Being a former student and staff member of the University of Tokyo, I have a natural ability to communicate with people from all corners of the world. Regardless of whether you prefer to speak English, French, or Globish with me ! I have practiced Aikido, Iaido (Katana), and Kyudo (Bow) martial arts, and I have also worked on the restoration of Japanese armor. Therefore, I am well-versed in the art of war in ancient Japan. But my passion for history goes further, and during my guided tours, I will share various anecdotes that will bring ancient Japan to life for you ! I'm also a huge fan of old Japanese video games, especially RPGs, so if you want a true otaku experience, follow me to Nakano Broadway and Akihabara! If you're interested in arranging a tour that's tailored to your preferences, feel free to send me a message !

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).

Welcome to Japan! I'm Shin. I have been an English Guide in Japan more than10 years. I can guide Tokyo, Kanagawa and almost all metropolitan sightseeing and walking spots. I was born in Kobe, grown up in Osaka, and studied in Kyoto, so not only Tokyo but I also have a good knowledge of Japanese historical cities. I love talking about Japanese food & culture, walking quiet narrow streets, drinking tasty Japanese whisky, Sumo, Rugby & Sports, and Japanese mountains. I climbed Mt. Fuji 18 times with foreign guests. We enjoyed the auspicious moments of sunrising from the summit. I would like to support you to make your stay in Japan memorable and precious one. It is grateful if you refer to my proposed tour schedule, in the case you have your own interests, I am happy to tailor the tour schedule responding your requests. Please feel free to contact me. I look forward to sharing wonderful time in Japan with you. Be my guest!

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.

Camille L.
Bonjour et enchantée, je suis Camille ! (« Kamiiyu », en japonais) Passionnée par l'histoire, l'art et la culture japonaise depuis ma plus tendre enfance, j'ai décidé de franchir le cap et de vivre un an au Japon. 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 ? Temple bouddhiste et sanctuaire shintoïste, quelle est la différence ? On dit "Geiko" ou "Geisha" ? C'est quoi du "Kabuki" ? Quels sont les spécialités culinaires ici ? JE VEUX TOUT GOÛTER !!! Un samouraï, un shogun, un empereur, ... quesaco ?! Et si je suis un vrai "Otaku", passionnée de manga ou d'anime, je vais où ? Que faire ou ne pas faire au Japon ? Etc. Je vous dis TOUT ! Entre lieux incontournables de la vie tokyoïte moderne et quartiers traditionnels emblématiques, j'espère vous partager un bout de cette passion et vous aider à mieux appréhender votre séjour dans ce pays merveilleux mais, aux mœurs si différentes. » Si vous êtes intéressez n'hésitez pas à me contacter, à me partager vos envies, et je préparerais votre visite en fonction. Et si vous n'avez pas d'idées, aucun problème, je prendrais les devants ! Je propose plusieurs types de visites guidées : 1 seul lieu précis (durée 2h environ) 1 demi journée à travers plusieurs endroits (durée 3h30) 1 journée à travers plusieurs endroits (durée 7h) Je vous dis donc à très bientôt, ou plutôt : "Matane" !

The Edo period, when Tokyo became the capital, is often seen as the peak of Japanese art and culture! Temple architecture, woodworking, woodblock prints, porcelain...

I am also going to teach you all you need to know about those fierce warriors in front of a large collection of authentic weapons & armors.

“Toshi is an excellent guide and made our visit wonderful ”
My husband and I, along with two of our young adult sons, pent two very wet days touring Tokyo with Toshi, who skillfully guided us from place to place, despite the soaking spring rain. Toshi was unfailingly kind, helpful, and informative. I am a curious person and Toshi was a wealth of insight into all things Japanese. His English is excellent, and he also brought us to wonderful restaurants, such as a fantastic sushi restaurant in the seafood market area. We did not request a specific itinerary but left it to our trusty guide; we spent one day touring the east side of the city and the second day going around the west side. We spent eight hours each day with Toshi, who met us outside of our rented flat each morning near Ueno Station. Obviously you can't pack it in and get a big heaping of true Tokyo flavor trying to sort out logistics on your own as a newbie. Toshi took all the stress out of that. We like using public transportation when it's safe and clean, and we enjoyed learning from Toshi so that we could manage a third day on our own without getting confused. Some of my personal favorite places that we visited include the Shinjuku Imperial Gardens - the Sakura were in bloom and the rain kept the crowds in check -- the Meiji Shrine (the most magnificent Shinto shrine that I have seen in a month here in Japan) along with its forest, the amazing view of Tokyo from the top of the Metropolitan building, the Asakusa old town area with the five-story pagoda and the Senso-ji Temple complex, the electric town and hipster/gamer shopping area of Akihabara (our young adult kids were in heaven here) and the crazy Shibuya Scramble Crossing that throws you into a moving mosh pit, along with the winding streets of themed cafes (cat, owl, hedgehog, French maid, micro pig) and tiny eateries. I also loved seeing the cherry tree festival in Ueno Park. We had a heck of a good time with Toshi and highly recommend his services.
