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.

“Amazing and Memorable Tour”
Ritsuko was an amazing guide! She was kind, friendly, and very knowledgeable. She planned everything well, explained the history and culture clearly, and made our family feel comfortable throughout the tour. She was also very patient and helped us discover wonderful places we would not have found on our own. Thank you for making our trip to Tokyo so special. We highly recommend Ritsuko to anyone visiting Japan!

Hi Mohannad, Thank you so much for your wonderful review. It was MY pleasure, and thank you three for spending two memorable days with me! We experienced two kinds of summer heat—strong sunshine on one day and intense humidity on the other—but you walked a lot and stayed positive throughout. Thanks to that, I was able to show you the different charms of each area of Tokyo. I will also cherish the lovely sushi pen you gave me! I hope the rest of your stay in Japan brings many more discoveries and enjoyable experiences. Please continue to explore Japanese sweets as well, especially all the delicious matcha treats!

Asakusa, Ueno and the Imperial Palace itself are some of the examples. Let’s explore Tokyo with me and find the soul of Japan.
