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.

“Wonderful day with Ritsuko”
My daughter and I had a great day with Ritsuko. She was easy to communicate with and she created a custom tour for exactly what we wanted to do in Tokyo. It was a very hot day and she was able to help us navigate the city despite the heat. She was super knowledgeable about sites and then was able to help us shop - wonderful to have a local with us in the Onistuka Tigre store and she was able to help my daughter find some specific things she wanted. In addition she was friendly, shared about her life in Tokyo and made our first day in Tokyo meaningful and fun!

Hi Erica, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I’m very happy to hear that you and Julia enjoyed your first full day in Tokyo despite the very hot and humid weather. I also really enjoyed spending the day with you both. Thanks to Julia, I even discovered the new SONIANDSMI store, which was good to know for me. I hope you were able to pick up a nice bento for your trip to Kyoto, and I’m keeping my fingers crossed that you find the right size and color for your son at the Onitsuka in Kyoto or Osaka. Thank you again for choosing me as your guide. I hope you have a wonderful rest of your stay in Japan!

“Great guide! ”
Excellent local guide who showed all the highlights of Tokyo as per our itinerary. She picked us up from our Air BNB apartment and arrived on time on both days. She was good with the kids too and went at our pace. Highly recommend.

Hi Nish, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! Despite the hot weather and occasional sudden rain, I really enjoyed showing you and your family different parts of Tokyo. It was MY pleasure to help you experience the many different sides of my hometown. I especially hope the two tours became wonderful memories for Keya and Ishaan. Thank you again for choosing me as your guide!

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.
