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.

A Memorable Family Day in Tokyo with Ritsuko!

We had a wonderful day exploring Tokyo with Ritsuko! From the very beginning, she was so helpful, checking in with us to make sure the schedule matched what we were looking for. Her English is great, and she told us so many interesting stories at each stop. She was especially amazing with our kiddo—she even pivoted the tour so we could visit a toy store, which made the day extra special for the whole family. Even with the detour, we saw everything we planned to see. Thank you, Ritsuko, for a memorable day!

Hi Daniel, Thank you so much for your lovely review. It was MY pleasure to spend the last part of your trip in Japan together. Seeing Mt. Fuji from Tokyo Skytree was a special moment, and I’m delighted we could also enjoy the year-end atmosphere and seasonal foods at Tsukiji and Meiji Shrine together. And yes, finding the Smiski made the day even more fun! There are still so many wonderful places in Tokyo that I couldn’t show you this time, so I hope you’ll come back again in a different season. Wishing you and your family a very Happy New Year!

Five star experience!

This was my kids’ first visit to Tokyo and we had 2 very special days with Ritsuko. We worked together before and during our time together to personalize our days to see the sites most interesting to us. Every member of my family benefitted from her knowledge and had an experience that was fun for them: pig cafes, Sanrio stores, vintage mini shopping, historical sites, etc. Ritsuko was everything you wish for in a guide: knowledgeable, friendly, flexible, caring and had planned our time efficiently so that we could fit in all the things we wanted to do! I would recommend her to anyone coming to Tokyo and would use her again!

Hi Jennifer, Thank you so much for your thoughtful message. I’m delighted if I could help to make Dylan and Campbell’s first visit to Tokyo a memorable one. Although we had rain on the first day, I really appreciated how much you all walked over the two days. Thanks to that, I was able to show you many different sides of Tokyo, from traditional spots to modern neighborhoods. I’m also glad you were able to find things you loved, from kimonos to character goods. I hope the rest of your journey is filled with many more fun experiences and lots of delicious food discoveries. Wishing you all wonderful travels ahead.
