About Tour Guide Maki K.
Hello!
I'm Maki. Nice to meet you.
I used to work at a travel agency as a tour escort so I have traveled to more than 50 countries and all 47 prefectures in Japan.
When I came back to Japan from abroad, I always noticed virtues and points to be admired in Japan anew.
I'm thrilled to introduce such kinds of stories and favorite spots to you.
I like bar hopping, cooking, history, and outdoor activities such as camping, cycling.
I have a licence of International Sake Sommlier and Wine Expert. I'm happy if I would have a chance to introduce you about sake and wine. Let's have fun together!

Tokyo Ginza Then and Now (Izakaya hopping tour in 3 hours)
“A truly authentic Tokyo evening!”
Great evening with Maki! We started at a local Izakaya, an experience that I could not have had without her being a solo mature woman traveller, as we were the only women in a sea of men. An incredible and unique experience combined with great food. After hearing about my curiosity about standing sushi restaurant, we went to one. And once again, a learning experience with excellent sushi among locals, no tourists. We proceeded to a beer hall that had an interesting history and reason for its creation. We ended the evening by strolling through the serene gardens atop Ginza 6. An evening that exceeded my expectations. I am grateful for the once-in-a-lifetime experience you provided. Thank you Maki!

Thank you for your review. Wd had a lot of fun at the adventurous izakaya in only men world, the sushi stand-up bar, and the beer hall! I learned a lot from hearing various stories from an expert of life. Thank you very much.

“Fantastic Ginza evening ”
We had a beautiful evening with Maki who took us on a culinary journey to a beautiful okonomiyaki restaurant and the to a small izakaya. This is an authentic Japanese experience, as a foreigner you cannot experience this on your own, and Maki explained many points of interest. We also had a lovely walk after dinner around Ginza and up to the top of Ginza 6 for the magnificent view of the city. I rated the tour 5 stars because Maki went out of her way to accommodate our interests and food preferences and was so kind and lovely to talk to. You will have a beautiful evening with Maki if you book a tour with her!
Maki K.

Tokyo Ginza Then and Now (Izakaya hopping tour in 3 hours)
You want to experience Izakaya like locals? Are you a little reluctant to drink in Shinjuku Kabukicho or the youth town of Shibuya? If so, I recommend Ginza, Yurakucho area! The area has some different profiles. There are deep izakaya alleys underneath the JR railways that retain a postwar atmosphere and also high-end streets where the district became first westernized after the Edo period. You can enjoy 2 very different types of drinking spots while touching about the history.

Tokyo Shitamachi Tour - Fukagawa -
Shitamachi literally means "downtown", but it is a Japanese term often used to describe old traditional towns located in Eastern Tokyo. The famous Shitamachi areas include Asakusa, Yanaka, Fukagawa, and more. In this tour, I feature Fukagawa. We visit Fukagawa Fudoson temple, Tomioka Hachimangu Shrine (not in Kamakura), Fukagawa Edo Museum, and Kiyosumi Garden. You can also enjoy town strolling in the Shitamachi atmosphere.
Let's explore genuine made-in Japan products in Nihonbashi!
During the Edo period, Nihonbashi was the starting point of the Five Roads that connected Tokyo with other areas, a place where a fish market was held, and a town of merchants. Many long-established stores still exist. Let's explore authentic Japanese souvenirs in Nihonbashi. Also, enjoy eating around Ningyocho, which is a performing arts town along with Asakusa and has many long-established gourmet restaurants.
