“Fun day packed with activities”
We had a great 6h tour with Kei in Beppu. He met us at our hotel with his van for a driving tour. We started with a great lunch at a local spot by the traditional bath salt production area and saw 3 of the most beautiful hot spring hells. He also accommodated a visit to the monkey park even though that wasn't in our original agenda. Then we finished with a stop at an amazing observation tower that overlooked all of Beppu. Kei's English was very good and easy to understand as Americans. We had opportunities for souvenir shopping as well. I thought the value was great especially to include him driving the four of us around.

“4 days of Magic with Keita-San”
My boyfriend and I chose a 4-day itinerary with Keita and it was perfect. Keita was always extremely responsive, conscientious, and professional. He took seriously our requests for a bike tour, cultural experiences, a hike, and to see all of the best beautiful and hidden spots of Oita, and came back with an itinerary that blew us away. We informed Keita that we were foodies, and he found the best blowfish restaurant in Oita, as well as showed us to the best Shiitake mushroom farm which was fascinating. We are super well-traveled globally, and it was our 5th time in Japan. We still found the experiences provided by Keita to be unique and special. Keita is friendly and a lot of fun to spend time with. I was also super impressed with the sushi experience we had, a favorite of his and his family's. It was delicious! It was particularly special to visit his home town, and to know that he is an expert in the region of our tour. We will fondly remember these outstanding experiences forever.

Hi Daniella-san, thank you for choosing me for your one-week trip in Oita! Thank you for being thoughtful for my proposals and the feedback given in timely manner. I've just started missing you buddies after you left Oita. Anyway, I'm longing to meet you in near future here in Kyushu. Have a great trip!

Hello, everyone! I am Yoshiharu, a national certified tour guide. Fukuoka is my birthplace, so I have a close attachment to this region. Though you may not be familiar with the name of Fukuoka, I assure you that Fukuoka will provide new discovery and pleasure to your stay in Japan. I have a passion to introduce my country and regions from many points of views. Japan is a country which offers original culture and history. On the other hand, Japan has another attractiveness represented by advanced toilets with many functions, hotels with robot receptionists and so on. The co-existing society with the image of old Japan and the present Japan with high technology definitely make Japan a more attractive place. Not only take you to sightseeing spots and give you some explanations, but also I will help you to learn much more deeply about Japan and Japanese people, their way of thinking and lifestyle. In Addition to the tour guide license, I have received the qualification of international kikisake-shi,.sake sommelier. I will do my best to make your stay in Japan more memorable in a fun way. Let’s go out for new adventures together! (NOTE) I am not a land operator. It means that I don't make reservations for vans, buses, accommodations and other things for you except I think it is indispensable for me. I can give you some advice but, for example, if you want to charter a van for your travel, please contact taxi companies and make a reservation by yourselves. If you have difficulties doing it that way, please contact GoWithGuide or land operators in Japan and your country. Thank you for your understanding.
