TOKYO Waterfall Adventure [For Adults only]
【Note】 If you send me a message, I will adjust the schedule. 【Overview】 Do you know "Waterfall training" called "Taki-gyo" in Japanese? Waterfall training is a traditional Japanese ritual and one of the practices in Buddhism. This is widely recognized among modern Japanese people and has become an important experience for those seeking personal growth and self-discovery. This tour offers a waterfall training with a Japanese guide, and you can also enjoy hot springs and cuisine.
Matcha Drinking Comparison at my Home
The charm of this experience is the following two points. 【①Matcha drinking comparison】 There are many brands of matcha. You can experience the differences in variation, price, quality, and taste. You can know the benefits of matcha. 【②Visit a Japanese person's home】 We will be comparing matcha drinks at the homes of ordinary people living in Tokyo. Would you like to spend time together drinking tea at a friend's house?

“Akira O - Most Excellent ”
Akira is a great communicator. Akira is also very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. He ensured each part of my tour was well organized. I experienced exactly what I hoped for on our tour. Akira went above and beyond ensuring my experience at the local temples was meaningful and helped me understand the Tokyo train system. 5 Stars for Akira. I recommend Akira.

“An amazing tour guide - 5 star plus ”
Akira offers a unique combination of exceptional qualities related to personality traits and professional skills. Besides his in-depth knowledge of Japan and its culture and tradition, he impressed me with his enthusiasm and passion for making my tour off the mainstream herd, authentic and bespoke, giving me insights I would otherwise most likely never have been able to receive. Akira san is a very likeable gentleman and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for high quality and class.

Hello everyone! I was born and raised in Kawagoe, a historic city next to Tokyo in Saitama. Two years ago, I graduated from a university in Japan, and now I work as a tour guide and study abroad support advisor. Three years ago, I had the opportunity to study abroad in Vancouver, Canada. During my time there, I was warmly welcomed by the locals, and I discovered the joy of immersing myself in a new culture and daily life. I also learned the value and excitement of connecting with people from different backgrounds. That’s why I now want to be the one to support others. As a guide, I aim to make your journey even more special! Through Go with Guide, I want to offer more than just the typical sightseeing experience—I want to provide unique opportunities for you to dive deeper into Japan’s rich culture. I am committed to creating a safe, thoughtful, and enjoyable experience for everyone. Let’s not just visit Japan—let’s feel it. Join me on an unforgettable journey, and together, let’s embrace the true beauty of Japan! I look forward to meeting you!

Born and bred in Tokyo I am still living in the suburbs of Tokyo. I spent several years in the U.S. and the UK and wanted to show international visitors around Japan in return for the hospitality I had received in foreign countries. After coming back from the UK, I obtained the qualification of the National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter. I can guide guests to every corner of Tokyo including areas off the beaten track. As a history fan I can tell you a historical episode behind the scenes. From a local perspective I can explain how we Japanese are getting along. Since I have science and technology backgrounds, I can give you a tour of scientific or technical things as well..

Hello, I'm Yoshi!! I started my second career as a tour guide after retiring from the Japanese computer company I had worked for about 40 years. I was born in Asakusa and grew up in down town in Tokyo. I’m married with two daughters and three grandchildren, two girls and a boy. I've experienced guiding international visitors in Tokyo and other famous sightseeing spots as a guide for several years. I will be so happy to help you enjoy your stay in Japan. Look forward to joining my tour!!
