Firstly, I would like to wish all my previous and future clients a Happy New Year and of course a healthy and prosperous 2025. I am sure this year will be a busy but challenging one for us all.
I am going onto my 14th year as a Tour Guide and Shore Excursion specialist. I will never forget my first tour in 2011 with the Limanski party of 8. Of course their were a lot of nerves and trepidation but the excitement was palpable with a new business venture just starting to come to fruition.
Over the years, obviously I have refined my skills, introduced many new tour offerings and expanded into many new regions around Japan as the demand for guides and bespoke/ customized experiences has become the norm. However I realize that that a one man operation is not going to be able to satisfy the constant requests and consistent demand. Therefore I am extremely happy to announce a partnership to expand and improve on the quality and scope of operations by introducing a new alliance to provide touring services throughout Kyushu and Western Japan.
Charles and Jon are fellow Expats, who like me have lived in Japan for over 20 years, work in the University System like myself and are raising children in this wonderful country called the Land of the Rising Sun. Never did I think that I would find someone who could match my level of energy and passion to showcase Japan and its specific regions to the world but I was wrong. These 2 do that and much more and I can truthfully say I would trust them with my life and my kids as well.
Our combined website is called Japan Shore Excursions and you can click on this link to see more about us and our shared philosophy.

One of our goals is to be able to fulfill a customers request at all times whether large or small. It could be a short 5 or 6 hour day tour or multiple Shore Excursions with multiple port calls allover Japan. With this partnership, we will be more flexible to help match and provide excellent touring solutions to an eagar and demanding public.
These are the regions that we are specializing in at present:
1) Kyushu: Focusing on the main ports of Fukuoka, Nagasaki, Kumamoto, Beppu, Miyazaki and Kagoshima.
