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.

“A Beautiful Area”
Ritsuko was a fabulous tour guide for this area. She met us at our hotel and guided us through the crazy subway terminals. She also advised us to download an app to make the travel easier and it made it a breeze. Ritsuko had great knowledge of the area and made this visit feel very special. This was our 2nd tour with her, and she did not disappoint. My family really enjoyed her company. I would highly recommend using her for your tours around Tokyo.

Hi Ben, Thank you for taking the time to write a second review. If you have an iPhone, using Welcome Suica is also a very convenient option — just be careful not to run out of battery! Kamakura is one of my favorite day-trip destinations from Tokyo. It has the atmosphere of an old capital, but also a beautiful beach area, which makes it quite different from central Tokyo. The matcha experience may have been literally a bitter one, but I hope you will also have a chance to try other types of Japanese tea (Ryokucha, Houjicha, Genmaicha). It was a pleasure spending another day with you and your family. Take care and stay healthy!
$203/ per group

Tokyo,Now &Then
Tokyo is a modern metropolitan city built on an ancient Edo, where Tokugawa samurai government was settled. Even now we can find old relics of ancient Edo among truly modern Tokyo streets. Asakusa, Ueno and the Imperial Palace itself are some of the examples. Let’s explore Tokyo with me and find the soul of Japan.
