, flexible, and relaxed. Whether you are visiting Japan for the first time or returning to explore beyond the typical tourist attractions, I would be delighted to help you experience the authentic charm of Nara. I look forward to meeting you and sharing a memorable journey together!

Mark K.

I have been a fan of Japan since a very young age and decided to study International Business so I could experience living here for a year. I came back for more many times and decided I want to live here as long as I can. After spending 3-4 years in Tokyo it was only natural for me to share this wonderful place with other people!

Nozomi A.

Hello! My name is Nozomi. I am a Regional Licensed Guide Interpreter based in Toyama, covering the beautiful Hokuriku area. I am a unique blend of an outdoor enthusiast and a cultural researcher. For years, I have studied cultural anthropology and traditional crafts, with a deep interest in Japanese folklore and kimono culture. At the same time, my heart belongs to the mountains. I love trekking, hiking, skiing, and backcountry skiing. To me, Hokuriku is the ultimate destination because it offers the best of both worlds. When we hit the trails, I love engaging all five senses to truly connect with nature. I can accommodate activities ranging from beginner levels—using transport to enjoy the views—up to intermediate treks involving 2 hours of sweaty, active hiking. When we explore the towns, I love introducing you to local artisans who use centuries-old techniques to create modern art. My goal is for you to deepen your understanding of Japanese culture through our journey together. One of my favorite parts of guiding is chatting with guests to discover the fascinating cultural similarities and differences between our worlds. Whether you want to move your body in the great outdoors or enrich your mind through living traditions, I am excited to share my dual passions and show you the many faces of our region!

Akari U.

Hi, I'm Akari! Your local guide for Kamakura, Enoshima, and Yokohama. Before settling down in beautiful, historical Kamakura, I lived in Tokyo and Yokohama for over 10 years, giving me a deep understanding of both big-city energy and coastal charm—nestled between the ocean and mountains, which I love the most! As I used to teach Japanese, I love bridging cultural gaps and sharing the "Why" behind our customs and traditions. For me, guiding isn't just about hitting the famous sightseeing spots—it's about giving you those "Aha!" moments through our rich history and customs. As a local, I'm obsessed with exploring hidden gems outside the capital. Whether it's a quiet bamboo forest in Kamakura, a stunning sunset spot in Enoshima, or a cozy local cafe and eatery, I can't wait to share my favorite places with you. What I offer: ・Fully customized private tours tailored to your pace, interests, and curiosity. Feel free to send a message. Let’s make your Japan trip unforgettable. See you soon!

Yuriko O.

I have been working as an English-speaking tour guide across Tokyo, Wakayama, Osaka, Kyoto, and Nara, welcoming guests from around the world. I love sharing not only Japan’s history and culture, but also the small, everyday charms that make each place special. I always try to connect with each guest personally and create a warm, memorable experience—something that makes them smile. Currently, I am based in Wakayama, and I am also able to travel to Tokyo, where my family lives. I am flexible to guide in both Kansai and Tokyo areas. I look forward to creating special moments together.

Masa O.

I spent many years in the automotive industry and international consulting, including extensive time living and working in the United States. While I am very comfortable hosting business executives, I truly love sharing the "heart of Japan" with families and senior travelers. I enjoy making my tours feel like a walk with a knowledgeable friend—whether we are discussing the latest design trends or the deep history of a hidden temple. My goal is to bridge the gap between cultures with a smile, ensuring that every guest, from busy professionals to curious grandkids, feels welcome and inspired.

Kanae W.

Do you know Chiba? It’s right next to Tokyo. You might know it as the place where Narita International Airport is located… but actually, it’s way more than that. Chiba has beautiful, historic cities that are fun to walk around. It is also known as a peaceful suburban area where many people spend weekends. I really know how to enjoy them. I'm proud to be a government-licensed tour guide and local with a great passion for sharing the wonders of the cities of Japan. As I have spent more than 25 years of my life in the Chiba and Tokyo area, I'm quite familiar with many of the attractions the area has to offer. It never stops surprising people, including me, a long-time local, with its blend of traditional and modern elements. I hope you will feel that excitement as well. Moreover, with a great deal of knowledge about Japan and a good sense of humor, our journey should be full of interesting and enjoyable stories and conversations. As a working mother of a little boy, for example, I am quite familiar with current situations and traditional events related to families in Japan today. Please let me know if you are curious about anything during your trip. I would be happy to help. I am very happy and excited to meet you soon. Thank you. Arigatou gozaimasu!

Ondrej R.

Dear Travellers! My name is Ondrej and I have been living in Kyoto for six years. I’m currently conducting tours in English and Czech languages. My hometown is Prague, Czech Republic, but I have left it behind years ago to live in Japan forever. In my young years, I did a wide portfolio of various sports including soccer, futsal, skateboarding, cycling, boxing and athletics (both competition/ hobby level), so I can say that I am a sportsman. However, I reached my biggest successes at chessboard - playing the highest youth chess league of my country and finally attaining a chess coach licence. At the academic level, I studied Human Sciences combined with Natural Sciences at University. My primary goal is to satisfy your needs in a new city as for what you’d like to see. Based on a given venue, I focus on incorporating its meaning into a complete/ bigger picture of the whole culture and historical system. If you’re not sure, I’m always happy to build a convenient tour plan involving appropriate amount of walking and transfers. I have been raising my children in Kyoto for six years and realizing that traveling with children may sometimes be a challenge, I invite tours with children as well. I have experience working with and guiding people from all over the world. Kyoto is a precious Japanese artifact and it is filled with unique places and cultural values and heritages. Osaka offers a wide array of cultural meanings and cuisine delicacies, as well as hidden corners and pleasurable views. I also love to take my clients to cities of Nara and Uji as they are so important for understanding the core of Japanese soul. Please contact me to book, customize or just inquire regarding tours. Once you are ready, we can discuss which of yours or mines favorite places we visit. Until then, have a good day and travel safe wherever you go.
