“Wonderful service from Toki-san”
I'm attending the JPCA show last week, from my previous experience, I found it was hard to communicate with many Japanese manufacturers as they can only speaks Japanese, this difficulty has caused some problem for me in having a effective meeting with the Japanese company in the show. I must to do something to make the most of my trip, with this thinking, I did an online search for a Japanese translator, GoWithGuide jumping out of the crowd, finally I communicated with Toki san, and She is very professional about her work, spent some time to make a research for the industry, and provide me some great help during the show for communication. She was very keen to learn the new things, and I think the being a translator at a trade show would be a very good expansion to the Guide business. Finally I want to give a huge thank you to Toki-san's great service. All the best.

Allan san, Thank you so much for your warm review. It was a great experience participating in the expo, different from the usual guides. Learning about an industry that I don't usually have anything to do with, especially helped me to appreciate the small details of everyday life. I hope that your business will be well connected with Japanese companies. If you come to Japan again, let's do a sake tasting together! Thank you for having me, again. Best regard, Toki

“Enjoyable, delicious, and informative!”
Tokiko-san was an excellent guide through the world of sake. She is very knowledgeable and welcoming, and had a lot to teach. The sake choices and pairings were excellent. The experience was well-paced. I'd recommend her tasting experience to anyone.

Chirs san, Thank you for your warm comment. I'm so glad that you enjoyed the tasting. I hope you'll have chances to have Sake in U.S.A. as well! Please let me know when you come back to Japan!

“Perfect Day in Yokohama with Toki”
From our first communications in the GoWithGuide system, through our day tour in Yokohama, Toki was delightful, responsive, and genuinely interested in providing us with exactly the experience we were looking for! I was visiting Japan with my two adult daughters, and I had lived in Yokohama as a child for two years with my family. Returning to see the area where I had lived was a lifelong wish, and Toki expertly walked us through the area as part of our day tour with her. She expressed interest in my family story and seemed to enjoy playing "detective" with us, searching for clues as to the exact location of the house where I had lived 65 years ago, which has been replaced long ago with more modern buildings. In addition, she made other suggestions for places to go which we enjoyed and appreciated. Toki connected well with all of us, and we are grateful for her guidance and company during a very special day.

Alice san, Thank you for your warm message. It was a very special day, and I was so lucky to send time with you, Annna san and Laura san. And the girls trip inspired me a lot! I will plan the tour with my mom and sisters some day! It was a great honor to be able to provide such a memorable tour. Please come to Japan again! Best regard, Toki

Hello! My name is Grant, and I’ve spent over a decade living and exploring Japan. Originally from Omaha, Nebraska, I first came to Japan as a high school exchange student in Inuyama, a historic castle town in Aichi. My love for Japan began early—sparked by childhood games like Pokémon that were released in Japanese before English. That early curiosity grew into a lifelong passion for Japanese language, culture, and history. I hold an N2 on the Japanese Language Proficiency Test, a degree in Asian Studies from a Tokyo university, and I graduated from the Japan Visual Media Translation Academy. I’ve visited all 47 prefectures and explored a wide range of historical sites, shrines, and castles throughout the country. My background in Japanese history helps me provide context that brings depth and meaning to the places we visit—whether it's understanding a centuries-old temple in Kyoto, the story behind a castle ruin, or uncovering the historical layers of a Tokyo neighborhood. If you’re planning to explore Tokyo, here are some tour options to consider: One day in Tokyo? The Ginza Line Tour offers a great introduction to the city’s highlights. Two days? Pair the East Tokyo Tour and West Tokyo Tour to get a well-rounded experience. Interested in anime? The Anime Tour is flexible and can be tailored to match your specific interests. For those looking to go beyond the city, I also offer day trips to Nikko, Kamakura, and other nearby destinations. While most guests book Tokyo-based tours, I also guide in other regions—especially Kyoto, where I’ve visited every World Heritage Site. I regularly lead tours in Osaka, Nara, Nagoya, Hikone, and other locations easily reached by rail. Multi-day and custom tours are available on request. Full-Day Tour: 40,000 yen (8 hours) Full-Day Tour Outside of Tokyo: 40,000 yen + transportation Feel free to get in touch to plan a tour that fits your interests and travel plans.

I’ve called Japan home for seven years, embracing everything from Tokyo’s vibrant urban energy to the tranquillity of the countryside. Before becoming a guide, I explored Tokyo like a curious long-term traveller, uncovering unusual temples, quirky landmarks, hidden backstreets, local live music venues, rural mountain villages, and one-of-a-kind cultural gems. My passion lies in crafting immersive journeys that dive deep into Japan’s heart, sparking a sense of wonder and escape that makes travellers feel worlds away from home. I’m excited to guide you through the Tokyo labyrinth. This city is endlessly fascinating—so layered and dynamic that even with a lifetime here, you’d only scratch the surface. I’ll show you how to navigate it like a local, as mastering the transport system isn’t as tricky as it seems, and I’ll help you gain the confidence to explore Tokyo on your own while we focus on the city’s hidden treasures. Together, we can visit parts of Tokyo most travellers overlook—the nostalgic charm of the Shitamachi, the hustle of salaryman districts, the neon-lit buzz of cyber Tokyo, and tranquil local power spots. Let’s discover the city’s hidden depths and create memories that will last a lifetime!
