Tour guide in Sasebo Joshua G.

Hello! My name is Josh, and I’m a Californian living in Itoshima, Japan. I’ve lived in Asia since 2007, including twelve years in Shanghai, China, and more recently, in Japan. My main job is photography of all kinds: school photos in Asia, the Middle East, and the U.S., lifestyle and travel photos all over Kyushu, Japan, surprise proposal and family shoots in Fukuoka, and occasional events. When I’m not shooting, I work as a tour guide, both as a private guide around Kyushu and assisting large groups of travelers on chartered buses. I mainly work with kids and young adults, but older travelers have also used my services. I absolutely love showing people around Japan. Introducing people to the gorgeous natural scenery, providing helpful tips on blending into Japanese society while they’re here, sharing a little history, and explaining the significance of each place we visit are all aspects I love about my job. Come explore Kyushu with me and perhaps I’ll bring my camera and take some amazing shots for you!
