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 :)

Toru I.

Hello to all of you on the screen. My name is Toru Ishii and I am a licensed national interpretater of English language. I have been guiding scrolling around a Japanese landscape garden designated as Scenic Beauty in Yokohama city for the last 2 years. I would like to explain about time-honored Japanese architectures, transfered from Kyoto and Kamakura, designated as Important Cultural Property. I am also interested in Tea Ceremony and in the ritual of serving powdered green tea in the garden. Yokohama opened its door to overseas comers in 1859 after the Meiji Restoration. The port of Yokohama shared about 70 percents of overseas trading in Japan. The main export was raw silk thread. Now the beautiful city of Yokohama has become historically exotic and ranks as one of the most fascinating internationally trading city that attracts many foreign tourists. I am always happy to guide tourists around this historical region and Introduce the delights of Japanese cuisine and Chinese cuisine in China town according to the visitor's requests. Stepping further out from Yokohama, I would recommend Kamakura city, a 20 minutes train ride on the JR Line, where the visitor can feel the fresh ocean breeze. The nearby Zen Buddhist temples and the Great Buddha are main attractions and souvenir shopping adds the excitement. Kamakura was established by the first Shogun, Yoritomo Minamoto, in 1192 and the shogunate government lasted till 1333. He established his Samurai government which ruled over Japan. After arriving at Kamakura or Kita-Kamakura station, the visitor can easily walk around the city. This city is easily accesable by train from Yokohama (less than 30 minutes) and Tokyo (less than 1 hour). As for my background, I have experienced staying in Louisiana in the United States and studied at the university there. Now I am 60 years old and I am still working for a company, while at the same time, I work as a volunteer guide a few days a month in Yokohama city. I like traveling in foreign countries, and have experienced short time staying at several European countries, North America as well as some Asian countries. Last January, I travelled San Fransico and Merced city, California. I would be delighted to exchange cultural experience with many visitors from all over the world. If you happen to be visiting my country and if you are interested , please feel free to contact me. Toru Ishii

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

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" !

Efficient One Day Tokyo Tour

“So Efficient”

We went all over the place and covered a lot of ground. We saw so many sights and stopped at great places all over Tokyo and little places here and there to eat. For lunch we wanted hand made Udon and he knew of a place immediately and is was sooo good with an inexpensive price. We are a family of 4 and he took great care of all of us!

Thank you for the outstanding tour review, Garry-san. You investigated well about modern popular spots for family. Tour was slightly customized. In Tokyo, some areas are not appropriate for lunch. But you were cooperative to eat lunch at the area where there are many restaurants. Thank you very much. You are still in Japan and will visit many other places. Have a nice trip!

Tokyo Half Day tour for Mark

“Fantastic Tokyo Half Day Tour”

Booked a half day tour in Tokyo for the family with Kahoko and did not disappoint. Itinerary was exactly as we asked and we even managed to fit in an extra stop in Shibuya on Kahoko's recommendation. Kahoko was informative, helping us to understand Tokyo and how to get around. It was a pleasure to spend time with Kahoko and we all thoroughly enjoyed the experience .

Kahoko K.

Thank you very much for the wonderful review! I was wondering how your rest of the day was like. I had such a lovely time with a terrific family. Even though it was a very hot day, we walked a lot ! I really appreciate your patience and tolerance under that horrible heat. Also, you easily got used to transportation as you take trains at daily bases. Probably you fully enjoyed the whole trip. I'm so happy to know I was able to do something helpful for you even a little. Thank you very much !! I hope your family's health and happiness!

“Made Our Tokyo Trip Unforgettable”

Our Tokyo tour with Shusaku was nothing short of outstanding. He wasn’t just a guide - he was the reason our trip felt so special. He showed an unmatched level of patience, kindness, and care, especially with my parents, always putting their comfort first. He was exceptionally proactive - helping us shop, making sure we got the best food, explaining every little detail with clarity, and offering thoughtful recommendations at every step. What truly amazed us was how he made everything feel effortless - from navigating the city to choosing the right experiences. His warmth, courtesy, and attention to detail turned what could have been just another tour into an unforgettable memory of Tokyo. Honestly, Shusaku is not only the best guide in Tokyo, but one of the best guides we’ve ever had anywhere in the world. If you have the chance to tour with him, consider yourself very lucky. He is simply beyond exceptional.

Shusaku M.

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words! I’m truly touched and grateful for your message. It was an absolute pleasure to show you and your family around Tokyo, and I’m so glad that you enjoyed the experience. I hope you take home wonderful memories of Tokyo, and I would be delighted to guide you again anytime in the future! Arigatou gozaimasu!!!!
