Hi, my name is HASHIZAKI Schingo (橋崎 晋吾). Just call me Schingo. I have been a freelance English speaking tour guide with a national tour guide’s licence for 10 years since I had passed the national exam in 2013. I was born in 1976 (48 yo) and grew up in Kumamoto, who make tour arrangements and drive my own private car to run guided tours mostly for individual tourists.
I specialise in conducting bespoke private tours in particular as well as regular guided tours.
