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 guide for Tokyo!”
I had only one full day in Tokio and needed to pack it so to visit most of the interesting places in Tokio, which are too many. And, considering a complexity of excellent metro/subway system along with language issues, it's impossible without a very good guide. That's where Dai as able to make it happened. Thanks to him, we were able to visit all the sites I planned to see and , from him, I had learned souch about history of Japan and local traditions, despite the rainy day. Arigato gozaimasu, Dai!

Thank you so much for giving me such a thoughtful review, Dimitri. It was absolutely my great pleasure to show you around Tokyo. It was so much fun to walk around and talk with you during the tour. Unfortunately it was cloudy and rainy day though. Please come back to Japan again sometime in the future and stay much longer the next time and visit other beautiful cities as well. I hope you will have a super wonderful time in Guam and enjoy scuba diving. Please take good care of yourself and give my best regards to your family. Thanks a million!!!

“Great Tokyo tours for kids!”
We had a great time with Dai, who was extremely accommodating as we had changes in our initial schedule and then again changes on the day! His knowledge of Tokyo made us save a lot of time, and he also catered the tour so our boys ( 9 and 13) could discover, enjoy and shop in Tokyo! Thanks again Dai for your flexibility and making two boys wanting to come back to Tokyo for more! Aymeric

Thank you so much for giving me such a thoughtful review, Aymeric. I also had a great time with all of you. I was so glad to be able to see that your cool two boys (Finn and Ryan) enjoyed shopping and gaming in Akihabara and having a huge rainbow cotton candy in Harajuku. That was super fun! Also I really appreciate your understanding and cooperation during the tour. I hope you will come back to Japan again soon and visit other beautiful cities as well.
