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.

“Fun day shopping craft supplies and hand crafted items ”
I had great time with Ritsuko. I had asked for a customized tour of stores selling craft supplies and hand crafted items. Found so many nice things. I would never have found these places myself.

“Amazing day in Tokyo”
I had the most memorable and enjoyable day with Risuko. It started with her meeting me at the airport, arranging luggage transfer and getting a Suica card for travelling on the subway. All things that felt daunting for a first trip to Japan, Ritsuko made effortless. We then travelled by subway to the Imperial Palace East Gardens, which although late with the Autumn colours still were beautiful and the leaves had started to turn so I did see some colour variations. Because the leaf colour change was not quite happening when I was there, Ritsuko adjusted our day after discussing with me and she took me to the Meigi Jinga Shrine which was so peaceful in the gardens and an amazing experience. It was a festival day so I was very fortunate to see many cultural events on at the Shrine. Also during the day she took me to "chef" Street in Asakusa where there is a whole street devoted to cooking and ceramic ware, and to a traditional Japanese art and craft store where i could see workmanship from Artists and creator's from all over Japan. The entire day was magnificent and her generosity , knowledge and imparting of information was exceptional. Thank you Risuko for being an excellent guide and friend. You made the start of my trip truly memorable.

Hi Rosemary, Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely review. It was wonderful meeting you, and I’m delighted we were able to explore many faces of Tokyo together, even after your long flight. As you mentioned, the autumn leaves hadn’t quite reached their peak this year, we were lucky to see the special ceremony at Meiji Shrine celebrating Emperor Meiji’s birthday, and to visit one of my favorite shops. I was delighted that you enjoyed the same places I love. It was an honor to be part of your special trip to Japan. There are still so many beautiful spots I’d like to show you. Please come back again to experience Tokyo in a different season. Until then, all the best!

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.
