About Tour Guide Andy kenji M.

Hi!! I'm YOUNG!! Yup, a guide that is not old hahaha. Well not that young.

41 years old: still have energy & vigour and havent lost my marbles hahah.

I'm half Japanese & half Australian and I've been a trilingual tour guide for 6yr

(I'm new to this site but, I have 2 tours that have won many international awards on the biggest review website in the world)

I love to show my unique perspective of Japan and share incredible & unforgettable experiences with friends, family and tourists.

My rule is if you don't enjoy my tour, you don't pay!!

I have a deep understanding of the inner workings (both history & food) of these areas after living more than 12 years here.

I have amassed a huge amount of knowledge of the back alleys and hidden gems of the Kansai area (Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, Kobe ) ...so much so locals are even shocked & amazed.

By giving you a truly, unique, amazing insider experience... I hope that my tour will be the absolute highlight of your Japan stay:)

Interesting tour in the center of Osaka

Actually we didn't do the tour with Andy as he was seek and he proposed us to go with another guide, Taka. As it was very late in the evening (around 10 pm) before the tour day when Andy wrote me he got a cold which is fully understandable. He recommended us Taka and arranged the meeting. Coming to the tour Taka did a good job showing us the landmarks in the centre of Osaka and also other places according to our interests. We really appreciated his understanding of our interests and the way he made a flexible tour. I rate this tour (only) good because I expected more from the tour and from GoWithGuide in terms of value of the tour (price/ quality). Even now, I'm not sure what I'm actually reviewing : the tour with Taka or the tour with Andy.

Welcome to my world of Small-group Private Walking Tours in Kyoto, Kobe, and Osaka, Japan! Each tour is meticulously designed to showcase the local area, ensuring an unforgettable experience for all. Get ready for an adventure of a lifetime! Below are just a few tantalizing samples of tours I have provided. Get ready to explore Japan like never before! Remember, all tours are completely private and can be customized at a moment's notice to suit your group's preferences. If you don't see what you want, please contact me. Let's turn your dream tour into a reality! Although I'm not superstitious, I have a fascination with monster, ghost, magic, and horror stories. I find the Japanese versions of these tales especially intriguing, as they put their own spin on history and superstition. You can expect to hear some interesting tidbits about these cultural nuances during my tours. My walking tours are all about providing a personalized and focused experience for my clients. I aim to take you to lesser-known sites, share hidden secrets, introduce you to cultural curiosities, and of course, let you taste some delicious local Japanese foods. I want to show you the most unique features of each area we visit. While there may be quite a bit of walking involved, don't worry - I'll make sure to adjust the pace and frequency of rests to suit your needs. Everyone has different physical abilities and preferences, and I want to ensure that everyone has a comfortable and enjoyable experience. So lace up your walking shoes and let's explore Japan together! I'm a professional entertainer and former teacher, so I may add a bit of flair to my tours by sharing some stories about myself and my background. I have taken dozens of cruises, love meeting people from all over the world and am a proud supporter of Ukraine, Israel and Democracy in general. Plus, I'm LGBTQ+ friendly!

*[LIMITED TIME DISCOUNT] I created my profile a few days ago! Hi, I’m Kazuto! Please call me “Kazu”! I was born and raised in Osaka. I’ve been working as a Japanese tutor and sometimes show my students around Osaka. My students sometimes feel stressed in Japan due to the language barrier even though they study Japanese and I’ve decided to become a tour guide in Kansai to help tourists! DO YOU WANT A STRESS-FREE TRIP? I can be your private concierge for your trip. Let me know if you need any help! By the way, I like anime, manga, video games, I’m an Otaku :) There are a lot of “otaku” places in Osaka like “Nintendo Osaka”, “Pokemon Center”, “Shonen-JUMP store”, “Universal Studio Japan” and so on. I want to show impressive Japanese Pop Culture so much!! Japan has limited-time anime, game or manga-collab cafes. You have to book for many of them and I can help you with the booking! Also, I like eating out! I can offer bar-hopping tours, share good ramen restaurants, and so on! I’m looking forward to seeing you! Let’s explore deep Osaka!

Hi! I had been working for Wakayama Prefectural Government for 38 years, mainly in the field of cultural heritage management and international relations. I am a national certificated English guide and I have a lot of knowledge and experience in the field of cultural heritage management and international relations. I am very good at cultural heritages. And Koyasan and Kumano in Wakayama Prefecture are inscribed in the World Heritage List as parts of “Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range". I was a project manager of "the Koyasan and Kumano World Heritage Inscription Project” at Wakayama Prefectural Government. I know inside and out of Koyasan, Kumano, Wakayama and other places in the Kansai area. I have a lot of experience of guiding as I was also in charge of international relations for a long time at the government. I will be able to provide interpretive guiding service for you around Koyasan, Wakayama, Osaka and other places in the Kansai area as I am a cultural heritage management and international relations professional. I am sure you will be able to get deeper understandings on Japanese culture and that your trip with me will be memorable one.
