Kon-ni-chi-wa. Hello! I'm Kaori, having lived in Tokyo for more than 20 years since I got married to a photographer who lives here. Originally from Shizuoka prefecture which has Mt.Fuji, the highest mountain in Japan. I took 2 working-holiday-visa stays in my younger days. One is in Toronto, Canada, and another is Australia touring by motorcycle. One year respectively. I love travel both international and domestic. That's why I love helping individual travelers rather than group tours, because I myself love travel freely. Love nature, gardens, trekking, greenery, also anime. My favorite is taking you to the off-the-beaten tracks where I love. As a national government licensed guide, I've got deep knowledge of Japanese culture and history. I really enjoy talking about the way of life with people from different cultures. We see what you like and talk what you are interested in. That's my style. If you don't know what to want, I can help you with that. I'm happy to make tailor-made tours only for you (up to 4 people) upon your request. ・Half Day as you like (up to 4 hours) : 40,000 JPY ・Full Day as you like (up to 8 hours) : 64,000 JPY ・Extra hour over 8hours : 6,000 JPY/hour I'm quite an outgoing person, ( but organized well! ), easy to get along with anybody, including small kids to teenagers. Can't wait to see you soon!

Hello, I'm Hiroshi. I am a National Government Licensed Tour Guide Interpreter in English. I have got a master's degree in Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in the U.S. I have been living in a city of Fujisawa, which is the city next to Kamakura, for more than 20 years, and also lived in Kamakura for more than 10 years. So far, I have visited almost all the temples and shrines in Kamakura. So I am sure I can offer you a pleasant trip to the historical city, Kamakura. In addition to Kamakura, I can also guide Tokyo, Yokohama, Hakone, Nikko, etc. because I have visited many places in Kanto area. For example, in Tokyo I can show you around the sightseeing spots such as Asakusa, Tsukiji, Imperial Palace, Meiji Shrine, Tokyo Skytree, etc. I like baseball and used to play baseball, but now enjoy watching professional baseball games. And I like watching Rakugo, Japanese traditional story-telling performance. Of course, I also like travelling very much, and am interested in Japanese culture and history. So I would like to show you Japanese tradition and culture. Let’s enjoy a trip in Japan together. I am looking forward to seeing you soon.

“Excellent guide and experience ”
We had the pleasure of exploring Nikko, Japan, with Keiichiro I. as our tour guide, and it was an unforgettable experience. Keiichiro’s deep knowledge of Nikko’s history, culture, and hidden gems brought each site to life with extraordinary insights we never would have discovered on our own. His professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail made the entire day seamless and enjoyable. Thanks to Keiichiro, our visit to Nikko was not just sightseeing, but a meaningful journey we’ll always cherish. Highly recommended!
Keiichiro I.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Candice san. It was truly a pleasure for me to guide you and your husband through the beautiful sights of Nikko. I deeply enjoyed spending the day with you both, sharing the history, culture, and hidden gems of this special place. What makes me happiest is knowing that you enjoyed the experience — that is the greatest reward for me as a guide. I hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again to Japan in the future!

“Great day in Nikkō ”
Our drive was prompt, courteous and safe. I don’t think we could have seen as much as we did without him. He kept us informed of how long to spend at each site and suggested when we should leave. We even squeezed in an extra stop at the end. Arrived back in Tokyo almost exactly 10 hours after we left.

Thank you so much for your kind feedback! We’re delighted to hear that you had a smooth, enjoyable, and efficient day with our driver. We truly appreciate your trust and hope to welcome you again on your next visit to Japan!

“Great time. ”
I had a great experience with Jack. His English ability is exceptional. His knowledge is also exceptional. I was by myself and the tour was worth every penny. His tour was good way to get an understanding of Nikko so when o go back I can create my own adventure.
