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.


Reviews

Lovely day out of Tokyo

After the hustle of Toyko we decided a day in a small town was warranted. Ritsuko was wonderful, very accommodating and easy company. We saw Temples and Shrines, but also the beach and some fab craft shops...Thank you!

Hi Lita! Thank you so much for your positive review. Even though it was unusually hot for late September, I’m glad you enjoyed the day trip to Kamakura and especially the modern version of Yosegi crafts. I hope the rest of your journey in Japan brings you many more wonderful memories. All the best!

Great Day in Tokyo

We had an excellent day in Tokyo with Ritsuko. Her pacing was very good, moving efficiently but allowing us time to do some souvenir shopping in the Tsukiji market and other places along the way. She helped customize a tour to our specifications, including Kappabashi Street (Kitchenware) and Akihabara (Electronics). Her knowledge of Tokyo, the temples and shrines was excellent, as was her English. We also stopped at a great place for lunch. She had recommended getting the Suica App before meeting her and that was so helpful. Choose the Welcome Suica App which is in English and allows you onto the metro and busses with a tap of your phone. It also worked in Kyoto and can also be used in convenience stores. You will enjoy having Ritsuko as a guide. She made us feel welcome and informed in Tokyo.

Dear Alison and Cliff, Thank you so much for your kind review. Even though our two-day tour was shortened to just one day because of my situation, I’m truly grateful that you still enjoyed the experience and shared such warm feedback. I’m also glad to hear that using the Suica app made your travels in Kyoto smooth and enjoyable —that’s wonderful! Tokyo has so many more places I’d love to introduce you to, so I hope you’ll come back again someday, maybe in a different season, to enjoy another side of the city. Until then, all the best.
