About Tour Guide Dai A.
Hi, I'm Dai, a national licensed tour guide for people from all over the world.
I’m crazy about traveling around the world.
I’ve backpacked in over 150 countries.
So I'm proud of my traveling skills, flexibility and patience that I've ever experienced through my world-traveling.
I do believe one of the most important thing for travelers is to " EXPERIENCE ", such as doing something new, extraordinary and something you've never done before.
Also, I used to work at a hostel in Asakusa, so I'm quite familiar with Asakusa area.
I'd love to help international tourists enjoy their stay in Japan.
You can arrange your own itinerary as you like.
Please feel free to contact me anytime, if you have any questions.
I'm really looking forward to seeing YOU soon. Thank YOU.

“Saw a lot but not the best first day”
We took this 8 hour tour on our first full day in Japan to get acquainted with both the sites and culture. We saw a lot of the main highlights of Tokyo, as advertised, but I will caution that we spent about 60-90 minutes on the subway overall between stops, as they are very far apart, but we could have saved time if we had taken the JR lines instead (which I believe would have been pricier but we would have been happy to do if it had been offered as an option). Dai was nice, but did not talk much between stops or offer much information beyond what could be found in a guide book. We had a misunderstanding at one stop, but Dai was not able to helpfully moderate the situation and instead made us feel more uncomfortable about our mistake. I would say this experience was good for navigating a lot of the city in one day - though I’d probably recommend choosing a smaller footprint to cover - but unfortunately our tour was a little disappointing. Our tour also ended an hour early, as well, which was a surprise. We would have preferred to have the full 8 hours and expected our guide to be able to adjust to fill the remaining time.

Thank you for taking your precious time to write a review, Mabel. But unfortunately, seems like my tour was not good enough as you expected. I am so sorry to have disappointed you. I need to seriously accept your valuable opinions. And I want to use this experience and be helpful in my future job. I will try not to disappoint my customers again. Sincerely yours, Dai

“8hrs with Dai 2025”
Dai was the absolute best tour guide we could imagine. He whizzed us around the Metro with ease, we saw everything we wanted and more. He is very knowledgeable, fun and great to be around. It would have taken us a week to see what he showed us in 8hrs. It was a great pace, we didn’t feel rushed. It was a 10/10 experience. Thanks so much Dai.

“Great first impression of Japan”
We booked a half day with Dai prior to our first day in Japan. We walked the around the exterior grounds of the Imperial Palace, stopped by a market, and toured a Buddhist temple. Dai was very helpful answering our many questions. It was a good day.

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.

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..
