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.

Atsushi K.

I have been working for the business with American companies for many years and have many experiences guiding customers from all over the world, from Japan to the USA and Europe. I lived in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, for five years and loved to drive around Europe, the USA, and Japan. I now have a national license as a guiding interpreter and want to introduce Japanese traditional culture to people worldwide who are interested in it. I can be your guide in Tokyo, Yokohama, and Kamakura for your enjoyable time in Japan.

Yoshi S.

Hello, I'm Yoshi!! I started my second career as a tour guide after retiring from the Japanese computer company I had worked for about 40 years. I was born in Asakusa and grew up in down town in Tokyo. I’m married with two daughters and three grandchildren, two girls and a boy. I've experienced guiding international visitors in Tokyo and other famous sightseeing spots as a guide for several years. I will be so happy to help you enjoy your stay in Japan. Look forward to joining my tour!!

Koichiro Y.

Hello! I’m Koichiro. Please call me “Yamasan”. It derives from my family name and my friends call me so. I worked for a machinery company as a project manager and engineer for mechanical and electrical construction projects both domestic and overseas for over 35 years. I recall my first overseas project in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia when I was 26, and the second was in Singapore. I visited many countries for surveys, meetings, commissioning, project handing over, and so on. In 2014 at the age of 60, I decided to retire from the company and live the expected further 30 years of life with a new career and experiences. I, then, studied translation and guide interpretation. I passed the national examination for licensed guides (English) in 2015 and registered with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government in February 2016. Until now, I have been guiding many beautiful guests mainly to popular sightseeing spots such as Asakusa, Tsukiji, Omote-Sando, Meiji Jingu Shrine, and Tokyo Skytree, and also cultural experiences of Origami making, Furoshiki wrapping, and Sushi cooking. I am happy that I can freely arrange a customized tour together with you, or can propose my tours to you. I want to show you some parts of daily Tokyo life and introduce you to Bunkyo City which is located in the heart of Tokyo, just north of Chiyoda City where the Imperial Palace and Tokyo Station are. The city is Tokyo’s typical residential and academic area where I was born, grew up, and live a happy life now. Now, we can tour around the world but have not yet overcome COVID-19 completely. Recently, the number of passengers wearing masks on public transportation in Tokyo reduced to some 25% but we should mind about it still. Please carry your mask to wear it where or when necessary (December 2024, Yamasan).

Agustina .

Hi! My name is Agustina. I’m originally from Argentina, and I’ve been living in Japan for about seven years. I have been working as a tour guide in Tokyo for almost two years, especially in the Asakusa area. During this time, I have guided over 300 walking tours for international visitors, so guiding in Asakusa is something I already do regularly and truly enjoy. In my tours, I like to explain Japanese culture in a clear, friendly, and easy-to-understand way. I focus not only on the history of the places we visit, but also on the meaning behind temples, shrines, traditions, local customs, and everyday life in Japan. I guide in English and Spanish, and I enjoy creating a relaxed experience where guests feel comfortable asking questions. Since my tours are private, I can adapt the pace and explanations to your interests. Whether it is your first time in Tokyo or your first visit to Asakusa, I’ll do my best to make the experience comfortable, interesting, and fun.

Other destinations are also possible — please contact me to discuss your plans. I understand what international travelers value: genuine experiences, personal connection, and the freedom to enjoy Japan at their own pace. A special part of my tours is the photography experience. I’ll capture a mix of natural candid moments and beautiful guided portraits, using natural poses, flattering angles, and carefully chosen locations. After the tour, I’ll send you a private online gallery with a curated selection of professionally edited candid and portrait photos. Please provide an email address so I can send you the gallery link. See you in Japan — let’s explore, have some fun, and capture some great memories!

“Pleasant Guide”

Very pleasant guide and in touch with the "teenage". Had a last minute request to see the $20 dollars strawberry but obvious she did not call ahead to make sure it was there so ran around to two places with no luck. Otherwise all was good and she did a decent job accommodating my daughters mobility issues. Young guide who is good but will develop to be excellent. Very pleasant person.

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave your feedback. I am glad to hear that you and your daughter enjoyed our time together and that I could support her mobility needs during the tour. Regarding the strawberries, as we discussed when you kindly requested the last-minute itinerary change just a few hours before our tour (as all of the original spots had been visited the previous day), it was before opening hours, which made it difficult to call ahead. However, after checking the first store on-site and confirming they had other fresh seasonal fruits, your daughter kindly agreed to check the second location as well. I do apologize for any confusion or lack of clarity during our busy day. Although it was my first experience catering to mobility needs (as I mentioned when I received your first inquiry), I tried my best to accommodate your requests on the go, but I am sorry for any shortcomings. I truly appreciate your valuable advice and will use this experience to improve my services further. Thank you again, and I wish you and your daughter all the best in your future travels.

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

“a fun day in Tokyo”

We had the greatest guide for the day- Kota- he made the day so special for us! He has great listening skills so he made our day one that we couldn't have designed any better. A native of Tokyo, he knows where everything is and how to save drive time, to see more things. We got to do everything we wanted and more. I cannot recommend Kota enough.

Kota A.

Hi Lynn, thank you so much for the wonderful review! The time I spent with both of you was very special to me as well. I’m truly happy that I had the chance to meet you:)) Although the weather wasn’t perfectly clear that day, I hope you enjoyed lunch and exploring some wonderful places! I hope to see you again! Thank you. Kody

“Professional! Smooth Transaction, and flexible with itinerary”

She gave our guests a very memorable and informative tour. Lily is easy to talk to, she is flexible with the itinerary, very keen with details. She reached out days before the tour to discuss the flow of the tour. Hope to book you again with our future bookings.

Dear Del, Thank you so much for sharing this lovely review — it really made my day! I'm so glad the guests had a memorable experience, and I always enjoy taking the time before a tour to plan the flow together, so it's wonderful to hear that came through. Thank you for trusting me with your guests, and I look forward to working with you again soon! Best regards, Lily
