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.

Tokyo tour

Wonderful guide, knowledgeable and accommodating tour, strongly recommended for anyone who wants a tour in Tokyo, thank you Ritsuko

4 days exploring Tokyo with Ritsuko

We spent four wonderful guided tour days in Tokyo with Ritsuko. Without her we would have been lost. She is genuinely warm, engaging, and thoughtful. What set Ritsuko apart was how she tailored the experience to our specific interests. She went above and beyond to help us find a Japanese national football team jersey for our son and even took my husband to see the statue of a Japanese rugby national treasure (Michael Leitch), which was a huge hit! Navigating Tokyo’s crowded subway stations can be overwhelming, but Ritsuko made it look easy, guiding us through the chaos with total confidence and organization. She is very knowledgeable and a clear communicator. We will surely return to Tokyo and look forward to meeting up with her again. We cannot recommend her highly enough!

Fantastic Two Day Tour in Tokyo and Kamakua

We really enjoyed our two day tour with Ritsuko! We explored Meiji Shrine , saw Shibuya Crossing and the cute street in Harujuku where we saw interesting shops and animal cafes . Ritsuko even took us to Kappabashi Street, the kitchenware area, to look at kitchen knives. We had a blast in Kamakura , an hour from Tokyo , and went to a tea house in a bamboo grove next to a little temple. Of course, we loved seeing the big Buddha ( the second biggest in Japan) and the Hasedera temple with an impressive views. Ritsuko also braved the wind and cold, taking us to the beach area to see mt Fuji which was hiding behind clouds . Ritsuko was a terrific guide! Knowledgeable, organized and a good communicator. We highly recommend her!

Hi Margaret and everyone, Thank you so much for your gracious words! I truly enjoyed our time together as well. It was MY pleasure to show you both the different charms of Tokyo and Kamakura. Beyond the famous sightseeing spots, I’m so glad we could cater to your "foodie" interests—from finding those beautiful engraved knives in Kappabashi to exploring various Japanese dishes and sweets over the two days. It was a pity that Mt. Fuji was hiding at Inamuragasaki, but let’s save that view for your next visit! Thank you also for sharing the lovely photos. As a guide, I often take many pictures but rarely end up in them, so I am very happy to have those memories. There are still so many hidden gems in Tokyo that I haven't been able to show you yet. Please come back and visit again someday. Wishing you all the best!
