Chiu M.

Hello, and welcome to Japan! My name is Chiu, and I’m a British national who has been living in Japan for over a decade. During that time, Japan has become much more than simply a place where I live and work. It has become a country I’ve explored, experienced, and grown to truly appreciate. For more than 12 years, I worked as an Assistant Language Teacher in Japanese public schools, working with both elementary and junior high school students. This gave me the opportunity to work closely with Japanese teachers, students, and local communities, while also giving me a unique perspective on everyday life in Japan that visitors don't normally get to experience. I enjoy sharing the things that make Japan fascinating beyond the obvious tourist attractions. Tokyo has incredible temples, shrines, shopping districts, skyscrapers, and famous landmarks, but I also enjoy the smaller details—the history behind a neighborhood, the stories behind Japanese traditions, discovering great local food, and simply experiencing everyday life in Japan. What can I show you? Whether this is your first visit to Tokyo or you've been here before, I’m happy to create a tour around your interests. First time in Tokyo? We can explore some of the city's famous sights, historic areas, temples, and shrines while learning about the stories behind them. Love Japanese food? Let's explore Tokyo's food scene and discover some of the dishes and local spots that make Japanese cuisine so special. Most importantly, I want my tours to feel less like following a script and more like spending a day exploring Japan with a knowledgeable local friend. I'm happy to answer questions, adjust the pace, and tailor the experience to what you want to see and do. If you're coming to Japan, I'd love to help make your trip memorable and show you a side of Japan that you'll want to come back and experience again!

Tomomi S.

Hi, My name is Tomomi. I am purely Japanese. I grew up in Morioka, Iwate Prefecture. Morioka is a hidden gem for tourism, ranked second on The New York Times' list of "52 Places to Go in 2023." I want many people to visit this town I love so much and leave with happy memories. I offer not only guided of historically famous sites and castle towns but also services such as interpretation for sake brewery tours etc. I also offer guide services for nearby areas such as Hachimantai and Shizukuishi, as well as for Aomori and Akita, so please feel free to consult me about anything. I look forward to meeting you all.

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!

Akira Y.

Hi there, I'm Akira. — welcome to Japan! Born and raised in Yokohama, I've spent my entire career helping people communicate and connect: first as an English conversation instructor and teacher trainer, then as Head of the Education Department, and eventually as Director and CEO of a language school. What does that mean for you as my guest? It means easy to understand English communication, a warm and patient guiding style, and genuine, engaging conversation throughout the day — not just a list of facts and dates. I love sharing the stories behind what you see: the history, the culture, everyday life, and how Japan continues to change today. Having worked extensively in Tokyo and lived my whole life in and around Yokohama, I know this region inside and out — from the iconic landmarks to the quiet local spots most visitors never find on their own. Every tour I offer can be fully customized to match your interests, walking pace, and curiosity, whether that's history, food, photography, or simply a relaxed day of exploring. I can't wait to share my hometown and the wider Kanagawa area with you. Let's make your trip to Japan unforgettable!

Arun H.

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. My tours here only include guiding, but if you want more services, just tell me. I'm Indian of origin but have found the love of my life in Japan years ago, and I now live in Osaka with my wife and our three lovely children.

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.

Toshiki O.

Hello! I'm Toshi, a travel lover from Tochigi. I love traveling and have been lucky enough to visit over 40 countries so far. One of the best parts of traveling is meeting local people, and I've been helped by so many kind people around the world. That's one of the reasons I wanted to become a guide. I'd love to help visitors enjoy Japan the same way local people helped me during my travels! I also enjoy talking with people from different countries. I'm always interested in hearing your travel stories, your culture, and what surprised you about Japan, etc. Another thing I love is food. Whether it's famous local dishes or small restaurants that only locals know, I'm always happy to share my favorite places. Let's have fun together! If you're looking for a relaxed, friendly tour with a local, I'd be happy to show you around. Hope to see you in Japan!

Hablo español, japonés e inglés. Nací en Argentina pero he trabajado toda mi vida para el Gobierno Japonés así como para compañías japonesas. Guiar es mi pasión y mi prioridad es brindarte información para que puedas disfrutar y cada excursión quede en tu memoria como un recuerdo felíz de tu viaje a Japón. ENGLISH I speak Spanish, Japanese, and English. I was born in Argentina but have worked my whole life for the Japanese Government as well as for Japanese companies.

Miki K.

Hello! I’m Miki, a local English-speaking guide born and raised in Nikko. I believe the most memorable journeys aren’t defined by how many famous places you visit, but by the people you meet, the stories you hear, and the atmosphere you experience along the way. Having traveled to more than 20 countries myself, I’ve always been drawn to experiences that reveal the true heart of a place rather than simply its highlights. Those journeys have shaped the way I guide today. When I’m not guiding around Nikko, you’ll often find me in kimono, working as one of the townspeople at Edo Wonderland. It gives me a unique perspective on the history, culture, and everyday life of the Edo period—one that I love sharing with my guests. I’d love to help you discover a different side of Nikko and create a journey that reflects your interests, curiosity, and travel style. My goal is simple: to help you experience Japan through its stories, its people, and the moments that make a journey truly unforgettable. I hope that you’ll leave feeling not like you simply visited Nikko, but like you truly connected with its spirit and became part of its story, even just for a day.

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!

Together, we’ll explore Hiroshima’s famous landmarks as well as hidden local spots at a comfortable, unhurried pace. I’m deeply passionate about my home town's rich history, vibrant food scene, and beautiful scenery, and I love creating customized itineraries tailored to your unique interests.

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!

Robert B.

Welcome all! My name is Robert, and I’ve lived in Japan for over 20 years here in Tochigi Prefecture, the home of Nissan performance heritage and some of the most beautiful driving roads in Japan. This experience was created from two passions: the Nissan Fairlady Z and the incredible scenery, culture, and atmosphere of Nikko. Most visitors only see Nikko in a rush as a crowded day trip from Tokyo. I wanted to create something different. A slower, more immersive experience where guests can truly feel the mountains, the roads, the atmosphere, and the spirit of Japan from behind the wheel of an iconic Japanese sports car. Our flagship car is the Nissan Fairlady Z NISMO, built here in Tochigi and designed to connect driver and road in a way very few modern cars can. This is not a race. It’s not about speed. It’s about the feeling of driving through the cedar roads of Nikko, climbing Irohazaka, discovering hidden places, enjoying local food, and experiencing Japan in a more personal and unforgettable way. For guests joining the 5-person group experience, the goal is simple: great roads, great scenery, great conversation, and memories you will never forget. Whether you are a lifelong car enthusiast or simply curious about Japanese car culture, I hope this experience becomes one of the highlights of your time in Japan. Feel the Mountain Spirit!

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.
