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.

“Great experience!”
We had a great visit to Kamakura with Ritsuko. Wish we would have had more time in Kamakura - really enjoyed the town. We would highly recommend you book Ritsuko as a guide! She is very knowledgeable and can adapt the tour to your likes.

Hi Michelle and Lily, Thank you so much for your kind review. I’m delighted I could be a part of the final part of your journey in Japan. Kamakura has many other beautiful spots that change with the seasons, so I do hope you’ll come back and explore more next time. Wishing you all the best until then!

“Amazing guide for Tokyo ”
She was an incredible guide in Tokyo for our JAL Factory Tour. Ritsuko was knowledgeable, great at communicating, and both professional and kind. She made the experience unforgettable. We’ll definitely contact her again on our next visit to Japan. Highly recommended!

Hi Ali, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It means a lot to me. The JAL and ANA Hangar Tours were new to me, and I had such a great time thanks to you three. I learned a lot from both of you and your daughter about airplanes, and I’m truly grateful for the experience we shared. There are still so many fascinating places to explore in Tokyo, so I hope you’ll come back someday. I would love to guide you again on your next visit!

“Ritsuko will make you fall in love with Tokyo ”
We couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Ritsuko for our first day in Tokyo. As first-time visitors to Japan, including three teenagers, everything was new, exciting—and at times, overwhelming. Ritsuko made all the difference. She was incredibly patient, kind, and attentive, helping us navigate everything from train stations to Harajuku and Shibuya Crossing, all with a big smile. We’re so grateful for her help in making our first day in Tokyo not only smooth, but truly special. Highly, highly recommended!

Hi, Mara! Thank you so much for your kind review. I’m delighted to hear that you all enjoyed the tour, especially in the vibrant shopping areas of western Tokyo. Thanks to your open-mindedness and willingness to try the Tokyo subway system, I could share not only the sights but also a glimpse of our daily life, which means a lot to me as someone born and raised here. I hope the rest of your stay is filled with delicious food, great finds, and unforgettable photos. Wishing you and your wonderful family many more exciting adventures in Japan!
