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.

Reviews

“Dai is part ninja - 10 our of 10”

We spent our first full day in Tokyo with Dai, and he moved us through the city like a ninja. At each stop he'd give a small nod and we were off, flying through stations without a single wasted step. In one day we covered Asakusa and Senso-ji, Akihabara, Meiji Jingu and Harajuku, the Shibuya Scramble, and Shinjuku's tiny alleys at night. On our own, that would have taken us three days. He also taught us the proper way to enter a temple and pray, and he shared history at every stop. It made the sights mean so much more than just photos. He's a fun person to spend a day with, too. He's traveled to almost every country on Earth and has only about 20 left! If it's your first time in Tokyo, book Dai. You'll see more and understand more than you ever could on your own.

Thank you so much for giving me such a great review, Shannon. It was really nice meeting you guys. I totally enjoyed walking around the city and talking with two of you. That was a super fun and memorable day. I hope you will come back to Japan again sometime soon and visit other beautiful cities as well. Please take good care of yourself and give my best regards to your husband. Thanks a million!!!

“Walking tour of Asakusa, Ueno Park and Imperial Palace”

We had an amazing walking tour with Dai! Starting in Asakusa, we explored Ueno Park, the Imperial Palace, and local markets while learning so much about Japanese history and culture. One of the highlights was learning about the differences between Shintoism and Buddhism. We were traveling with our young son, Logan, and Dai went above and beyond to make the experience comfortable for our family. He was thoughtful about finding easier routes, adjusting to our needs, and making sure we had everything we needed along the way. Dai was knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating throughout the entire tour. We had a fantastic time and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to explore Tokyo, especially families traveling with young children!
