“Tokyo in monsoonal rain”
Whilst Naoko is a lovely individual her English skills are only average. She was extremely willing, brought us umbrellas as the weather was monsoonal, but she is not a tour guide and was unable to adequately talk about Japan, its customs and traditions, its history or culture. She offered us a rebate as we cut the tour short by almost 50% but we have received nothing.

Hi, Nicola Thank you for your mail. Do you enjoy cruising around Japan? I am sorry not to explain fully about Japan. I think I will refund 40 % if you want refund for the tour? Thanks, NAOKO

“pleasant and informative”
I had a very nice day with Naoko around Tokyo. she is very friendle and knowledgable with excellent English! I would not have been able to fir in quite so much had I not had a guide and navigating the transport system with ease! Although we missed out visiting the palace fromn the itinerary we still had a wonderful day. Throughout the process Naoko was helpful and willing to customise to my requirements. I highly recommend her!

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.
