About Tour Guide Ritsuko K.

Hi, I'm Ritsuko, a national licensed tour guide. I was born and raised in Tokyo.

As Tokyo is a city of many faces, I hope you will discover your hidden gems during the tour.

I love to wander around the shops and places downtown and one of my hobbies is to find daily-use products made in Japan. So I can select unique souvenirs for you within your budget!

I am football-mad and have been to every FIFA World Cup except one tournament since 1998.

I also love to go island hopping in Asia. That's why I have been to over 30 countries.

Wherever I went, people were so kind to me. So, it's my turn.

I will do my best to make your tour a memorable one!

Hope to hear from you soon.

Like Exploring Tokyo with a Friend

We spent two wonderful days in Tokyo with Ritsuko and couldn’t have asked for a better guide. She was warm, organised, and made navigating the city effortless. Her knowledge of history and culture brought every place to life, and she tailored the tour perfectly to our interests. We saw both famous highlights and hidden gems we would never have found alone. By the end, it felt like we were exploring with a friend. Highly recommended!

Hi Derek & Tracey, thank you so much for your lovely review. I’m writing this with a cup of Earl Grey tea and milk, remembering all the wonderful moments we shared. It felt like exploring Tokyo with a friend; that’s exactly what I hope for every time I guide someone. Hearing that from you means a lot to me. I hope that on your upcoming cruise, you will continue to discover many more faces of Japan and create even more wonderful memories. All the best!

Awesome tour to Kamakura

We had a great time with Ritsuko. We took multiple trains, subway, bus to get to our final destination. Would have taken me 2 days on my own to get to Kamakura:) We got LOT of info about the differences between shrine vs temple. Excellent cadence, she was very patient with us on a super hot day. Great recommendations for food / lunch. Huge sport fan, we enjoyed Ritsuko’s company immensely. Great day, and hope I also made a good friend.

Hi Timea, Thank you for your wonderful review. It was my pleasure guiding you in Kamakura. At the same time, I regret that on such an unexpected hot day I had you walk so much, and that we could not make it to the final temple. I am also sorry I could not accept your request for another tour day. I hope that next time you will come back not for business but for a holiday, and in a different season, so that we can explore more together. Wishing you all the best remaining of your stay in Tokyo.
