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.

Kochi Highlights Tour

Dear Hiroshi, We are really enjoyed time spent in Kochi with your very professional, knowledgeable guidance! You organized the tour that covered all very interesting and beautiful places, aseptically the Chikurinji Temple! And the experience with Yosakoi dancing competition was amazing. We definitely will recommend you service as the best choice. Thank you for the pictures you’ve sent! Regards, Lidiya, Elena, Robert, and Alex

Thank you so much for your lovely message! I had a great time with all of you in Kochi. I am so glad Chikurinji Temple was a highlight for you, and we were really lucky to catch the Yosakoi dance competition that day. It was such a fun and happy group to spend the day with, and I am happy you enjoyed the photos too. Please come back to Kochi anytime, I would love to show you even more of my hometown! Hiroshi

Away from the city. You get to see the real beauty of this country.

Hiroshi is a fantastic guide with a great knowledge of his home land. We went up into the Yasui valley and explored the Hiryu falls, Crystal basin and Sabine dam with the beautiful blue water streams. On our way back to the ship we stopped at a small country restaurant for some traditional Japanese lunch. Then Hiroshi took us to another little seaside restaurant to try the local delicacy of seared bonito. It was amazing, despite our reservations. It is so good to have local food and experiences when you have a guide to translate and assist you. Hiroshi has a great Toyota van that is very clean and comfortable. He was punctual and mindful of getting us back to the ship. Hiroshi is a keen photographer and gave us many photos of our experiences with him on the day. Make sure you book early so you don’t miss out on this kind and amazing guide in Kochi.

Thank you so much for this warm and kind review, it really touched my heart. I loved being able to take you both away from the usual tourist path and share places like Yasui Valley and the Crystal Basin, spots that most visitors never get to see. Hearing that you enjoyed the local food too made the day even more special for me. Spending time with you and your wife was a real joy, and I feel lucky to have shared it with you. I truly hope you both continue to enjoy many more happy, healthy trips together, and I would love nothing more than to welcome you back to Kochi again someday.

We had a blast in Kochi with Hiroshi!

Hiroshi was an absolute joy to spend the day with. He took us all around to the best spots - even with the downpour! - and made sure we had fun. He has a great demeanor and knows all about the history of Japan and did a good job of sharing with us. And he took us to a GREAT lunch spot! The car was clean and comfortable, and Hiroshi was a safe driver.

Hi Kirk, Thank you for the fantastic feedback! I had so much fun guiding you all, starting right from the pickup with "The H" sign! Your great humor and positive vibes completely blew the rainy weather away. I'm so glad we could share some interesting history and enjoy a great lunch together. Please give my warmest regards to everyone. You are welcome back to Kochi anytime! Warmly, Hiroshi
