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 Highlights & Sites”

We met Ritsuko at our hotel and we were off and on our way to the station!! Since we are in Tokyo for a number of days, we saw five main sites, Meiji Jinju Shrine, Imperial Palace garden and then the Senso-ji temple, Tokyo station and then Tokyo Skytree where our day ended. This was a full day and Ritsuko was the perfect guide to show us all of the historical details of places we visited, but also what was happening during that period of time. We would highly recommend Ritsuko for your Tokyo guide.

Hi Ed, Thank you for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. I wanted our day together to give you a useful introduction to different parts of the city, from the west to the east. I was pleased that our tour worked well for both of you — for you, who already have some knowledge of Japan, and for Annette on her very first visit. I’m sure the views from Tokyo Skytree, followed by the evening illumination, made a lovely ending to the day. There is still plenty ahead to enjoy, from the Tokyo National Museum to the Godzilla and 3D cat spots, as well as some classic Japanese food such as tonkatsu and curry. I hope the rest of your stay brings you many more interesting discoveries. Arigato and Matakitene!

“Wonderful Day with Ritsuko!”

We had the pleasure of spending the day with Ritsuko! Touring around with Ritsuko on our very first day in Japan was perfect because, not only did she take us to the coolest places in Tokyo, but she taught us how to use the trains, where to go for shopping and teach teaching us about Japanese customs. Ritsuko met us at our hotel, helped us order lunch from an authentic Japanese food stand and even helped me get my first Goshuin! She was very kind and knowledgeable and we REALLY enjoyed our day with her. Highly recommend Ritsuko as a guide!

Hi Lisa and Julian, Thank you so much for your warm review, and also for sharing the photo of the three of us. You had only just arrived in Tokyo and were probably still dealing with jet lag, so I’m glad you were still able to enjoy the day. I’m sure you went on to collect many more goshuin and stamps, try lots of delicious food, and make plenty of memories during your time in Japan. If my tour helped make the rest of your trip a little easier or more enjoyable, that means a lot to me. After getting used to Japan’s humidity, Colorado may feel especially dry now! Please take good care of yourselves.
