About Tour Guide Noel M.
Hello everyone!
Many thanks for checking out my profile. I'm originally from New Zealand but have spent my adult life here in Japan. The Nagoya area has been my home since the early nineties. I have witnessed the region's transformation from a sleepy industrial city to the vibrant metropolis of today. I would love the opportunity to tell you about some of my adventures and also a few of the outstanding people I've met.
I spent many years practicing karate and have also developed a deep interest in Buddhism. I speak Japanese confidently.
I'm new to GoWithGuide but have previous experience giving walking tours. To be able to introduce you to a few of my favourite Nagoya suburbs would be a treat. There are fascinating, historic temples as well as a stupa that purportedly contains a portion of the Buddha's ashes. Also, there are numerous tempting eateries and a few quirky shops. I prefer guiding guests around these less visited areas as you can get a feel for how the locals live.
I look forward to meeting you soon.

Thank you Norman, I much appreciate your kind words. I thoroughly enjoyed our day together and was pleased that I could share areas of Nagoya that are a little off the beaten track. Best wishes and good luck for your future adventures.

“Best Tour Guide for Nagoya!”
We had an indescribably great day with Noel away from the typical tourist attractions. He showed us the great Buddha, took us to visit Shinshū Ōtani-ha Nagoya-Betsuin Temple and we ended the day with a trip to Nagoya Castle. We would highly recommend Noel because he did a great job organizing everything and we would spend another day with him anytime. He gave us so much historical information, it was very informative and exciting!

Thank you so much. I very much enjoyed showing off a few of my favourite places here in Nagoya. I'm sure that you'll love the remainder of your travels around Japan. Meeting you and your family was fantastic and I greatly appreciate you helping me improve my German vocabulary. Safe journeys.

Hello everyone. I am Tetsuji. I worked as a public servant in the local government for 35 years. I belonged to the department of Redevelopment, Town-Landscaping, Preserving historical areas and Architectural Guidance. (I have a national 1st-class architect license.) I devoted myself to revitalizing the city by making plans and improving infrastructure for citizens. Gifu is located in central Japan near Nagoya. As just being the crossroads of the West and the East, there are many unique attractions that are hard to discover in hectic big cities like Tokyo or Kyoto. I had a hand in restoring and preserving some of them throughout my career and want to introduce them to tourists from abroad. That’s why I became a guide-interpreter in Gifu. I also enjoyed traveling around the world. My favorite part of each trip was walking around the city and talking with local residents. Traveling has taught me lots of things during my lifetime. Now, I would like to help others have similar experience in Japan. Shall we enjoy fantastic journey in Gifu?

Hi! I’m Yumi, National Licensed Guide. Japan has so many charms, must-see spots & must-eat dishes. Let’s enjoy those with me as you’ve got a local friend. Feel free to contact me to plan your own trip Golden age guests, family with kids are highly welcomed! Big cities like Tokyo or Kyoto is wonderful as you know, but the local places like my location is also nice. Reasonable prices, easy to book hotels, not so crowded, etc. When you travel between Tokyo and Kyoto, why don’t you stop by at Nagoya? ★Let's enjoy something local while you stay in Japan! I mainly do walking tour using public transportations. Let me know your preferences to make your original itinerary. I am available for not only for day tour but also evening tour to visit where locals gather and enjoy food and sake at local bars and cozy restaurants.
