About Tour Guide Dan C.
Hi I’m a friendly Australian living in Japan for 20 years. I work as a Kindergarten teacher here so I design my tours to be very Family Friendly: stress free for the parents and exciting for the kids. I particularly love to make little packs filled with goodies for the kids so they can experience what Japanese kids do. I want my guests to experience a real Japan and I love teaching Japanese to the little ones. * Children with special needs and/or mobility issues are especially welcomed. I can make accommodations and plan a tour based on their unique needs.

“Great tour with kids. ”
Dan was an excellent guide. From the moment he met us at our hotel he had our children interested. From the many Japanese candy treats to personalized name cards and Japanese word cards. Dan accommodated the tour to our needs of our children and what we wanted to see. He helped us with navigating train system, getting Shinkansen tickets and showing us some highlighted tourist places on our list. We didn’t have a schedule to stick to as this was our first day in Tokyo. It was a great way to just acclimatize into Japanese and Tokyo culture. The key is not to try do to many things and have a tick list and Dan was great at just giving us a relaxed start to our holiday with our children. Highly recommend.

“So much fun”
We had a fabulous time on our Tokyo tour with Dan. We were a group of 2 families (4 adults and 5 kids). All 9 of us enjoyed the tour with Dan. He was very friendly, knowledgable and fun. He came well prepared with snacks and lollies to bribe the kids. The kids had a ball...and so did we. Thank you very much Dan.

“Fantastic Tour”
Highly recommend this tour. Mt Takao is just gorgeous. Dan is an excellent guide and taught our 14 year old daughter to speak Japanese phrases, which she enjoyed. Nothing was a bother and the tour was adjusted to what we wanted to see and do. Highly recommend Dan for tours in Japan.

Kon-ni-chi-wa. Hello! I'm Kaori, having lived in Tokyo for more than 20 years since I got married to a photographer who lives here. Originally from Shizuoka prefecture which has Mt.Fuji, the highest mountain in Japan. I took 2 working-holiday-visa stays in my younger days. One is in Toronto, Canada, and another is Australia touring by motorcycle. One year respectively. I love travel both international and domestic. That's why I love helping individual travelers rather than group tours, because I myself love travel freely. Love nature, gardens, trekking, greenery, also anime. My favorite is taking you to the off-the-beaten tracks where I love. As a national government licensed guide, I've got deep knowledge of Japanese culture and history. I really enjoy talking about the way of life with people from different cultures. We see what you like and talk what you are interested in. That's my style. If you don't know what to want, I can help you with that. I'm happy to make tailor-made tours only for you (up to 4 people) upon your request. ・Half Day as you like (up to 4 hours) : 40,000 JPY ・Full Day as you like (up to 8 hours) : 64,000 JPY ・Extra hour over 8hours : 6,000 JPY/hour I'm quite an outgoing person, ( but organized well! ), easy to get along with anybody, including small kids to teenagers. Can't wait to see you soon!

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!
