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.

Chie W.

I was born in Hyogo Prefecture, raised in Osaka, and have also lived in Oita and Yamanashi Prefectures. I've visited almost all areas west of Tokyo. I can offer many suggestions for the Kansai region (Kyoto, Osaka, Nara, Kobe), and recently I've been taking a cycling trip along the Shimanami Kaido from Ehime to Hiroshima every six months. I can help you plan a fun and uniquely Japanese trip, including delicious food, a visit to Katsuoji Temple in my hometown of Minoo, temple hopping, other activities, and pottery making. Please feel free to contact me.

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.

Mio I.

KONICHIWA!! I am Mio! I was born and raised in Hyogo Prefecture, and I moved to Fukuoka about a year and a half ago. Since I moved here, I have been working as a tour leader, guiding Japanese travelers to beautiful destinations across Kyushu, including Fukuoka, Kumamoto, Miyazaki, Kagoshima, and Saga Prefectures. Through my job, I've had the opportunity to discover many amazing places and experience the unique culture of each region. Personally, I think Fukuoka has the best food in Japan! If you'd like to explore places beyond the typical tourist attractions and experience authentic local life, I'd love to be your guide. On my tours, we'll visit hidden gems that are still unknown to most international visitors, where you can meet local people and enjoy authentic experiences. And if you're a big foodie, you definitely have to visit the Munakata area of Fukuoka! It's home to incredibly fresh seafood and wonderful restaurants that many tourists never get the chance to discover.

Shohei T.

Hi, I’m Shohei — a professional guitarist, singer, and private guide based in Kyoto! I was born in Japan but grew up in the city called Dublin, Ohio. My family moved there when I was 4yrs old because of my father’s was in the automotive industry. My passion for acoustic guitar led me to Boston, where I studied at Berklee College of Music. Since graduating in 2008, I’ve worked professionally as a musician, performing and teaching around the world and receiving several international awards in the acoustic fingerstyle guitar genre. In 2012, I fulfilled a long-held dream and moved back to Japan. I’ve called Kyoto home ever since. I started working as a guide in 2019, and I quickly discovered how much I enjoy sharing Japan with people from around the world. My passion for guiding was also inspired by the opportunity to accompany internationally renowned guitarists during their tours and workshops in Japan. I especially love exploring Kyoto’s temples and shrines and sharing the stories behind them. Rather than simply explaining what you see, I enjoy discussing how Buddhism, Shinto, and other traditions have shaped Japanese culture and everyday life. I also love Kyoto’s castles, palaces, gardens, traditional neighborhoods, and art. Having grown up in both Japan and the United States, I naturally have perspectives from both sides. I enjoy sharing cultural differences and helping guests understand not only what Japanese people do, but why. Most of all, I love meeting people, sharing stories, and discovering Kyoto together. Whether you want to explore famous landmarks, find hidden gems, dive deeper into Japanese history and culture, or simply enjoy a relaxed day in Kyoto, I’d be happy to show you around. If you don’t see a tour that fits your interests, feel free to message me. I’m always happy to create a private, custom experience for you! I look forward to meeting you and exploring Kyoto together!

Tomoki M.

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.

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!

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.

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!

Sachiko I.

Hello! I’m Sachi, a local guide in Hiroshima. My goal is to make your trip as smooth and enjoyable as possible.

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. I can’t wait to welcome you to Hiroshima and help make your time here truly memorable!

Kazunori O.

Hello! I’m Kazunori. I’ve been guiding visitors around Kyoto for the past two years. So far, I’ve guided more than 30 groups. Many guests have told me I should become a professional guide, and their kind reviews encouraged me to join GoWithGuide. I know Kyoto very well, especially Arashiyama and the Higashiyama area, including Kiyomizu-dera. My goal is to help you enjoy Japan so much that you’ll want to come back again. I’ll be happy to share Kyoto’s history, food culture, and traditions in a simple and enjoyable way. I look forward to meeting you and showing you the beauty of Kyoto!

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!
