Eddy M.
Hello. My name is Eiichi and my nick name is Eddy. So, please call me Eddy because Eiichi is difficult for visitors to pronounce. I am a licensed guide interpreter certified by Japanese government. I was born and live in Chiba prefecture, which is next to Tokyo and I have worked in Tokyo for more than 20 years. So, I know Chiba and Tokyo very well. My hobby is ceramic art, golf, and Zen meditation, and I like traveling and reading history books. Based on these experience and knowledge, I will introduce Japanese culture and history. I used to work as an engineer for one of major electronic manufacturers which exports communication systems and components to overseas. Through the job, I visited many countries including New Zealand where I fortunately stayed for four years with my family. I have found it fun to communicate with people in other countries. So, after my recent retirement, I started to work as a licensed guide interpreter. I’m looking forward to meeting visitors who are interested in Japanese beautiful nature, unique culture, variety of foods or history.

Narita Tour Reviews
Sandra W.
“Top-notch Temple Tour Guide”
We were delighted to spend the afternoon with Mr. Hideaki exploring the temple & surrounding garden during our layover at Narita. Hideaki was in good touch beforehand, knowledgeable during the sightseeing, & good company over a delicious sushi & grilled eel lunch. It’s well worth your time to take a break from Narita airport & see the cultural treasures so nearby. You’re in great hands with Hideaki.

Pete P.
“Great Transit Day Tour in Narita”
Yoko was amazing showing us around Narita on our 10 hour layover day. She picked us up at the airport, and showed up even before our meeting time. The day happened to be the same day as a festival, lots of people, and she was able to guide our family of four through the crowd with thoughtful stops along the way. She even knew some back roads to get us back to the airport sooner when our group (including our 2 kids) got tired from the entire day in the heat. Overall, a great experience thanks to Yoko-san. We cannot wait to come back to Japan more than just a layover.

Yoko T.
Thank you so much for a great review, Pete san. It was July 6, when the annual town festival was going on. Thanks to that, they had more food stalls than usual. It was a very hot day but you and your wonderful family was so nice that I enjoyed spending time together with all of you. As I said, January and February will be less crowded and I would like to show you the winter sakura so I'll be looking forward to showing Tokyo and other places some day. Thank you again, Yoko
