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.

Graat Day in West Tokyo

We had an amazing day with Ritsuko. She created a custom tour of the west side of Tokyo that had a good mix of history and present. Moreover, she changed the tour thru the day to adjust to the weather conditions. Ritsuko provide great insight and stories at each stop. Finally,her selection for lunch was perfect for a wet day. We highly recommend Ritsuko if you want a great guide in Tokyo.

Hi Jeff and Elithabeth, Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience. Although the weather wasn’t ideal, I’m delighted to show you the charm of West Tokyo—including our own version of Kew Gardens—during the final part of your Japan journey. Japan offers so many different experiences depending on the region and the season, so I truly hope you’ll return one day to explore even more.

An engrossing day spent exploring Tokyo East and West

Ritsuko was a total star ! Charming, with excellent English, a good sense of humour, an ability to answer all our questions from football to anime and an encyclopaedic knowledge of Tokyo, she gave us an exciting and hugely informative day. We are looking forward to a second day with her soon!

Hi Jonathan, Thank you so much for your lovely review. Because your family was willing to walk so much, I was able to show a wide range of places—from the area around your Airbnb to Tokyo’s highlights. I also appreciate you listening to my complaints about my team! I’m planning to show you some more unique, off-the-beaten-path spots for our next tour. Until then, I hope you all enjoy the coming two days and make many new discoveries.

Could not ask for a better guide

Ritsuko was the perfect person to take my mom & i for a day hike around Tokyo. This was essentially our first time in Japan. She gave us a great introduction to not only specific locations like temples, shrines, & gardens…but she gave us deeper insight & history into these locations, as well as how these places tied into Japanese history & culture overall. As a big fan of history, i had a great day. We both did. Thank you Ritsuko! We will never forget our day traipsing around Tokyo with you!

Hi Chase, Thank you so much for your kind message. I truly enjoyed spending the day with you and your mom. When she told me that you had planned trips to lift her spirits, I was deeply moved and felt honored to be part of the special journey together. It was wonderful to share not only Tokyo’s famous landmarks but also some of my favorite places. I hope your upcoming travels to Nikko and Kyoto bring you both many more discoveries regarding history and unforgettable memories. All the best!
