Yoko I.
Hello, I'm Yoko. I was born and brought up in Ashikaga, Tochigi prefecture (80 km north from Tokyo) and I've lived in Tokyo for more than 20 years. I love traveling, both overseas and inside Japan. After I visited other countries and saw many local cultures there, I realized that Japan has a variety of unique cultures with a lot of tourist attractions. I hope you enjoy your stay in Japan. I'm looking forward to seeing you soon!

Yoshi K.
Hi! I'm Yoshi. I am a National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter. Since I was born in Tokyo, near Asakusa, the famous tourist spot, and I now live in Yokohama, I am very familiar with many sightseeing spots and attractions of Tokyo and Kanagawa area. I used to live in California in the states, as a graduate student at UCLA and Stanford University, so I speak natural American English. I used be a CEO of an internet company, dealing business with many foreign companies of the US, European countries and Asian countries. Therefore, I know your culture! I can explain Japanese culture, by comparing them with yours. Of course, I can guide you to the popular spots, like Asakusa, the Imperial palace, Meiji shrine, Shinjuku, and Shibuya. But also I can take you to some secret places, which nobody knows, like a hidden temple in a dungeon. Interested? Please contact me. See you soon! Yoshi

Grant A.
Hello! 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. While most guests book Tokyo-based tours, I also guide in other regions—especially Kyoto, where I’ve visited every World Heritage Site. I regularly lead tours in Osaka, Nara, Nagoya, Hikone, and other locations easily reached by rail. Multi-day and custom tours are available on request. 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" !

Kota A.
Hello everyone! My name is Kota. After graduation from a university in Japan I spent a year in Vancouver, Canada, on a working holiday. While working as a server at a sushi restaurant, I had many opportunities to interact with guests who loved Japan, while also learning about Canadian culture from them. Those experiences became truly meaningful to me, and now I would like to take on that role here in Japan—sharing the beauty of my country with visitors and creating unforgettable memories together. Tokyo is a world-famous metropolis, but beyond its well-known landmarks, it is full of hidden gems that are less crowded and waiting to be discovered. I would be delighted to explore such places with you and do my very best to make your trip to Japan a wonderful experience. Since I am originally from Hiroshima, I am also very familiar with Kyoto, Hiroshima, and Osaka. I would be happy to give you helpful advice if you plan to visit those areas. And if our schedules align, I would love to guide you around my hometown Hiroshima, as well as Shiga where I spent my student years, or even Kyoto and Osaka. Please feel free to reach out anytime! I enjoy watching soccer (especially Manchester United!), and I also like beer and whisky. I’m really looking forward to meeting you all :)

“Megacity day tour with Dai”
The thought of exploring Tokyo seemed quite daunting to my family and I. So, I decided to hire a local to help us. We had the pleasure of discovering Tokyo with our guide, Dai, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. Dai was incredibly knowledgeable and shared fascinating insights about the city’s history, culture, and hidden gems. Our tour included iconic spots like Shibuya Crossing, where Dai brought the energy and stories of the world’s busiest intersection to life, as well as Akihabara, where he explained the unique subcultures and guided us through the vibrant streets. What made the day so special was Dai’s warm personality and his ability to make the experience both fun and informative. He tailored the pace perfectly, answered all our questions, and gave us recommendations we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. If you’re looking for a guide who can combine expert knowledge with genuine hospitality, Dai is the perfect choice. Highly recommended!

“Two Day Tokyo Toor”
Ritsuko was wonderful. She guided me and my 19 yo son on our first two days in Tokyo. On day 1 we focused on eastern Tokyo. She picked us up at our hotel in Ginza and we started our morning at Tsukiji market, then Asakusa to the temple, Ueno to the museum and to get out of the heat, Akihabara for all things anime and then back to Ginza. We covered a lot of ground. On day 2 we took it a bit easier and spent some time at the Meiji shrine, then explored Shibuya - Takeshita street, Omotesando, did the scramble to get shots in for my son and ended the day at Shibuya Sky. I had generally given Ritsuko the things we were interested in and she catered our tour to our “to do list”. She had local insight at each location and I absolutely appreciated that I didn’t have to think about which train to go on or where to transfer. We were her 2 ducklings following her on 2 very hot days and it was the perfect and most efficient way to get introduced to Tokyo. I’d use Ritsuko again without hesitation.

“No one better for Tokyo’s hidden gems”
Our three-generation family had an absolutely fantastic experience at Tsujiki Outer Market with our guide, Yumi-san. Her deep knowledge of the market's history and iconic details truly brought the area to life for us. She was incredibly thoughtful, helping us navigate the bustling crowds, managing the different paces of our group, and pointing out hidden gems we would have missed on our own. Thanks to her guidance, we were able to find some of the most delicious food and get an authentic taste of the market's vibrant atmosphere. Yumi-san even helped us find garbage bins (which any seasoned traveller in Japan knows can be challenging). Yumi-san is in our photo album.. We highly recommend her to any family looking for an unforgettable tour.

Jonathan san Thank you for your excdellent review. Your family was truly wonderful. You respected each other's opinions and wishes, and shared them with me, which was very helpful as your guide. Seeing everyone enjoy their meals so heartily and your father's comical gestures—though it was a short time, I had a wonderful time myself. I think a trip with three generations is absolutely wonderful. I'm so happy I could be part of that memory. Please come back to Japan, to Tokyo. We'll be waiting for you. Thank you again. Yumi
