Hello. Thank you for your interest in Japan. I am a tour guide living in central Tokyo area. My hobby is travel, taking photos, watching sports, etc. I have visited more than thirty countries on business or vacation. While I was in overseas countries, I encountered a lot of troubles.

We had the opportunity to tour Tokyo with Toshihiro, and it was an enjoyable experience. His approach was both respectful and considerate, and he shared fascinating insights about each place we visited. The explanations were clear and engaging, with just the right touch of humor to keep things light. It was a pleasure to explore the city with someone thoughtful and knowledgeable. Recommended for anyone looking for a pleasant tour of Tokyo.

Thank you for the fantastic tour review, Georg-san. This tour was done as your first visit to Japan. But I was surprised as you had a lot of knowledge about Japanese culture and history, especially Samurai system like swords and Shogun. It was a good experience for me to make conversation with you and explain each place we visited. I could get deeper insights on Japanese history. I know you are still in Japan for more than weeks. Enjoy the rest of the tour.

Thank you for the wonderful tour review, Jared-san. This Tokyo tour was done just the next day you had arrived. You must have suffered terrible jet lag. But you were enthusiastic to be familiar with Japanese life style. I appreciate your travel style. Please come to Japan again in the near future.

Hello everyone! I was born and raised in Kawagoe, a historic city next to Tokyo in Saitama. Two years ago, I graduated from a university in Japan, and now I work as a tour guide and study abroad support advisor. Three years ago, I had the opportunity to study abroad in Vancouver, Canada. During my time there, I was warmly welcomed by the locals, and I discovered the joy of immersing myself in a new culture and daily life. I also learned the value and excitement of connecting with people from different backgrounds. That’s why I now want to be the one to support others. As a guide, I aim to make your journey even more special! Through Go with Guide, I want to offer more than just the typical sightseeing experience—I want to provide unique opportunities for you to dive deeper into Japan’s rich culture. I am committed to creating a safe, thoughtful, and enjoyable experience for everyone. Let’s not just visit Japan—let’s feel it. Join me on an unforgettable journey, and together, let’s embrace the true beauty of Japan! I look forward to meeting you!

Born and bred in Tokyo I am still living in the suburbs of Tokyo. I spent several years in the U.S. and the UK and wanted to show international visitors around Japan in return for the hospitality I had received in foreign countries. After coming back from the UK, I obtained the qualification of the National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter. I can guide guests to every corner of Tokyo including areas off the beaten track. As a history fan I can tell you a historical episode behind the scenes. From a local perspective I can explain how we Japanese are getting along. Since I have science and technology backgrounds, I can give you a tour of scientific or technical things as well..
