About Tour Guide Dai A.
Hi, I'm Dai, a national licensed tour guide for people from all over the world.
I’m crazy about traveling around the world.
I’ve backpacked in over 150 countries.
So I'm proud of my traveling skills, flexibility and patience that I've ever experienced through my world-traveling.
I do believe one of the most important thing for travelers is to " EXPERIENCE ", such as doing something new, extraordinary and something you've never done before.
Also, I used to work at a hostel in Asakusa, so I'm quite familiar with Asakusa area.
I'd love to help international tourists enjoy their stay in Japan.
You can arrange your own itinerary as you like.
Please feel free to contact me anytime, if you have any questions.
I'm really looking forward to seeing YOU soon. Thank YOU.

“Great full day Tokyo tour”
Dai - provide an exceptional one day tour of all the key sights in Tokyo to my family and me. Dai is a very professional tour guide and went the extra mile in everything he did for us. He was well prepared with maps, guides and other information which he kindly shared with us. We planned our tour on the first day which was great for Dai to show us all the logistics of the subway system. He provided excellent historical and religious background at all our stops which was very interesting and helpful. I would strongly endorse Dai as a guide for Tokyo - he exceeded our expectations and we greatly enjoyed his company. Thank you Dai for a great day. Simon

“Megacity day tour with Dai”
The thought of exploring Tokyo seemed quite daunting to my family and I. So, I decided to hire a local to help us. We had the pleasure of discovering Tokyo with our guide, Dai, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. Dai was incredibly knowledgeable and shared fascinating insights about the city’s history, culture, and hidden gems. Our tour included iconic spots like Shibuya Crossing, where Dai brought the energy and stories of the world’s busiest intersection to life, as well as Akihabara, where he explained the unique subcultures and guided us through the vibrant streets. What made the day so special was Dai’s warm personality and his ability to make the experience both fun and informative. He tailored the pace perfectly, answered all our questions, and gave us recommendations we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. If you’re looking for a guide who can combine expert knowledge with genuine hospitality, Dai is the perfect choice. Highly recommended!
