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

A great day in Tokyo and introduction to Japan

Ritsuko could not have been more caring and helpful in guiding our group of 5 for the day around Tokyo. One member of the group was on crutches and Ritsuko found elevators in the subway and wheelchairs in the parks so we could all enjoy Tokyo together. Ritsuko was well informed and generous in answering the many questions we asked about what we were seeing and about her life in Japan. It was our first day in Japan and the perfect start to our holiday. We could not recommend Ritsuko more highly. She was great! Sue, Karen, Libby, Janie and Sally

Hi Sue, Karen, Libby, Janie, and Sally, Thank you for your lovely message. I hope Karen’s leg is feeling at least a little better by now. Although the day started with a few challenges, it truly felt like I was part of your wonderful friends’ trip and had a great time with all of you! I also learned something new myself: wheelchairs are available at both the Imperial Palace and Meiji Shrine, which will be helpful for future tours. Tokyo has finally started to feel like autumn, and I hope you’ll come back again someday when everyone is in perfect shape to enjoy it even more. Until then, all the best!

Tours with Ritsuko

Ritsuko was our guide for 4 days exploring historical shrines, temples and gardens in various districts in and out of Tokyo. Ritsuko provided us with knowledgeable historical facts, navigated the trains and subway systems with ease and coordinated the sights we wanted to see to maximize our comfort and schedules.  She also provided suggestions on sights if we needed to fill the day.  In addition, she knew where to go to taste the local food dishes.   In the days we toured with Ritsuko, we had a great time and looked forward to the next day touring with her. On our last day we truly missed saying our good byes.

Hi Linda and Layton, Thank you so much for your wonderful review. The four days I spent with you were enjoyable for me as well. Linda, I felt we got along well, even our food preferences matched (I’m still enjoying the Cigar cookies!). Thanks to Layton, I was able to deepen my knowledge of the 47 Ronin story. Although the Omikuji I drew at Sensoji Temple said “bad fortune,” guiding you was without a doubt my “good fortune.” Wishing you both many more happy travels, and I hope our paths cross again someday!
