Goodwill Guides (Volunteer Guides)
Goodwill Guides are volunteer guides in Japan. They are all registered with the Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO). The Goodwill Guide campaign was launched at the Tokyo Olympics in 1964 by JNTO. Since then, 56,000 Goodwill Guides have been registered with JNTO. These Goodwill Guides are assisting overseas visitors.
SGG (Systematized Goodwill Guide)
Many Goodwill Guides have founded Systematized Goodwill Guide (SGG) groups in their local areas. SGG groups, comprising mostly retirees, housewives and students, are engaged in a variety of volunteer activities using their foreign language skills. In Japan, there are SGG groups and most of them offer foreign tourists from overseas free local tours guided in English and other languages.
