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.

“Best Guide Ever!”
We travel a lot and all agreed Dai is the best guide we’ve ever had. He shared enough about the history and religious customs to be interesting without being overwhelming and gave us a great context for what we were seeing. He went above and beyond waiting in lines for us and helping us buy onward train tickets. He was engaging and easy going. Our 17-year-old son who often gets antsy on a full day tour said he really enjoyed the day and that it was our best, high praise indeed! Thank you Dai for a fantastic day and great start to our time in Tokyo!!

“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

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.
