About Tour Guide Ei-chan N.

Name: Ei-chan N. - Local Tour Guide in Osaka, Kobe..
Brand: GoWithGuide
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)

My nickname is Ei-chan, and I’m a licensed English-speaking driver-guide in Japan. I live in Kobe. I love sharing Japanese culture, history, and everyday life with people from around the world.

I drive my own comfortable minivan, which is perfect for small groups and families. With it, we can travel safely and smoothly while exploring beautiful places off the beaten path.

Before becoming a guide, I worked as a teacher, so I enjoy explaining things clearly and making learning fun. During our tour, I’ll do my best to make your trip both informative and enjoyable, filled with local stories, humor, and warm hospitality.

Please feel free to ask me anything about Japan—its traditions, food, or daily life.

Let’s enjoy a wonderful journey together and create unforgettable memories!

Important

I can guide in Kyoto, Nara, Wakayama, and Himeji as well.

From 2026 onwards, I will stop teaching and will only be guiding, so any day of the week will be fine.

“Amazing time”

Thank you. What n incredible guide. Very informative and focussed had some new ideas on the day and we changed a few and added a few to fit into other new places he thought u would like. Went to small local places to eat and explore. Very happy and cheerful and wanted to know all about what I do and my love for Japan and was very easy to talk to as well. Fully recommend him for any Kobe or the surrounding area as a guide. In Japan always go for the amazing Japanese guides. Always the best
