Today
Hello, everyone!! My name is Yukihiro, call me "HERO". I'm eager to introduce this unique country, Japan to foreign guests. I am not a professional interpreter. I have retired from Japan Ground Self-Defense Force(JGSDF=Japanese Army) on March 2018.
大家好! 我名字叫xing2 bo2, 請叫我xing bo(行博)。我喜歡跟外國遊客分享這個很有意思的國家---日本國。我是個業餘的翻譯導遊, 不太專業, 在2018年3月我退休了日本陸上自衛隊(日本陸軍)。
I have spent most of my career as a Army NCO(Non-commissioned officer) . My job experiences are only in the military, but there are variety of specialties, so I didn't feel boredom. I lived in many places all over Japan, such as Hokkaido 10years, Chiba 15years, Okinawa 8years and more places.
我在軍隊當陸軍士官過了大部分的生活。我的工作經驗只在軍隊內,但是它有很多兵種和工作,所以我沒有膩了。我住過日本各地的很多地方,例如北海道10年,千葉縣15年,沖繩8年還有別的有些地方。
I am working for a half of month in Okinawa, and the rest of month in Nagasaki as a Triple Lights interpreter tour guide.
我一邊在沖繩縣大概半個月, 一邊在九州長崎周邊當Triple Lights的翻譯導游工作剩餘的月。
I am registered as a Okinawa prefectural interpreter tour guide (English & Chinese), but don't have a whole Japan certification. So I am brushing my skill up to get it.
我登記了沖繩縣的地域翻譯導遊(英/中文),可是沒有全國的。所以為了獲得全國導遊資格,我正在繼續學外語。
I speak English, Chinese (simplify & traditional) , no problem to guide you, not like a native though.
我會說英語和中文(簡/繁),作為您的導游沒問題,沒有母語的人那麼好。
My guiding rate is 5,000 JPY hourly (up to 4 pax) and 6,000 JPY hourly (5 to 8 pax), and a Meet-up fee (the Guide's transportation fee back and forth to the meeting spot) is 4,000 JPY (in Naha). For example, an 8-hour tour for 4 pax costs 40,000 JPY plus 4,000 JPY; the tour price is 44,000 JPY. You pay for this when you book the tour.
Please remember you will pay for the admission of pay facilities and meals on-site.
We need to rent a suitable size rental car (4 to 10 pax) or hire a Jumbo Taxi (8 pax max) for our transportation. The rental car and taxi costs vary depending on the conditions, so my published tour price doesn't include rental car and taxi costs.
After negotiating the tour, I will fix the car-related price and add it to the tour price so that you know the total cost before booking it.
My coverage areas are all over Okinawa Pref., including remote islands. But I live on the main island, so my starting and ending points are normally on the main island. Or I will go to meet you on a remote island. In this case, you will pay for my transportation to and from the remote island.
Additionally, I work in Okinawa and Nagasaki, for about half a month each. If you intend to travel to northern Kyushu, such as Nagasaki, Saga, and Fukuoka, visit my Nagasaki account page. There is also my schedule calendar for those areas.
Hero is an excellent guide with flexibility to tailor things to suit your specific desires. He provides very clear guidance and information with a wide range of knowledge. A pleasure to be with. Clearly a five star guide.
Yukihiro was knowledgeable, on time and willing to flex with our schedule. Saw castles, gardens and beautiful sea coast in Okinawa. He even helped me find my house i lived in as a child 60 years ago. Would use him again.
Hero was absolutely fantastic! Hero was able to personally rent a vehicle and drive for us … his knowledge and great sense of humor (as well as his great English) let my family ask more questions than I could personally handle! I would whole-heartedly recommend Hero as a tour guide in Okinawa, and I hope to get another chance to meet him in Okinawa in the future! Thanks again Hero!
The communication was easy ans Hero followed my wishes for tour I had. He was opened and friendly, talked several details about places we visited. We were lucky that it wasn’t crowded on that day anywhere we went. Also he helped to find a nice restaurant for my dinner later. All in all I can recommend.
