About Tour Guide Sakie U.

Hello, I'm Saki.


I am absolutely thrilled to be your guide to the enchanting wonders of Amakusa, Kumamoto, Nagasaki, and the broader Kyushu region.


As a native of Amakusa, Kumamoto, I have a deep connection to this area, having lived until completing high school. After spending 15 exciting years in Osaka and Tokyo for university and work, I couldn't resist the magnetic pull of my hometown and returned to Amakusa, realizing just how irresistibly charming it truly is.


With my National Licensed English Speaking Guide certification earned in 2018, I've led tour excursions, private tours, Christian tours, and FAM trips, primarily in the Kyushu area. Additionally, my experiences traveling for business and leisure in Europe and various Asian countries have allowed me to immerse myself in diverse cultures and meet incredible people from all walks of life.


Kyushu, without a doubt, harbors countless hidden treasures waiting to be uncovered and popular tourist destinations that will leave you in awe. It is my heartfelt goal to share the allure of this region with people from all corners of the globe. So, prepare for an unforgettable journey as we embark on an adventure together.


I look forward to meeting you!

A great trip to Amakusa!

Sakie was a wonderful guide! We were staying in Nagasaki so we came over to the island via the Mogi Port Ferry to Tomioka port. I requested Tomioka port as a custom pickup location and Sakie got us from there instead of the usual spot with no issues. Sakie's English was very good and she was very knowledgeable about the history of the area. We learned lots of great things and interesting local stories. For lunch we chose to do the sushi option in Sakitsu which was tremendous. Very unique style of sushi where the chef spiced each piece for us. It was all delicious. Thanks so much Sakie! We couldn't have seen everything without you!

Thank you so much, Lydia-san, for your wonderful five-star review! It truly meant a lot that you and your friend made the journey all the way from Nagasaki to Amakusa. I really enjoyed our conversations during the tour—I wish we had had even more time to talk! I was so impressed by how much you had already researched about Amakusa’s history before the visit. I hope you’ll continue exploring Nagasaki as well—though I’m sure your list is already quite full! I’m also so glad you enjoyed the local sushi. It’s always a pleasure to share the flavors of our region. Please do come back to Amakusa again someday. I’d love to guide you once more!

an unforgetable day with Sukie

From the start til the end our custom tour was well organized. Communication with Sakie was easy and efficent. Due to bad weather we had to change our schedules and Sakie instantely added some new locations to visit. She booked a lovely japanese local barbeque restaurant, which was an unforgetable expierence. All in all Sakie is the perfect guide and I would highly recommend her.

Thank you for your thoughtful comments, Gerog San. It was an honor to be with you and Marta San. I had a great time talking with you two experienced and topical people. I take my hat off to your observant eye for spotting that I have a daughter! I hope you had the chance to try the black beef in Kagoshima. We could not see the crater in Aso this time, so please visit Kumamoto the next time you come to Japan!

Amazing experience!!

When my aunt and uncle were visiting we wanted to visit takochiho gorge in the fall, and make transportation easy. Gowithguide offered the perfect your for this bucket list trip! Sakie was so knowledgeable and answered (extensive) questions from my family. We had some unavoidable issues (last minute weather cancellations) and some preferences (vegan food options) and she created a tour perfectly catered to us and gave us backup plans so we could have the perfect day! Our guide honda-san was so friendly and we enjoyed his company. 10/10 best guide ever!!! Thank you sakie!!!!
