About Tour Guide Hiroshi M.

I’m a local licensed guide based in Kochi Prefecture. I grew up by the Pacific Ocean in Kochi and spent four years each in Tokyo and the United States—giving me both deep local knowledge and a global perspective.


Although I’m new to GoWithGuide, I’ve been welcoming international guests for years through my private rental villa in Aki City and as a local guide in Kochi. Working in the travel industry, I know not only the famous landmarks but also the hidden gems of the region.


All the photos you see here were taken by me—I enjoy photography, and if you’d like, I’d be happy to capture some memorable shots for you during the tour.

Important

I currently offer several tour options, but I can also create a fully customized itinerary based on your interests. In the photo gallery, you'll find examples of places and experiences I’ve introduced to past guests.


If there’s a specific place you’d like to visit, feel free to reach out.

For cruise ship travelers, most tours are around 6 hours, so I recommend choosing 3 to 4 spots. To make planning easier, I’ve grouped locations into Central (C), Eastern(E), and Western(W) Kochi in the gallery—please use that as a reference.

A dream came true

It has always been a dream of my father’s to go to Tsuno Town, a small village in Kochi with about 5 thousand people, where his ancestors came from before immigrating. Since it’s a place only accessible by car, we were searching options to take us there from Kochi and found Hiroshi-san’s personalized tour. It couldn’t have been a better experience. He is a gentle soul, safe driver and absolutely in love with Kochi itself. After paying respects in the grave of our ancestors, he showed us some beautiful sights of Kochi and took us to have lunch where we could experience local cuisine and buy plenty of souvenirs. Hiroshi-san speaks very good English and is extremely friendly. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide! Thank you for helping us make this dream come true, me and my family will definitely come back to stay longer next time!

Thank you very much for your wonderful review! It was a true honor and a privilege to be part of such a significant journey for your family. Assisting in fulfilling your father’s lifelong dream of visiting his ancestral roots in Tsuno Town is a memory I will cherish as a guide. Standing by as you paid your respects at the family grave was a deeply moving moment, and I am glad we could make this return to Kochi a reality for all of you. I am also delighted that you enjoyed the scenic drive to the highlands, our local cuisine, and found some great souvenirs to take back to Brazil! Your family's warmth and kind spirit made the day truly special for me as well. Please know that you are always welcome back in Kochi. There are still many hidden gems I would love to show you next time! Wishing you and your family a safe journey home and all the best. Warm regards, Hiroshi

Great visit in Kochi

Hiroshi was an absolute gem and we were fortunate to have him as our guide in Kochi. He is both charming and full of knowledge and history about his hometown. He not only showed us the major highlights but also shared a few of the “off the beaten path” places I’m sure few have gone to as tourists. We made a friend in Japan who we would be fortunate to meet again. Jeff & Marcia

Jeff & Marcia, thank you so much for this wonderful review! It truly made my day. You were such great guests to spend the day with, and I loved that you were open to trying everything, from the local food to the unexpected detours. That is what makes a tour memorable for me too. I hope our paths cross again someday. You are always welcome in Kochi! Hiroshi
