Hello.My name is Go ,a national certified guide-interpreter. I live in Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture. Iwaki, about 180 km northeast of Tokyo, is a seaside city blessed with the mild climate and the gateway to the Tohoku district. My favorite things are gardening and listening jazz and fusion. I am a big fan of Hirotaka Izumi, a proficient pianist. I had lived in Auckland,NZ for a year and a half. As a local,I will show great sights of Ibaraki and Fukushima to visitors with sincerity.

“A memorable day in Fukushima!”
Our tour with Go Ezaki was amazing! He kindly adapted the itinerary, swapping the Super Zero Mill for a charming baumkuhen shop, where we enjoyed delicious low-sugar sweets made with locally grown rice — a unique and tasty experience. We also stopped to take photos at Futaba’s famous murals by local artists, visited the school heavily impacted by the tsunami, and had a delicious local lunch in Namie. To top it off, we ended the day with the breathtaking view of Iwaki’s coastline and its nori that has been there for over 40 years. It was a long day but perfectly organized. We made it back to the train to Tokyo on time, and Go was an outstanding guide — detailed, attentive, a great photographer, and full of fascinating insights about Fukushima and Japan. Highly recommended!

“Great (customized) version of this trip with Go”
Go was very friendly, went out of his way to fit in with our needs (tweaking the itinerary and even borrowing a bigger car), and was a mine of detailed information on the complexities of the Fukushima response after 2011 to Japanese politics, the local population decline, and the economy. A fascinating day with a particular highlight being the visit to the the The Great East Japan Earthquake and Nuclear Disaster Memorial Museum in Futaba. A unique (and completely safe) experience we'd strongly recommend.

Charles-san, Thank you for your review. I am relieved that you seem to be generally satisfied. I have learned a lot through conversations with your family. I had a very valuable and enjoyable time. Personally, I had a few things to reflect on this time. I would like to work hard and improve for a better tour in the future. Thank you. Go

“Flexible and thoughtful, no better available.”
Go san is a kind-hearted person, he accommodated my change of schedule as far as he could. He asked why I opted for this tour and he could addressed with places to visit from extraordinary to wow. Go san was informative and talkative as well which allowed us to exchange observations and ideas of the local area spicing up the experience.
