Hello, everyone!! My name is Yukihiro(行博), call me "HERO". I'm eager to introduce this unique country, Japan to foreign guests. I am not a professional interpreter. I have retired from Japan Ground Self-Defense Force(JGSDF=Japanese Army) on March 2018.
大家好！ 我名字叫xing2 bo2, 請叫我xing bo。我喜歡跟外國遊客分享這個很有意思的國家---日本國。我是個業餘的翻譯導遊, 不太專業, 在2018年3月我退休了日本陸上自衛隊（日本陸軍）。
I have spent most of my career as a Army NCO(Non-commissioned officer) . My job experiences are only in the military, but there are variety of specialties, so I didn't feel boredom. I lived in many places all over Japan, such as Hokkaido 10years, Chiba 15years, Okinawa 8years and more places.
我在軍隊當陸軍士官過了大部分的生活。我的工作經驗只在軍隊內，但是它有很多兵種和工作，所以我沒有膩了。我住過日本各地的很多地方，例如北海道１０年，千葉縣１５年，沖繩８年還有別的有些地方。
I am working for the half of month as a tour-conductor in Okinawa Japan. Rest of month, I live in Nagasaki Prefecture, and work as a Triple Lights interpreter tour guide.
我一邊在沖繩當旅遊服務員大概半個月，一邊在九州長崎當Triple Lights的翻譯導游工作剩餘的月。
I am registered as a Okinawa prefectural interpreter tour guide (English & Chinese), but don't have a whole Japan area certification. So I am brushing my skill up to get it.
我登記了沖繩縣的地域翻譯導遊（英／中文），可是沒有全國的。所以為了獲得全國導遊資格，我正在繼續學外語。
I speak English, Chinese (simplify & traditional) , no problem to guide you, not like a native though.
我會說英語和中文(簡／繁)，作為您的導游沒問題，沒有母語的人那麼好。
I'm very flexible. If you inform me early enough, about 1 week or at least 72 hours and more beforehand, I may manage to accept your requests.
During the tour, my coverage areas are mainly poor public transportation areas, so mostly use a private vehicle(4 adult guests Max), it is easy to travel and free to move. You can connect personal hotspot free connection and AC100V/DC5V, and DC12V chargers are available in my car. I don't charge for the vehicle operation (only request the parking and the toll-road fees on site, if used).
The private vehicle can take 4 adult guests max. If you are 5 adults and more, you need to rent a car. I have a professional driver's license; I can drive most types of vehicles. Depending on the number of customers, I will rent a suitable size car and drive instead of you during the tour. I drive as a designated driver. In this case, you must pay for all rental car costs (Rental fee, insurance, refuel, toll road, parking fee, etc.).
My coverage areas are Nagasaki, Saga, and Fukuoka prefecture. But I live near Omura city in Nagasaki pref., so depending on where I meet you(meet-up), I will request you to pay the Meet-up fee(real transportation cost to and from the meeting spot) in cash on site. It showed 3,500 JPY on my pricing page. But the meet-up fee will be different based on the transportation fee from where I stay. Before booking, I will inform you of the meet-up fee in your proposal tour plan.
Here are the basic meet-up fees for each area, Ohmura city is 1,000 JPY, Sasebo city is 2,000JPY, Nagasaki city is 3,500JPY, Saga is 6,000JPY, and Fukuoka is 9,000JPY. I will try to choose the cheapest way, but I may not accept your tour request if the meet-up fee costs more than 9,000 JPY. But if you don't care high meet-up fee (more than 9,000JPY), I go anywhere as far as I can.
I work in both Nagasaki and Okinawa, working in 2 places for about half and half days a month. I have lived in Okinawa for over ten years and am qualified and registered as an Okinawa Prefectural interpreter tour guide.
On my schedule calendar, available days mean that I stay in Nagasaki; on the contrary, unavailable days mean I am in Okinawa(mostly), so I might be able to guide you in Okinawa. If you intend to have a private tour in Okinawa, please visit my other account page of GoWithGuide(Okinawa area); there is another job schedule calendar there.
We engaged Hero for a 4-day tour of the Goto islands, to see hidden Christian sites and churches. Hero was responsive in planning the tour and answering our questions. He also made all the transport arrangements (ferry, rental car, boat) and accommodation bookings so that we could visit all the churches as planned. On the tour itself he was energetic and ensured that we were well taken of, often until the evening and dinner time. He was also careful to keep his personal costs reasonable as this was a private tour. He was able to converse well in English and enthusiastic to share his knowledge about the various hidden Christian sites. As it’s not convenient to visit the sites on the Goto islands without knowledge of Japanese, we recommend engaging Hero for a fun and interesting tour.
Dear Rey and Siu, Thank you very much for your high evaluation for my guiding tour. I've been so comfortable to guide you during this 4 days as if we're friends. I am so appreciated that. Take care and have a safe trip to your home, and see you in the near future in Japan again. Best regards, Hero
Yukihiro hat uns pünktlich am Kreuzfahrtterminal abgeholt und uns einen wunderschönen Tag in Nagasaki geschenkt - fernab der Touristenpfade - was unserem Wunsch entsprach - hat er uns spannende Orte, Plätze und Menschen vorgestellt. Immer wieder gerne mit ihm. Danke Yukihiro
Dear Dteterd, Thank you very much for your high evaluation. I couldn't understand Germany
Hero was very knowledgeable and very pleasant. He was really enjoyable. We would definitely use him again.
Dear Stan, Thank you very much for your great review of me. I also enjoyed the tour with you. I tasted Lilikoi Butter this morning, and it was really delicious butter, I like it. My mom also tried and she liked it. I didn't know what Lilikoi Butter is. Now I knew it is made of passion fruits and butter, I have learned about Hawaii little bit. I hope to visit Hawaii in the near future. Give my best regards to your wife and friends. Hero
Hero tailor made a fantastic 4 day tour visiting Christian Churches on four islands. We had an amazing time and saw everything we wanted. Hero booked great hotels and found really nice places to eat for lunch and supper. Meals would have been difficult otherwise due to the lack of English. We were so lucky that Hero was available when we came to Japan because without him we would have seen very little of these stunning places. The scenery is breathtaking and the people so friendly.
Dear Rosemary and Peter, Thank you very much for your great review of my Goto tour, and the fancy Royal mug cup. This was my first Goto 4day tour. I'd done the Goto 3 day tour last year already, 4 day tour is the first experience. I wanted you to visit all 4 components of the World Heritage in Goto islands, but I couldn't realize one of them. I am sorry for that. As for the weather, the 1st day was fine, the 2nd day was cloudy, the third day was rain, and the 4th day was excellent. Weather was relatively good. Please take care of your self, and enjoy your tour in Okayama. Best regards Hero
