Hi, I am an inbound certified tour guide. My name is Tan & my Japanese name is Yuri (lily in English).I have been living in Japan since 2008. I have vast experience as a professional tour guide for a reputable bus tour company in Tokyo. I had tons of good reviews for Kamakura & Mount Fuji tours.

“An Unforgettable Tokyo Adventure”
We had a wonderful tour in Tokyo and really enjoyed our time with Tan. Her English was excellent, making it easy to learn about the city and ask questions throughout the day. One of the highlights was that she took us to several hidden gems and local spots that were off the beaten path, away from the typical tourist crowds. It made the experience feel much more authentic and gave us a chance to see a different side of Tokyo. She also took some fantastic photos of our family during the tour. We really appreciated having those memories captured so naturally, allowing us to enjoy the experience without worrying about taking pictures ourselves. Overall, Tan was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the day both fun and memorable. I would highly recommend her to anyone visiting Tokyo!
