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.

“Excellent Guide!”
Ritsuko went above and beyond the call of duty on this half day tour, I so appreciated her knowledge and thoughtfulness. She was able to pivot when I suggested a last minute change

Hi John and Maryann, Thank you so much for your wonderful review. It was truly MY pleasure spending two days with you. Although it rained on the first day, I’m so glad the second day was much nicer. Over the two days, we were able to enjoy temples, shrines, Japanese gardens, and even cherry blossoms from the boat with Skytree, which made the experience especially memorable. I hope you continue to enjoy many wonderful moments in Japan, including Kyoto and beyond.

She was a very knowledgeable guide and did her best to provide us with sights that we were interested in seeing. She was prompt and helpful. Our trip to Tokyo was wonderful due to her being our guide.

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.
