Japan

I’m an instructor of sushi making for foreign travelers and got the national license as a tour guide last year. Therefore I can provide a guiding for Tsukiji/Omiya fish market and a private lesson for the traditional sushi making for both. If you are interested in bonsai too, travering omiya is a perfect idea since I can provide for all these. I hope I have a chance to help you for unforgetable Japan travel experience.

I live in Yokohama, Kanagawa prefecture. I have a license to teach in high schools and was admitted to the degree of Master of Arts in Teaching English as a Second Language in the University of Birmingham. Until 2015 I had been teaching English at public high schools in Kanagawa for 37 years. During that time, I had some experience of guiding students from overseas through sister-school relationship around Tokyo and Kanagawa. Therefore, I had good command of English with the TOEIC score of 935. As for a tour guide experience I earned the certificate of National Government Licensed Guide-Interpreter in English and since then I have guided tourists to the popular sites around Tokyo, Yokohama, Kamakura and Yokosuka. My guiding focuses on introducing not only Japanese historical and cultural backgrounds but also giving tourists some tips to travel Japan only by themselves, such as how to use trains and subways, find good restaurants, reserve tickets, buy survenier, and speak basic Japanese. In addition, my tour includes opportunities to experience Japanese culture like Zen meditation, ninja performance, visiting anime's location sites based on tourists' request. Besides, by means of my hobbies of writing English Haiku and Waka (traditional Japanese poems) and performing Rakugo (traditional Japanese funny story telling) in English, I can surely entertain tourists during the tour. My moto as a tour guide is let the tourists have a once-in-a-lifetime experience in Japan with my profound, intelligible and interestiog guiding.

Hi! Welcome to Japan. My name is Shoji Kitamura, a licensed English-speaking tour guide. Please call me Shoji that is the same sound as a sliding screen made of wood and paper you may have seen in a traditional Japanese room. I was born and raised in Yokohama next to Tokyo but lived for work in several beautiful and historical cities such as Nikko, Hiroshima, and Ise which have world heritage sites and/or national park. I fully enjoyed the nature, culture and lives in each city where I lived. I retired after 36 years with a national research institute of fisheries in 2016. During my career, I visited 5 continents except Antarctica, more than 20 nations for attending international scientific conferences, conducting collaborative research or teaching some technologies, etc. In Japan, I often took foreign scientists and government officers sightseeing. I had great times in these opportunities. Such experiences made me decide to become a licensed English-speaking guide interpreter after retirement to introduce Japanese nature, culture, foods, etc. properly to many tourists coming to Japan from all over the world. For more than 20 years I’ve been living in Nikko, which is located about 150km north of Tokyo, and designated as a World Heritage site and a National Park. If you consider a day trip from Tokyo, I strongly recommend coming to Nikko by 2-hour train ride from Tokyo. I am looking forward to showing you around in this historical and beautiful town. Besides Nikko, I can also guide you in Yokohama, my home town, and in neighboring city such as Tokyo and Kamakura.

If you're looking for a local guide who'll help meet all your Tokyo dreams come true, you're looking at the right place! Tell me all the things you want to experience, eat, buy, etc. and I'll create a special itinerary just for you! Also, we'll be using public trains and busses, so you can experience how locals live their everyday life in Tokyo :) I've lived abroad (Australia and Belgium) for half of my life, but after coming back to Japan I realized how beautiful my country was, and started my career as a local guide. With me, you'll be able to visit restaurants and shops that only locals know, experience public transportation just like a local (trust me, they're super complicating...!), and discover new facts about Tokyo which aren't written in guide books! Your wish can be super vague, such as; "I want to experience Pokemon related facilities" or "I want to eat Japanese food that's not usually seen in typical guide books" Also, I don't want you to miss out any fun or waste time by getting in trouble. Here are some troubles I hear often when people visit Japan. - A lot of Japanese people are super kind but often times they can't speak English at all - The trains and busses are extremely confusing - There are too many people in stations, shops, etc - It's super easy to get lost - Some shops need reservations but they don't make that clear - The English menu is hard to understand With me, you won't encounter any of these troubles, and be able to travel safely ;) Let me make your Tokyo trip a super memorial day in your life!

I’m so excited to have a chance to show you around my favorite spots in Kanagawa prefecture. I was born in Kanagawa. I spent my whole school life, including university, here in Kanagawa. I worked as a high school English teacher here for 40 years. I love Kanagawa so much. We have many interesting tourist spots, like Hakone, Kamakura, Enoshima and Yokohama. I got my tour guide license in English in 2009. I am still an English teacher. To give an interesting and impressive lesson to young high school students, I’ve learnt and gathered many kinds of information. I also have a license to teach social studies, so I have a wide range of knowledge about Japanese culture and history. I’m sure to provide you an interesting tour.

Travelling is a great thing to do. Learning about other cultures and customs expands our perspectives in life. I would like to share with you Japanese culture and history. First, please allow me to introduce myself. I’m a full-time national licensed tour guide. I studied Japanese Art History when I was a student at a university, Tokyo. I experienced working at multinational companies for more than 20 years and worked as a travel coordinator for years. I have been conducting private tours around Tokyo for more than 200 times and received excellent reviews from my guests. I usually offer a tailor-made tour upon the request of my customers. One thing that I love to do is letting my guests experience the old things and modern things in Tokyo. I have been providing tours to major sightseeing spots, including Asakusa, Imperial Palace, Meiji Shrine, Ginza, Shibuya, etc. As one of my hobbies is appreciation of Art works, I specialize art tours visiting traditional and contemporary art galleries. Everyone loves Tokyo. The people are polite, the food is incredible, the cultural heritage sites are stunning, and the shopping is one of the best in the world. So I'm sure that your stay here will be memorable and fun. Let’s enjoy Tokyo together.

Hi, I'm Daiki. I am a DJ and used to live in Toronto and London. I also traveled around the world for over 10 years and now I'm in Japan to help you travel around in Japan! I speak both English and Japanese and available to work in Tokyo and Kanagawa as a guide. I will be the guy if you are looking for some great night-life experiences especially clubs and bars in Tokyo. Also definitely available for finding your favourite restaurant as well. I'm currently based in Miura City which is one of the most famous areas in Japan for fresh Tuna called "Misaki Maguro". A lot of my clients say something like... "I've had tuna before but I didn't know how real good tuna tastes like until I eat this tuna" haha I love Japanese history so I will be able to give you additional information and explain so you would understand things deeply. I will help create an unforgettable experience in Japan and so excited to see you!

Mai N.

Japan

Hi, I'm Mai. I have several years of experience as a volunteer guide and I've lived in Finland for half a year. Besides being a guide,I also study architecture as a hobby over the past several years. That’s why I registered on this platform to create an original tour featuring architecture and latest trends for local. Historical Japanese structures such as World Heritage is amazing, but Japan has many wonderful contemporary structures like shrines and museums, which is designed by various architects. I hope to show them with my tour. I was born in Hokkaido and it's been about 10 years since I moved to Tokyo area. I have always had a strong admiration for Tokyo, and have been exploring various attractive spots around the city. That's why I'll not only guide you to the main tourist spots ,but also arrange unique experience according to your preference :) ===== Traveling gives me a chance to get to know how other people live, their culture, and discovering new places . This is why I work as a guide, my goal is to give guests a real "local experience"--like what I've experienced on my travels so far. Don't worry if you are not good at English. Unfortunately, I can only speak Japanese and English, but I will do my best to make your tour as satisfying as possible using gestures and various other ideas. Hope to see you soon!

Nice to meet you. I am Koichi. History and culture attract me. So, I have enjoyed making a communication with foreign visitors since 2019. I can arrange your tour based on you request and curiosity. It will be original for you in the world. For example, if you are interested in bonsai, I can take you to Bonsai village. Because I have learned it for seven years. Look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.

Hi! My name is Doni and I am from Tokyo, Japan. I was born and raised in the Philippines but decided to be with my family in Japan 11 years ago hence, I am currently residing in Tokyo after doing further studies in Japanese language and Engineering. I worked as a CAD designer in Tokyo for 8 years while doing tour guiding as a side hustle. This year, I decided to focus my time and energy on tour guiding as I realized that guiding is really my passion. I graduated in hotel and tourism management in the Philippines and it helped me provide the travel services appropriate for tourists who want to immerse themselves in Japanese culture. I believe with my experience as a foreigner living in Japan, I will be able to provide a different perspective on the culture and life in the land of the rising sun. I have already conquered 33 out of 47 prefectures of Japan and I wish to explore more and share this wonderful experience of cultural immersion with all of you!

Japan

¡Hola! Soy MICHI, una fotógrafa amante de los viajes que habla español. Nací en Saitama, al oeste de Tokio, y crecí rodeada de naturaleza. Desde pequeña, me han interesado los países extranjero y me encanta explorar lugares hermosos y ciudades emocionantes. Estudié inglés en la universidad y me gradué en Literatura Inglesa. Trabajé en una empresa en el departamento de ventas internacionales utilizando inglés, pero decidí dejar el trabajo porque quería ver más del mundo. Viví un año en Seattle, Estados Unidos, donde descubrí el encanto del español hablado por personas de origen hispano. Me fascinaba el sonido de la lengua española. Al regresar a Japón, obtuve la certificación como profesora de japonés y me mudé a México, un país donde siempre había soñado hablar español. Trabajé como profesora de japonés y, fascinada por la belleza del paisaje mexicano, comencé a tomar fotografías. Finalmente viví allí durante casi 10 años. De nuevo en Japón, después de mi larga estancia en el extranjero, me di cuenta de la belleza de mi propio país y obtuve la certificación como guía turística para presentar Japón a los visitantes extranjeros. Mientras recorría todo Japón, tomé muchas fotos de paisajes (Algunas de las cuales exhibí en mi primera exposición en Tokio este verano, con gran éxito). Hace 6 años, decidí emprender y convertir mi pasión en mi trabajo. Durante la pandemia, con el aumento de emprendedores, perfeccioné mis habilidades como fotógrafa y he tomado más de 500 retratos. Después de la pandemia, he estado guiando y fotografiando a viajeros de habla hispana en Japón. Espero seguir capturando maravillosos recuerdos en Japón a través de mis fotografías. Estoy especialmente emocionada de compartir la belleza de Japón con visitantes de habla hispana. ¡Nos vemos en Japón!

“ Exactly what I was looking for. ”

It’s hard to put into words but it was exactly what I was looking for. We had lunch at what I could only describe as a Japanese diner. We stopped at a fruit store and had persimmon, cut and sliced for us by the owner. We had drip over coffee prepared with a kind smile by a wonderful person. And met a man who is the 11th generation chopstick craftsman in a small shop down a street you would never find on your own. These are just a few highlights. From start to finish, from point to point, we casually darted in and out of alleys and side streets avoiding the tourists path, seeing things you would not otherwise see. Off the beaten path and so well scripted, like a story with Akira as the narrator. Sure we passed through some touristy areas but it felt more like a brief moment between what was really special, like taking the train, just a pause on the actual tour. Not only was Akira knowledgeable, finding these places was what he enjoyed and you could tell. He shared with me not only the special places he had found along the way but the great people as well. A side of Japan that, thanks to Akira, I will never forget. I will forever be grateful. Thank you Akira.

Akira N.

Dear Daniel, Thank you so much for the great review. I am so happy to know that the tour was what exactly what you are looking for. And I would like to thank you so much for describing what my tour is like which I often have had hard times do so. I take my clients to many places. Some of them are popular tourists sites, which I think is okay and I personally go many of them time to time, and some of them are not touristy, more local neighborhoods. No matter where I take my clients to, I am always wishing that the tour gives a sense of what it is like to be a local and with discovery and fun. One of the precious moment for me as a guide is when such wish come true, what I am feeling from your review. I try to show this capital city I know and things you hear from me will be filtered by me, local that living in this city for almost 40 years. I am so happy to see that it worked for you to understand my country, my city, and my people. It is always my joy to guide thoughtful, honest, and kind people like you. Thank you so much for having me as your guide and thank you so much for letting me be as a part of your memorable Japan trip. I am looking forward to another chance to explore my loving city together. Sincerely, Akira

I recommend Ms. Keiko as an diligent and informative private guide. She is incredibly dedicated and responsive, always making sure to answer any questions or concerns I had before and during the tour. On the day of the tour, she was punctual and provided us with interesting information about daily living habits throughout the journey.

Thank you very much for your wonderful review of my tour. I am so happy to know that you are satisfied with my tour. You made the itinerary based on your clear preferences, food and culture experiences. You tasted a lot of food including seasonal fruits such as big grape( sunshine muscat grape), pink strawberry, kinkan(small orange), kaki(perssimon), while you visited traditional places. I hope you could come back to Japan to taste other seasonal food and culture. Arigato !!

Thank you for the kind review! I was wondering how your rest of the trip like ? It was such a tough tour just after arrival. Still, you were all patient and cooperative. I really appreciate it. Please come back to Japan someday because there is more to see. Thank you again and take care!
