About Tour Guide Takeshi H.

Hello! My name is Takeshi.

I am a National Licensed Guide Interpreter in English.

I was born in Tokyo. I worked for Canon for more than 30 years including a 5-year assignment to the U.S. office. Before joining Canon, I received a master's degree in engineering in the United States.

After retiring from the company, I began working as a volunteer guide for foreign visitors in Kamakura and Yokohama for a while.

However, I became fascinated by the beautiful nature of Nagano prefecture and decided to move here to the Yatsugatake Mountains, 1000m above sea level in Nagano a few years ago.

Since then I go out to look at the breathtaking mountains, lakes, and shrines every day. I would like to guide you to these special sites and also share with you the Japanese culture in my guided tours.

I am flexible and can customize the tour based on the customer's request.

I am also a Certified Travel Service Administrator. My hobby is Aikido and I hold the 2nd Dan black belt.

Hope to see you soon.

Great Day in Tokyo

Takeshi met us at our hotel after we got off our cruise ship and did a 9 hour Tour of the high lights of Tokyo , he was very accommodating, spoke good English. He was so good we tried to book him for a second day but he is booked! Highly recommend going on a tour with Takeshi! Kevin and gang from Canada

Thank you for your review. It was a pleasure to show you around Tokyo during this beautiful cherry blossom season.

Highly recommended

Takeshi was an excellent communicator. He went out of his way to investigate onsen options and the day was fantastic. Highly recommended.

Thank you for your review. On the day of the tour, due to the cold snap, we had record-breaking heavy snow, but I am glad I could finish the tour safely and happily.

Snow Monkey Park and Zenkoji templo Tour

My family and I took the tour with Takeshi-san as our guide to Snow Monkey Park and Zenkoji temple in january 2025, and it was wonderful! Takeshi is super cordial, friendly and careful, making our tour of Nagano even better. Even when facing an unforeseen event, with heavy snow falling, we managed to enjoy all the stages, with him helping us at all times. We highly recommend it!
