Hello. Thank you for your interest in Japan. I am a tour guide living in central Tokyo area. My hobby is travel, taking photos, watching sports, etc. I have visited more than thirty countries on business or vacation. While I was in overseas countries, I encountered a lot of troubles. But many people at my travel destination kindly helped me and I could do what I wanted to do. To do something in return for their kindness, I became a tour guide.
As a guide, I have offered tours for more than hundreds of tourists all over the world. Each tourist has the different style of sightseeing. Through experience, I have got better skills to arrange the tour flexibly.
Your stay in Japan must be very important moment. I would like to show you unique aspects of Japan. It is possible to create a customized tour for you to meet your requests. Please tell me what kind of sightseeing you would like to enjoy. Feel free to contact me.

“Hit all the highlights in one day!”
Our tour day was so efficiently planned that we were able to see all of the highlights in one day and revisit some of our favorites during our second day in Tokyo. The Omakase experience we were taken to was amazing! Highly recommend.

Thank you for the fantastic tour review, Sandra-san. We planned the itinerary well before the tour. Some places were very unique spots. I was relieved as you were able to see all of the highlights. Your family were very friendly. I enjoyed walking with you. Please come to Japan again in the near future.

“Amazing Tour of Tokyo!”
I highly recommend this tour to anyone! Toshi was an amazing tour guide. My mom and I had arrived in Tokyo the night before our tour from the US, so it was a perfect tour for us for our first time in Tokyo. I felt that we got a great overview of the city and saw so much. Toshi was also super flexible with where we wanted to go, and he toured us to some great places. The sushi spot for lunch he took us to was absolutely fantastic! Toshi’s English was great as well. We enjoyed every single minute of our tour.

Thank you for the wonderful tour review, Arianna-san. I must appreciate your patience for the full day tour in spite that you suffered terrible jet lag. We visited the characteristic spots in Tokyo so that the first time visitors could feel the uniqueness of Japan. I am glad as you tried Japanese taste, not only Sushi but also Matcha green tea ice cream. It's a nice challenge. I know you will visit various places in Japan from now. I am sure that you will enjoy Japanese culture in this travel. I suggest you try to wear Japanese Kimono. Have a nice trip!
