Explore small and charming Kurashiki
Explore Kurashiki, which is like a small but charming gem, still untouched by many tourists. The city is rich in history and culture and has a friendly atmosphere. We will visit several places including local shrine and temples, craft shops like pottery and blue jeans. (You know Kurashiki is the home of Japanese blue jeans. ) We can rest at charming cafe if you like.

Local Japanese Sake tasting at Kurashiki
In Japan, each local has its own Japanese Sake. The sake in Kurashiki is not widely known outside this area but very tasty thanks to its wonderful nature, good rice and water. Why don’t you explore these wonderful hidden Sake. After meeting we will walk to local place where you can try several local Japanese sake and appetizers. After that we will walk a little to explore evening view of this charming local city.

“Absolutely perfect!”
We had the pleasure of working with Mack as a private guide for two days for a group of very high-profile VIP clients. From the very first interaction, it was clear that Mack was an outstanding professional. His communication was impeccable — he asked all the right questions, was incredibly detail-oriented, and took full initiative in organizing and scheduling every part of this two-days program with us. This gave us immediate confidence that our clients would be in excellent hands. In the days leading up to the tour, Mack remained consistently attentive and responsive, ensuring that every detail was confirmed and customized to meet the clients’ preferences. He was proactive, thoughtful, and always one step ahead, which made coordination smooth and efficient for our entire team. During the tour itself, the clients were also very demanding and made several last-minute requests and changes to the itinerary. Mack handled every single situation with remarkable calm, flexibility, and professionalism. He adapted swiftly without missing a beat, and most importantly, he kept our team fully updated at all times. This level of communication and reliability was essential for us, especially when managing expectations for VIP guests. We are sincerely grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Mack, and we hope to collaborate with him again in the near future. It’s rare to find someone with such a perfect blend of organizational skill, adaptability, and genuine care for both clients and partners. Mack is a true asset to any travel experience.

“Perfect custom Tokyo tour & Haneda pickup!”
Our tour was excellent! From the start, our guide was professional, thoughtful, and great with communication. We exchanged information to develop our itinerary and our guide helped us at every step with planning and coordinating. Easy meet up at the airport, welcoming transportation to our first stop for which he anticipated and secured tickets for us early that morning! He also secured delicious dining reservations for us! We are so thankful to have Mack-san help us for this tour and look forward to returning for more tours with him in the future!

Dear Lily san!! Thank you for your heartfelt words for me. I was quite happy to have time with you and your family. Even though we had limited time I did my best to catch the best moment of Tokyo and I am very glad to know you enjoyed the tour. I hope I can see you and your family again to enjoy the different view of Japan. Please take care.

Hello! I'm Nao. I was born and raised in Himeji, which is famous for the Himeji Castle (egret castle). I'm guiding in Kyoto, Osaka, Nara and Hyogo (especially Kobe and Himeji). I'd been in the US for three years attending a university. During the stay I went to the Yellow Stone twice, and visited California. I took a summer French class for a month in Canada, so I speak French a little. I love travelling. I went to many places in Japan. I visited Hokkaido, Okinawa, Hiroshima, Kanazawa, Nikko, Mt. Fuji and so on. I love music ― pops, rock, gospel and classical music. I'm a fan of Beethoven. Some day I'd like to go to Vienna and visit his houses and the forest, where he composed "the Pastoral Symphony". There are lots of attractions in Japan. You can visit shrines, temples, deer park etc. You can enjoy USJ, river cruise, anime museum, Japanese sake, Onsen and of course delicious Japanese dishes. Let's have fun together !

Hi! Thanks for reviewing my profile. I am Australian, from Sydney originally but my life with Japan and its culture and history spans 30 odd years and I have been a Hiroshima resident for 18 of those 30 years. I joined GoWithGuide just recently but be assured I have led many tours in Hiroshima and more widely throughout metropolitan and regional Japan, sharing conversations about the unique society, its fascinating culture and history. I also have written several tourism blogs for inbound tour companies and also the Hiroshima Prefectural Tourism Bureau. I speak fluent Japanese and I have immersed myself in the experience of living here in modern and traditional culture and spent many years studying martial arts Aikido and Iaido. I also have a strong interest in Buddhist teachings. My Japanese calligraphy work over the years has been received recognition and several awards and commissions both in Japan and elsewhere. I'm looking forward to spending a great experience sharing the culture and history of Hiroshima with you.

I lived in Seattle, WA US for several years to study public policy and urban planning at University of Washington and Washington State Department of Transportation . The US life has awakened me to realize its beauty and value of the Japanese nature and culture. After coming back from US, I have started my professional career of the infrastructure development in both developed and developing countries as a Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) expert for more than 20 years. I have provided hospitality and honesty as a Japanese during my professional career. I can give you not only sightseeing tours but also technical tours with my expertise. I live in Osaka where an ancient capital city, Kyoto is located within a hour by train. I can show you how Japanese has developed the capital city with urban planning and infrastructure development. I look forward to seeing you here in Japan.
