Popular Tokyo Tour Guides

Mutoh T.

I’m mutoh, licensed tour guide. I’ve been working at Tokyo for more than 30 years, and started this tour guide job.I love traveling, music, food, and drinking. As for traveling, I’ve been to 38 countries so far and I think I know what tourist wants to do. I really hope to help you to enjoy your once in a life time event. Anyway I’m looking forward to seeing you in Japan!

Kaneo U.

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 more than 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.

Grant A.

Important note: I am currently not able to take new customers after the end of March, 2026. My name is Grant, and I’ve spent over a decade living and exploring Japan. Originally from Omaha, Nebraska, I first came to Japan as a high school exchange student in Inuyama, a historic castle town in Aichi. My love for Japan began early—sparked by childhood games like Pokémon that were released in Japanese before English. That early curiosity grew into a lifelong passion for Japanese language, culture, and history. I hold an N2 on the Japanese Language Proficiency Test, a degree in Asian Studies from a Tokyo university, and I graduated from the Japan Visual Media Translation Academy. I’ve visited all 47 prefectures and explored a wide range of historical sites, shrines, and castles throughout the country. My background in Japanese history helps me provide context that brings depth and meaning to the places we visit—whether it's understanding a centuries-old temple in Kyoto, the story behind a castle ruin, or uncovering the historical layers of a Tokyo neighborhood. If you’re planning to explore Tokyo, here are some tour options to consider: One day in Tokyo? The Ginza Line Tour offers a great introduction to the city’s highlights. Two days? Pair the East Tokyo Tour and West Tokyo Tour to get a well-rounded experience. Interested in anime? The Anime Tour is flexible and can be tailored to match your specific interests. For those looking to go beyond the city, I also offer day trips to Nikko, Kamakura, and other nearby destinations. Full-Day Tour: 40,000 yen (8 hours) Full-Day Tour Outside of Tokyo: 40,000 yen + transportation Feel free to get in touch to plan a tour that fits your interests and travel plans.

KONNICHIWA! I am Rene. I studied commerce and marketing at university and have already graduated. I also studied abroad in France, where I was deeply inspired by the positivity and openness of people from different cultures. Through that experience, I discovered the joy of connecting with others beyond language and cultural barriers. Now, as a guide in Japan, I hope to share the authentic beauty and warmth of this country with visitors from around the world, while supporting and inspiring them during their journey!!!

Hallo alle meine Gäste! Vielen lieben Dank, dass Sie meine Profilseite besuchen! Ich heiße Ayami. Ich bin in Osaka geboren, aber in Yokohama aufgewachsen. Ich habe in Tokyo studiert, deswegen kenne ich mich gut auch in dieser Gegend aus. An der Uni habe ich Germanistik studiert. Mein erstes Mal in Deutschland war 2012, als ich Studentin war, und damals habe ich einen Monat in München einen Deutschkurs gemacht. Da habe ich viel erlebt und erfahrt und war total begeistert für die deutsche Kultur, Sitten, einfach alles, natürlich Leute auch :) Nach dem Studium bin ich nach Deutschland (München und Augsburg) geflogen, um richtig Deutsch zu lernen. In den Schulzeiten habe ich viele Erfahrungen in der Gastronomie gesammelt. In Deutschland habe ich als Kellnerin in einem japanischen Restaurant und Japanischlehrerin gearbeitet. Aktuell bin ich auch private Japanischlehrerin (ich habe auch einen Vertrag mit der amerikanischen Marine) und gelegentlich Reiseführerin. Mein Hobbies sind Reisen, Lesen, Kochen, etwas Süßes backen usw. Ich würde Sie sehr gerne Tokyo bzw Yokohama oder Kamakura und Yokosuka zeigen :)

Je vis et sillonne le pays depuis le mois de décembre 2024, aujourd'hui, de retour à Tokyo, j'accompagne des groupes de visiteurs francophones dans cette capitale pour les guider à travers les buildings et leur conter la fabuleuse histoire du pays du soleil levant. « Vous avez peut-être de nombreuses questions : C'est quoi un yukata ?

“The best guide ever!!”

Tsutomu san treated us like family, like ohana. He was patient, kind, playful, and extraordinarily hospitable!! He accommodated our age ranges and physical limitations. Tsutomu-san also went way above and beyond to entertain and play with my children, engage our papa in wonderful conversation, and ensure we were comfortable and supported. We could not have asked for a better or more warm and welcoming person to take us around Tokyo. It was truly a pleasure and we’ve made a dear friend!!! Uncle Tsutomu-san is the best (littelest kid, age 3)

Tokyo Private & Custom Local Guide Tour – 1-Day Luxury Experience

“Convenient Ride with a Friendly Driver”

Kota was extremely kind and very easy to be around, and having a private car to get to each location was definitely convenient and enjoyable. We appreciated his friendliness and willingness to help, and he truly was a super nice guy. That said, the experience felt more like a chauffeur service than a guided tour. We often had to ask for information at each stop, and there was limited background or explanation provided about the places we visited. At times, it felt like we were sharing more about life in the USA with him than learning about Japan from him. Overall, we enjoyed meeting Kota and valued the convenience of the car, but for the price we were hoping for a more informative and immersive tour experience. He is a wonderful person, and with more guiding and local insight, this could be an even better experience!

Kota A.

Dear Madison, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your honest and thoughtful review. I truly appreciate your openness and the effort you took to leave your feedback. At the same time, I’m sorry that the tour did not fully meet your expectations. Your comments are taken seriously and will be used as valuable input as I continue to improve both the content of the tours and the overall experience for future guests. If you ever have the opportunity to visit Japan again, I would be more than happy to welcome you on another tour! I would love the chance to offer you an experience that better matches what you were hoping for. Should you have any additional questions or feedback, please feel free to reach out at any time. Thank you again for your valuable insights. Kota

Mt. Fuji Highlights & Shopping (Private Car Tour)

“Excellent and outstanding ”

Availed Lynn’s private tour for our one day trip to Mt Fuji. Highly professional in her work and provided us with excellent service and even happy to help us out of her way too. She is very accommodative in modifying the tour as per our need. Highly recommend.
