About Tour Guide Ai M.
Hello! Thank you so much for your interest in having me as your tour guide.
I have guided over 200 tourists for the past years, as a guide of the bar hopping tours, hidden gems tours, and private tours. "Tokyo Hidden Gems", a community I made has over 400 members.
I have been fortunate enough to have opportunities to visit 33 out of 47 prefectures in Japan since I was a child, thanks to my parents who are passionate travelers, which has raised my interests in traveling and let me work in the tourism industry after graduation. I have experiences of working at a stylish hostel, and at the largest travel agency in Japan.
As one of the young tour guides, I can show you not only historical spots but also trendy spots based on the subculture of ordinary young Japanese people.
I love art, design, fashion, vintage clothing, taking photos with my film camera, and coffee.
If you are looking for someone who knows well about good vintage clothing stores/ cozy cafes, or interested in traveling throughout Japan, please feel free to let me know!

“Tokyo Part 2”
After a great first evening trip with Ai, she excelled again on Day 2 with a full day tour across some highlights of Tokyo, with the flexibility to change things at a moment’s notice. One of the best tours we’ve ever had. Thank you again. GoWithGuide = GoWithAi

“A great first day in Shinjuku. ”
As first time visitors to Japan, planning a trip can be a bit daunting. In planning the trip, I was impressed by previous reviews for Ai so asked if she was available to offer an introduction to Shinjuku on our first day; something that would suit a family of four, from 15, 19 to 50’s. Ai delivered a fantastic tour for a few hours around Shinjuku. She kept things interesting for all of us and showed us places and bars/restaurants that we’d never have found on our own. A superb start to our trip. Thank you Ai.

“Shinjuku, Harajuku, Shibuya highlights Tokyo tour!”
After traveling In Tokyo Japan and all around Thailand with a number of different Guides with My wife and I and our 2 kids ages 12 and 15 we have decided that our most memorable tour was with Ai. She was very flexible and met us in the lobby of our hotel to start our tour. Before we headed out for the day she asked us if there were any areas of interest or stops other than the ones we had already planned with her. During the day she was able to answer all of questions and was very knowledgable of the places we toured. With Ai 's help were also able to get quite a bit of family pictures. We had also picked out a popular lunch spot for sushi in which she booked a reservation for that we were unaware that a reservation would be necessary. The waiting time was very long when we arrived but we were able to walk right in to our table. Our family also enjoyed the snake cafe, Senso ji Temple , shopping ,government building with views and experiencing the train system with her knowledge of the routes and ticketing process. Just cant say enough about her pleasant personality it was a tour of a lifetime that I and my Family will never forget. Sincerely, The Statham family

Thank you for your heartwarming review! It was a pleasure guiding you through Tokyo and I'm thrilled that you enjoyed the tour. Your kind words about my assistance and knowledge mean a lot to me. I'm glad the sushi reservation and our time at Senso-ji Temple and on the trains were memorable! Your feedback motivates me to provide the best experiences for my guests going foward. Thank you again for choosing me as your guide! Warm regards, Ai

Hello everyone! I was born and raised in Kawagoe, a charming historic city located just next to Tokyo in Saitama Prefecture. Two years ago, I graduated from university here in Japan, and I now work as both a tour guide and a study abroad support advisor. Three years ago, I had the life-changing opportunity to study abroad in Vancouver, Canada. The warmth and hospitality of the locals left a deep impression on me. I discovered the joy of immersing myself in a new culture and way of life, and I truly came to appreciate the beauty of connecting with people from diverse backgrounds. Now, I want to be the one offering that kind of experience to others. As your guide, my goal is to make your journey in Japan truly special. Through GoWithGuide, I strive to go beyond typical sightseeing—I want to create meaningful opportunities for you to engage with Japan’s rich culture and traditions on a deeper level. I’m committed to providing a safe, thoughtful, and unforgettable experience for every guest. Let’s not just visit Japan—let’s feel Japan. Join me on this unique journey, and together, let’s discover the heart and soul of this incredible country. I look forward to meeting you soon! Depending on your tour and needs, my teammates Kei and Ethan may also join to help ensure the best experience.

Hello, I'm Yoshi!! I started my second career as a tour guide after retiring from the Japanese computer company I had worked for about 40 years. I was born in Asakusa and grew up in down town in Tokyo. I’m married with two daughters and three grandchildren, two girls and a boy. I've experienced guiding international visitors in Tokyo and other famous sightseeing spots as a guide for several years. I will be so happy to help you enjoy your stay in Japan. Look forward to joining my tour!!

Hello! My name is Ken (Kenichi), and I’m a professional tour guide with experience guiding over 1,500 foreign tourists as of February 2025. I have worked for both Japanese and international companies in Tokyo for over 30 years, giving me deep insight into the city and its unique charm. I also love traveling and have explored many famous destinations in Japan as well as in 40+ countries worldwide. I fully understand the challenges that many first-time travelers face when visiting Japan, especially in a busy city like Tokyo. My goal is to provide you with a fully customized, time-efficient tour that meets your needs and preferences. Since most travelers have limited time and want to visit as many places as possible, I carefully plan tours that highlight the best spots and the most efficient routes, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience. For added comfort and luxury, I offer the option of using a car with an experienced driver (my wife), making your tour even more convenient and stress-free. I look forward to guiding you and helping make your visit to Japan truly memorable.
