Question
I am planning to visit some famous temples in Kyoto and I would love to take a guided tour. How do I ask, “Do you offer guided tours in English?” in Japanese?

Eego de gaido tsuaa wa arimasuka?
Do you offer guided tours in English?
This is a handy phrase for asking about English-guided tours in Japan. “Eego de” means “in English,” “gaido tsuaa” is a “guided tour,” and “arimasuka” is a polite way to ask if something is available.
Feel free to replace “gaido tsuaa” with other services you might be interested in, such as “パンフレット” (panfuretto, brochures) or “オーディオガイド” (oodio gaido, audio guides) depending on what assistance you’re looking for in English.
