“Great Tokyo Tour”
It was great to discover Tokyo with William. He presented a lot of highlights and gave me a lot of information of this mega city, its culture and the people. Thank you very much.

Dear Helene: Thank you very much for your kind compliments. I also deeply appreciate the chocolates, the Swiss multi-tool knife set, and the three Easter bunny eggs you brought from your beautiful hometown in Switzerland as gifts for my three children. My children have asked me to convey their heartfelt thanks to you for these wonderful presents. We hope that the next time you visit Japan, you will choose to explore other parts of the country with us through our company, GoWithGuide. Once again, thank you for all the heartfelt efforts you have made for us. With sincere gratitude. Best Regards William

“Great Tour with William”
We had a great time with Mr William during our trip to Mt Fuji. We had fun time and enjoy a lot at Fuji Speedway Museum, Shino Honkai, Oishi Park. My 2 teenage sons had great time with Mr William as he share his Formula experiences with them during the trip. Mr William also take good photos for us. We really recommend Mr William and will definately look for him for our next trip to Japan again. Sharing here some good photos taken by Mr William.

Yuko O.
Hello, potential tourists! I'm Yuko, Yokohama local tour guide with English government license. I have been living in Yokohama for 40 years, and have been working in Tokyo for 35 years; 20 years as a business person,10 years as a teacher, then I became a tour guide in 2015. Yokohama is a major port city, and the 2nd largest city in Japan. It is one of the most popular sightseeing spots for Japanese tourists as well. However, for non-Japanese guests who are to experience things unique to Japan, without a tour guide, it could not be so stimulating, - a beautiful harbor, traditional garden, fashionable shopping mall, which could be likely to appear not so different from Tokyo, or other Western or Asian port cities. Actually, Yokohama is very special for Japan ! Without Yokohama, Japan would not have been developed into what it is now! Would you find real attraction of Yokohama with me ? Also I'm familiar with Tokyo, an urban city and Kamakura, an ancient city. See you in Yokohama, Japan!

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!!

Hello, I'm Hiroshi. I am a National Government Licensed Tour Guide Interpreter in English. I have got a master's degree in Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in the U.S. I have been living in a city of Fujisawa, which is the city next to Kamakura, for more than 20 years, and also lived in Kamakura for more than 10 years. So far, I have visited almost all the temples and shrines in Kamakura. So I am sure I can offer you a pleasant trip to the historical city, Kamakura. In addition to Kamakura, I can also guide Tokyo, Yokohama, Hakone, Nikko, etc. because I have visited many places in Kanto area. For example, in Tokyo I can show you around the sightseeing spots such as Asakusa, Tsukiji, Imperial Palace, Meiji Shrine, Tokyo Skytree, etc. I like baseball and used to play baseball, but now enjoy watching professional baseball games. And I like watching Rakugo, Japanese traditional story-telling performance. Of course, I also like travelling very much, and am interested in Japanese culture and history. So I would like to show you Japanese tradition and culture. Let’s enjoy a trip in Japan together. I am looking forward to seeing you soon.
