About Tour Guide Masumi N.
Hello! I am Masumi, thanks for checking out my profile!
I have spent the past 11 years in Tokyo, but prior to Tokyo, I spent 10 years in Dubai. I have also lived in the UK for a couple of years and studied in the US for a year.
I worked as a cabin crew during my years in Dubai. The international and multi cultural environment made me who I am today, an international person. I was fascinated and intrigued by the counties I visited and its people.
As my job took me to countless countries, enabling me to see the world, I found that a tour guide could determine one’s impression of the country, making the trip more memorable. I cherish the great tours I went on to this day!
Also, having lived abroad for 10 years, I was surprised at the level of interest there is in Japan and how many had the desire to visit one day.
After returning to Japan, I soon got a taste of how difficult it could be to get around, even for a Japanese person! Visiting Japan I imagine can be daunting, not just the language barrier, but the ability to get from one place to another in an efficient way.
This led me to get started as a tour guide, assisting visitors with the best possible experience in Japan.
Tokyo is an attractive city where traditional and modern Japan coexist.
You can either arrange your own itinerary, or let me help you discover Japan according to your preference. Leave it to me, we can deep dive into anything from must see landmarks to delicious cuisines to discovering how the locals live. Let me help you make your experience in Japan memorable!
Look forward to seeing you soon!

“A Heartfelt Thank You to Masumi – The Soul of Our Tokyo Experience”
Our two-day tour with Masumi (May 16 & 17) was more than just sightseeing — it was the heart of our Tokyo journey. From the moment we met her, Masumi brought an incredible warmth and joyful spirit that instantly made us feel at ease. She greeted us with a beaming smile and a laugh that never seemed to run out. In a city as massive and fast-paced as Tokyo, having someone so genuinely kind and upbeat guiding us made all the difference. Over the course of 8 hours, Masumi took us to many of Tokyo’s must-see spots — from serene shrines and historic temples to vibrant urban areas — always tailoring the experience to suit our pace and interests. She shared stories and insights with such passion, and yet never overwhelmed us. It was like exploring the city with an old friend who just happened to know everything. Her English was excellent, her planning was flawless, and she was always so responsive and thoughtful even before we arrived. But what truly stayed with us was how she empowered us. Thanks to her guidance, we learned how to confidently navigate Tokyo’s complex subway and train system — something that would’ve seemed daunting on our own. That small but important gift gave us the freedom to explore independently for the rest of our trip, and we owe that to her patience and clarity. There may not have been one single “wow” moment, but Masumi herself was the wow. Her laughter, her care, her knowledge — it all came together to create a feeling we’ll carry with us forever. If you want to feel connected to Tokyo, to move through it not just as a tourist but as someone who understands its rhythm and beauty — take a tour with Masumi. She didn’t just show us the city. She helped us feel at home in it. Thank you, Masumi. You made Tokyo unforgettable.

Hello to all of you on the screen. My name is Toru Ishii and I am a licensed national interpretater of English language. I have been guiding scrolling around a Japanese landscape garden designated as Scenic Beauty in Yokohama city for the last 2 years. I would like to explain about time-honored Japanese architectures, transfered from Kyoto and Kamakura, designated as Important Cultural Property. I am also interested in Tea Ceremony and in the ritual of serving powdered green tea in the garden. Yokohama opened its door to overseas comers in 1859 after the Meiji Restoration. The port of Yokohama shared about 70 percents of overseas trading in Japan. The main export was raw silk thread. Now the beautiful city of Yokohama has become historically exotic and ranks as one of the most fascinating internationally trading city that attracts many foreign tourists. I am always happy to guide tourists around this historical region and Introduce the delights of Japanese cuisine and Chinese cuisine in China town according to the visitor's requests. Stepping further out from Yokohama, I would recommend Kamakura city, a 20 minutes train ride on the JR Line, where the visitor can feel the fresh ocean breeze. The nearby Zen Buddhist temples and the Great Buddha are main attractions and souvenir shopping adds the excitement. Kamakura was established by the first Shogun, Yoritomo Minamoto, in 1192 and the shogunate government lasted till 1333. He established his Samurai government which ruled over Japan. After arriving at Kamakura or Kita-Kamakura station, the visitor can easily walk around the city. This city is easily accesable by train from Yokohama (less than 30 minutes) and Tokyo (less than 1 hour). As for my background, I have experienced staying in Louisiana in the United States and studied at the university there. Now I am 60 years old and I am still working for a company, while at the same time, I work as a volunteer guide a few days a month in Yokohama city. I like traveling in foreign countries, and have experienced short time staying at several European countries, North America as well as some Asian countries. Last January, I travelled San Fransico and Merced city, California. I would be delighted to exchange cultural experience with many visitors from all over the world. If you happen to be visiting my country and if you are interested , please feel free to contact me. Toru Ishii

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!
