HI. I am Keiko. I'm a National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter - Your local tour guide.I was born in Tokyo and studied Japanese history in the University. I used to work as a junior high school English teacher for over 30 years . So I know about Tokyo a lot. One of my hobbies is Japanese history and finding similarities with world history is very interesting and so much fun for me.

Tokyo is an attractive city where you can both experience the marriage of both traditional and modern culture. I'd be more than happy to share with you my rich knowledge and experience. I'll be grateful to arrange a tour for you according to your preferences. I'm looking forward to having a good time with you and I hope to be a part of your stay here in Japan.

A Lovely Second Day with Keiko

Keiko designed a wonderful two-day tour of Tokyo for my small family. My goal was to introduce Japan to my 10-year-old daughter. Keiko created a custom itinerary that included cultural highlights such as the Meiji Shrine, Temple in Asakusa, and a delightful small shrine dedicated to foxes in Ueno. She also made sure to include stops that aligned with my daughter’s interest in fashion and kawaii culture: Harajuku’s shopping street, the Santino and Pokémon stores, a delightful maid cafe in Akihabara, and the Tokyo SkyTree. Keiko shared great insights and stories at each stop along our journey, and she even helped our daughter pick out clothes at cool boutiques. My wife and I had a great time too. Overall, we loved our time with Keiko and would tour with her again in the future! Arigatou gozaimasu, Keiko-San!

You visited traditional places like Asakusa and Ueno as well as modern areas like Akihabara and Tokyo Sky Tree. I was happy that all of you were interested in my explanation and listened to me carefully. Arigatou gozaimashita!! I hope you will enjoy Japan as much as possible and go back to your country with a lot of SUGOI memories. MATANE,See you again!!

Thank you very much for your wonderful review of my tour. On the first day, we visited west side of Tokyo, Shibuya & Harajuku area to experience modern and KAWAII culture. Every time your kawaii daughter visited anime character shops, trendy fashionable shops, animal cafes...etc., she would say, "Oh my goodness, that's nice!!" I was so happy to hear that. Arigatou gozaimashita. It was my great day, too.

Perfect end to a wonderful holiday!

Keiko-san was full of energy with her in-depth explanations on Japanese culture during our visit to Ueno and the delicious recommendations during our food hunt at Tsukiiji market. Fully recommend Keiko-san to all tourists young and old! Thank you very much Keiko-san!!!

Thank you very much for your warm review of my tour. I was so happy to have a tour with a happy family. I think "Tsukiji & Ueno" tour is a good way to understand Japanese culture. You could experience it through Japanese food and traditional buildings and atmosphere. I hope you will come back to Japan in the near future and see you again in Tokyo. Arigato-Gozaimashita!! Keiko
