Tokyo Private Tours & Local Tour Guides

“Great tour”

Atsuko is an excellent guide. She met me in my hotel and brought me to all places I wanted to visit. She also suggested places that were certainly worth the visit. Atsuko is full of energy, very outgoing, kind and respectful. I felt like I was having a day out with an old friend of mine. I'm extremely grateful for her showing Tokyo for me.

Thank you for such a great review Luciana! I had a very pleased day with you yesterday. I'm glad that you enjoyed my tour. I also really enjoyed talking with you. You taught me many interesting things about the differences between our countries. Thank you very much! I hope to see you again someday. Please say hello to your family from Tokyo Japan.

“The Perfect Guide for Our First Trip to Tokyo!”

Ritsuko was absolutely AMAZING! We booked her for our very first full day in Tokyo, and I’m so glad we did. She was incredibly knowledgeable, gracious, flexible, and accommodating, and she made us feel comfortable from the moment we met her. What I appreciated most was that she didn’t just show us Tokyo—she helped us understand how to navigate it! She taught us how to use the trains, answered all of our questions, shared helpful cultural tips, and truly helped us get acclimated. Because of our day with Ritsuko, we felt so much more confident exploring Tokyo on our own for the rest of our trip. She adjusted the day to our interests, never made us feel rushed, and was simply a joy to spend the day with. If this is your first trip to Tokyo, BOOK RITSUKO! I cannot recommend her highly enough. She truly helped make our first day—and the rest of our Tokyo adventure—so much better!

“Great tour highly recommend ”

Jaime was absolutely brilliant and made the day work perfectly for us and the kids. He had a great knowledge of anime, Pokémon and Japanese gaming culture, which was exactly what the boys were interested in. He took us to some fantastic arcades, including a place with American-style baseball batting cages, which the kids had never tried before and absolutely loved. What really stood out was how involved Jaime was throughout the day. He joined in with the kids on the arcade games, helped them understand some of the characters and gaming culture, and made everything feel relaxed and fun rather than like a formal tour. He also introduced us to some more unusual Japanese food and explained what everything was, while being sensible about choosing things the kids would actually enjoy rather than pushing us into anything too extreme. Overall, a really enjoyable and memorable day. I would highly recommend Jaime, particularly for families with children who are into anime, Pokémon, gaming, arcades, claw machines and Japanese pop culture. He was knowledgeable, flexible, great with the kids and genuinely added a lot to our time in Tokyo.
