Japan

I was born and grew up in Yokohama. I used to work in Tokyo for more than 20 years. I became the National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter in English in 2013. At first, I had attended a volunteer group which provided a tour of the Imperial Palace East Gardens until 2015. I guided more than fifty times in the garden as a volunteer and studied about Japanese history and culture. Based on this experience, I became a tour guide of this online site in 2015. Since then, I have guided more than 500 tours in Tokyo as well as Yokohama, Kamakura, Hakone, Kyoto, Nikko, etc., while improving my tours. My tours are very flexible and I always do my best to customize them according to the interests of my guests. I studied about the places and will provide you knowledge to appreciate them more deeply than just visiting there by yourself or a member of group tours. I like foods and I know many restaurants which provide typical Japanese lunch with reasonable price without waiting too long. Therefore, I am sure that I can provide you the best tours customized to your interests. It will be my great pleasure to help you to enjoy your stay in Japan. So please be my guest!!

Mexico

I have been a volunteer local guide since 2018, during that time I have met people from all around the world which taught me a lot to interact with all kinds of people as well as to show my city in an authentic and interesting way. I like taking people to places that show the other Mexico city's face, a closer perspective to how its inhabitants live it day by day. History and photography are my other two great passions

Masayuki I.

Japan

My name is Masayuki currently living in Kyoto. Everyone casually calls me Massy. I grew up in a bilingual ( English / Japanese ) background. I am a new entry in here, but I am already very well experienced in hosting and guiding. I was in Canada and U.S. I once took a leading role of an international community as well as being an English teacher. I like to explore things to discover all the hidden beauties and treasures off the beaten path and share with others. I would only show you to the places you really need a guide with no information in English. If you are interested in things truly unique known only to some locals, I am the one. I like to explore in nature and show my footsteps to everyone to discover new hidden ground. It is almost my natural instinct to avoid crowd. I am not into ordinary tourism of Kyoto because I don't want to be another one of them doing the same guide in Kyoto. I want to show you to a true state of sacred and beauty which is unharmed by commercialization and over-tourism. My itinerary cuts off overrated attractions from the view point of a local. In Kyoto I mostly write about places never been introduced in English. I am not a licensed tour guide interpreter, but I have different field of knowledge to introduce things. I am more of an English-hosting guide without strict business manner. I am a professional in writing introduction pages mainly for north parts of Kyoto in English. I would like to take you to some adventurous tour while I am still active enough to do this. The courses are my own creation since I am the original one to write in English. I am a very open and friendly person who can communicate in English nearly as good as a native speaker. My wife is from Ukraine often assisting me to host my guests.

“Excellent! Highly recommended! ”

Si vous cherchez un guide pour votre séjour à Tokyo et aux alentours, ne cherchez pas plus loin que Monsieur Satoru. Sa patience, sa flexibilité et son souci du bien-être de ses clients font de lui un choix exceptionnel. Lors de notre dernière journée dans la ville, il a organisé une sortie pour un tournoi de sumo , une expérience véritablement unique. Il nous a fourni des explications détaillées sur le règlement, accompagnées d'une brochure informative. Monsieur Satoru nous a également assistés dans l'achat de souvenirs, démontrant sa connaissance parfaite de la ville. Sa gentillesse est sans égale, et sa capacité à veiller constamment sur nos intérêts et notre confort nous a permis de lui faire confiance les yeux fermés. Il nous a aidés par WhatsApp quand nous étions a Hiroshima. De plus, sa passion pour l'histoire est absolument contagieuse. Enfin, Monsieur Satoru est non seulement un guide compétent mais aussi une belle personne. Grâce à lui, nous avons vécu une **expérience merveilleuse**. Si vous souhaitez que votre visite soit enrichissante et mémorable, choisissez Monsieur Satoru comme guide. Vous ne le regretterez pas !

“Caring friendly guide”

We booked Kanae for 2 days in Kyoto, 1 day of seeing shrines and 1 day of hiking. Our plans changed and we needed 2 days of mixed sightseeing. Kanae was very accommodating and took it all in stride, even picking us up from the train station! Highly recommend her.

“Beautiful Day at Zaanse Schans”

We were lucky to have sunshine on the day we visited Zaanse Schans. Our guide Marie's smile is as bright as the sunshine. She is patient and caring, sharing with us stories of the windmills and brought us to the cheese and chocolate places. The drinks at the cafe are lovely. We also enjoyed the special area she showed us at Amsterdam Ctrl Train Station.
