About Tour Guide Rodrigo S.

English


Hello! My name is Rodrigo, and I am a Brazilian guide who has been living in Japan for over six years.


My tours focus on creating experiences through walking tours. We explore different neighborhoods, visit markets, enjoy local food, go shopping, and experience everyday Japanese life in a natural and relaxed way.


All itineraries are flexible and adapted to each guest’s interests, whether that includes food, shopping, culture, neighborhoods, traditions, or daily life in Japan.


I help with language barriers, local etiquette, customs, transportation, and everyday situations that can be confusing for visitors.


I have a strong passion for sports and offer sports-focused experiences, such as running routes around Tokyo. We can explore the city through parks, riversides, and local areas. I also guide hiking and trail experiences near Tokyo, for example, Mount Takao.


I speak Portuguese and English and would be happy to guide you during your visit to Tokyo.
