“Very fun and tailored Akihabara tour with Tiago”
Our friend group of three had a blast with Tiago as he provided a very engaging and fun tour of Akihabara. Tiago went above and beyond in tailoring the tour to suit our group's interests and needs before and during the tour! We really enjoyed his energy, knowledge and enthusiasm. We only wish we had more time in Japan so we could do more tours with him. We look forward to having Tiago as our guide again in the near future!

“Chill and knowledgeable Individual”
An excellent quick down n' dirty guide to Akihabara. From anime figurines to retro electronics, this guy knows what's up. In addition to the Otaku ways, he's extremely informative on the history and hobbyist-culture with plenty of humorous facts along the way.

Hello everyone! I was born and raised in Kawagoe, a historic city next to Tokyo in Saitama. Two years ago, I graduated from a university in Japan, and now I work as a tour guide and study abroad support advisor. Three years ago, I had the opportunity to study abroad in Vancouver, Canada. During my time there, I was warmly welcomed by the locals, and I discovered the joy of immersing myself in a new culture and daily life. I also learned the value and excitement of connecting with people from different backgrounds. That’s why I now want to be the one to support others. As a guide, I aim to make your journey even more special! Through Go with Guide, I want to offer more than just the typical sightseeing experience—I want to provide unique opportunities for you to dive deeper into Japan’s rich culture. I am committed to creating a safe, thoughtful, and enjoyable experience for everyone. Let’s not just visit Japan—let’s feel it. Join me on an unforgettable journey, and together, let’s embrace the true beauty of Japan! I look forward to meeting you!

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 am 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!!

Born and bred in Tokyo I am still living in the suburbs of Tokyo. I spent several years in the U.S. and the UK and wanted to show international visitors around Japan in return for the hospitality I had received in foreign countries. After coming back from the UK, I obtained the qualification of the National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter. I can guide guests to every corner of Tokyo including areas off the beaten track. As a history fan I can tell you a historical episode behind the scenes. From a local perspective I can explain how we Japanese are getting along. Since I have science and technology backgrounds, I can give you a tour of scientific or technical things as well..
