About Tour Guide Kota A.

Hello everyone! My name is Kota.


After graduation from a university in Japan I spent a year in Vancouver, Canada, on a working holiday. While working as a server at a sushi restaurant, I had many opportunities to interact with guests who loved Japan, while also learning about Canadian culture from them. Those experiences became truly meaningful to me, and now I would like to take on that role here in Japan—sharing the beauty of my country with visitors and creating unforgettable memories together.


Tokyo is a world-famous metropolis, but beyond its well-known landmarks, it is full of hidden gems that are less crowded and waiting to be discovered. I would be delighted to explore such places with you and do my very best to make your trip to Japan a wonderful experience.


Since I am originally from Hiroshima, I am also very familiar with Kyoto, Hiroshima, and Osaka. I would be happy to give you helpful advice if you plan to visit those areas. And if our schedules align, I would love to guide you around my hometown Hiroshima, as well as Shiga where I spent my student years, or even Kyoto and Osaka. Please feel free to reach out anytime!


I enjoy watching soccer (especially Manchester United!), and I also like beer and whisky.


I’m really looking forward to meeting you all :)

Amazing tour!

I had the pleasure of exploring Tokyo with Kota, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. He was incredibly respectful and attentive, always listening to what we wanted to see and adjusting the tour seamlessly along the way. From the moment we met, he made us feel welcome in his country and even greeted us with a thoughtful hand-drawn gift, which was such a personal and memorable touch. Throughout the day, he shared not just well-known highlights but also hidden gems and experiences we would have never found on our own. His knowledge of Japan’s history and culture is outstanding, and he explained everything in a way that was both engaging and easy to understand. If you’re looking to experience Tokyo in depth, beyond the typical tourist trail, this is the guide you want. Highly recommended!

Dear Damien and Anna, Thank you so much for joining the tour! I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed visiting the hidden gems we explored, they’re some of my personal favorites as well. :) Please make good use of the chopsticks and chopstick rests at home! I hope that every time you use them, they’ll bring back fond memories of this trip. Thank you again, and I truly appreciate it! Kody

Excellent tour

Kody was fantastic. He was very accommodating to my requests, knew a lot about Tokyo, and also shared a wealth of knowledge about his hometown, Hiroshima. I highly recommend him.
