I was born and grew up in Yokohama. I used to work in Tokyo for more than 20 years. I became the National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter in English in 2013. At first, I had attended a volunteer group which provided a tour of the Imperial Palace East Gardens until 2015. I guided more than fifty times in the garden as a volunteer and studied about Japanese history and culture. Based on this experience, I became a tour guide of this online site in 2015. Since then, I have guided more than 500 tours in Tokyo as well as Yokohama, Kamakura, Hakone, Kyoto, Nikko, etc., while improving my tours. My tours are very flexible and I always do my best to customize them according to the interests of my guests. I studied about the places and will provide you knowledge to appreciate them more deeply than just visiting there by yourself or a member of group tours. I like foods and I know many restaurants which provide typical Japanese lunch with reasonable price without waiting too long. Therefore, I am sure that I can provide you the best tours customized to your interests. It will be my great pleasure to help you to enjoy your stay in Japan. So please be my guest!!

My hobby is travel, taking photos, watching sports, etc. I have visited more than thirty countries on business or vacation. While I was in overseas countries, I encountered a lot of troubles.

My name is YUKIKO. I'm a Licensed Tour Guide and a Registered Nurse. I've worked as a guide since 2015. I've been doing virtual experience on Amazon and for company's events since 2020. It's definitely a great step for myself and keeping my guiding skills for the last couple of years. I live in Tokyo. Thanks to increasing the number of repeat, referred and new clients, tour guide is my main job. I am a mother of 10 years old girl so that I'd be glad to welcome families with young children as well. I used to teach Japanese cultures to elementary students from Kindergarten to Grade 6 at local and private elementary schools when I lived in Canada, United states, and New Zealand. My happiest moments with these children were when they look forward to another lesson every week. All lessons were customized and prepared after discussing with each classroom teacher. It was a challenging job, but this experience broaden my horizon and prompted me to become an English tour guide. I have a license of Registered Nurse and a Medical interpreter.  I've still worked as a nurse during the off- tourism season so that I've kept a medical back ground. There are some common thinking between Tour guide and Nurse, both jobs are required to put myself into their shoes. I'll make plans considering their physical conditions and will arrange any supports after discussing about the tour.  I've already experienced to do several tours for mobility challenged clients who have intractable disease and have a difficulty for a long walking. Mobility challenged customers (cane/wheelchair) are always welcomed.   I'd love to make your trip meaningful and unforgettable. Please feel free to contact with me anytime.    I'm looking forward to meeting you in my tour! Arigatou!

Hello, I'm HIDEo YOSHIda. Please call me HIDEYOSHI, the same name as the famous shogun who built the Osaka Castle in 1585. I was born in Kobe and worked in Osaka for nearly 40 years. I would like to introduce the Kansai region to you ,including Kobe, Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, and Wakayama. Kobe is one of the two largest ports in Japan, along with Yokohama. After the opening of the Port of Kobe in 1868, foreigners built their residences on the hillside of the Kitano-cho area, overlooking the ocean. Many of the foreign residences are now open to the public as museums, including the Weathercock House, with it's symbol weathercock on the triangle-shaped roof. In Meriken Park, the red Port Tower (the city's landmark), creates a beautiful contrast against the white Kobe Marine Museum. The museum's design was inspired by the waves and sailing ships. When you have a chance to visit Osaka, please join my tour. I'm sure you'll enjoy the interesting and historical, scenic spots. For example, Shin-Sekai is a downtown area with a strange mix of nostalgic atmosphere and contemporary energy. You can try local foods (kushikatsu, sushi, tempura) at a reasonable price. Billiken (a famous statue of the spirit of luck) will be waiting for you!!. Dotombori is a popular street with a lot of flashy signboards. Osaka is widely known as a "Kuidaore-no-machi", or literally "drinking and eating luxuriously to death." Osaka Castle was built by Toyotomi HIDEYOSHI in 1585. Oh, it's my residence, isn't it ! These days "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter" area in USJ, or Universal Studios Japan, is also attracting more and more people. I'll be looking forward to seeing you !!

Derek V.

Japan

Hello everybody! My name is Derek. I'm an American living in Tokyo. I have lived here for a long time and can speak Japanese. I also have a unique insight into "Otaku" culture here in Tokyo. Specifically, I can help you enjoy such things as the best maid cafes in Tokyo, Idol live events, music events (including taking you to the craziest venue with the craziest and most insane live events in all of Japan, and maybe even the world), and more. If you like anime, videogames, and manga, I can show you some of the best places in Akihabara, Shibuya, and Shinjuku to have a great time doing something that isn't your normal kind of tour that you see a lot of expats doing here in Tokyo. I won't take you to traditional tourists spots, but more "off the beaten path" and unusual places. I guarantee what I am offering to show you in Tokyo, NOBODY else is going to show you.

Mika S.

Japan

My name is Mika, a local guide living in Takamatsu city. I have been an English teacher, but the Setouchi International Art Festival awakened me to the joy of guiding. The more I learn about the Seto Inland Sea region, the more I am impressed by its life, history, architecture and art works. So, I would like to show you the spectacular scenery that you may have missed in guidebooks alone, and the sights that have yet to be introduced in guidebooks. In Kagawa Prefecture, island tours are also very popular, such as Naoshima, Teshima, and Inujima, which are sacred places for contemporary art, and I think you can better understand the connection between the history of the islands and art by touring with a guide. Of course, I would also like to introduce fresh harvest from the Seto Inland Sea, delicious local food, and shopping for folk crafts in the Takamatsu shopping arcade, which will satisfy you fully as a highlight of your journey.

Hello! I'm Nozomi. I was working in the tourism industry in Tokyo for 30+ years, then I moved to Nagoya and worked as college professor teaching tourism and English for 10 years, and just retired from teaching March 2023. Nagoya is the prefectural capital of Aichi and you may have an image that Nagoya is an industrial city but it’s not just that. Nagoya is the city with varied attractions. This region is the cradle of the three most famous Samurai lords from the 16th century and there are lots of interesting historic sites and stories. Nagoya is a member of UNESCO creative cities and it is certified as City of Design. It hosts annual World Cosplay Summit which is participated by fabulous Cosplayers from around the world. I love to explore art and craft, pottery towns, local specialty food, fermentation tourism (sake, soy sauce, miso, mirin, etc.) , traditional festivals and hot spring, so I’d be especially delighted to show such things to my guests!

Japan Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best month to tour Japan?

The best month to tour Japan depends on what you're interested in seeing and doing. Here are a few suggestions based on popular activities and events:

• Cherry blossom season: Late March to early April is a popular time to visit Japan because of the cherry blossom (sakura) season. This is when the cherry blossom trees all over Japan are in full bloom and the country is filled with pink and white flowers.

• Autumn foliage season: Late October to early November is another popular time to visit Japan because of the autumn foliage season. This is when the leaves of the trees change color and create a beautiful contrast with the clear blue skies.

• Summer festivals: June to August is a good time to visit Japan if you're interested in experiencing the many summer festivals that take place all over the country. These festivals, known as "matsuri," often feature traditional music, dancing, and food.

• Winter festivals: December to February if you're interested in experiencing the country's winter festivals and events, such as the Sapporo Snow Festival in Hokkaido. This is also a good time to visit Japan if you love skiing or snowboarding, as many of the country's ski resorts are open during this time and the snow conditions are typically good.

No matter what time of year you visit, our tours offer the perfect combination of relaxation and new experiences in Japan. Book your tour today and discover all that this incredible country has to offer! Check our Japan private tours.
