Living in downtown Tokyo, my guiding expertise is all over Tokyo, including but not limited to Ueno, Asakusa, Ryogoku, Akihabara, Imperial Palace, Harajuku and Ginza area.

“Amazing, truly personalized custom private tour!”
Tsutomu san exceeded every expectation! He was extraordinarily thoughtful, detailed, and flexible with out family which included ages 3-74. His thoughtfulness included taking pictures of our family at every stop and collate them to match a numbered/alphabetized map of the Tokyo metro so that we can match each picture with each stop, walking hand in hand with my 3yr old, and adjusting our tour to perfectly match our pace and preferences on the spot. Truly made our first day in Tokyo amazing and so special!!! Mahalo Tsutomu san! We look forward to our second tour with you!!

Today’s tour was not “work” for me. I can define it as “family activity”. When you do something for your family, you are truly motivated to do your best. You don’t need to “think” when you do something for your family. When you do something for your family, the last thing you wish to do is disappointing them. You naturally and unconsciously perform your best. I really appreciate you for motivating me to do my best, which came so naturally in me as soon as we started this morning. You are the very reason why I love the job of tour guiding. If you need any support while you are in Hokkaido, please do not put up with any inconveniences - you are here to enjoy yourselves. Please call me so I can try to help you. I hope the jet lag will be gone soon - enjoy!!!

“Outstanding Guide”
My wife and I toured four days with Tom. I highly recommend him as your private tour guide. He customized each day to our priorities and was knowledgeable about each site visited. He was thoughtful and communicated effectively both in planning and while on tours. We felt comfortable and safe at all times. Definitely exceeded our expectations.
Tsutomu H.
Stephen and Sherri from Tom, I really appreciate the wonderful time you so kindly allowed me to spend with you. I also thank GoWithGuide for presenting me with such a wonderful opportunity. While it was an important work for me, it has turned out to be more like a quality time I truly enjoy being with such nice people. I feel that I truly enjoyed working for you during those 4 days. If my service was good, it’s a pure reflection of how nice of people you are. Meeting with nice people is the greatest joy in doing the tour guide. I want to thank you once again for making me happy. I will think about you a lot and I hope we will meet again!! Sincerely, Tsutomu “Tom” Harada

“Great guide makes for a great day”
Due to an injury to our original guide, Tsutomu (Tom) was his replacement and what a replacement, excellent in every aspect. Communication, English, knowledge, pace of tour, notably the transport system were superb.
Tsutomu H.
I do appreciate your kindness that comes from warm heart. Initially the day had started as “work” but shortly after, I found myself truly enjoying the day. The greatest joy of a tour guide is meeting with nice people and you made my day. If my service was good, it is totally because of your character and considerations. I thank you once again for being with my guests, which has become my unforgettable memory. With all my very best. Tom

Full Day Tokyo Key Sites#1 (8 Hours)
Basic concept of this tour is to cover the key sites of Tokyo . You will see both the old and new faces of Metropolitan Tokyo altogether. This tour is based on public transportation, so it will involve some walkings but I will adjust the amount of walking depending on your condition and feelings. Regardless of the season, I will include the seasonal beauty of Japan for your fullest satisfaction.

Both are my standard plans and my objective is to give you the best part of Tokyo in 8 hours.. I customize the tour especially for you.

Full Day Nikko Key Sites #1 (11 Hours)
In Japan, there is a saying (pun) that goes "Don't say Kekko until you see Nikko", which means "Don't say you are fully satisfied until you see Nikko". The great representation of Nikko is the combination of unparelled Cultural World Heritage Site of Toshogu Shrine and pure beauty of nature at Kegon Falls and Lake Chuzenji. This tour covers all of those key sites with my professional explanation of history and culture behind those heritages. Let's discover beauty of Nikko and exclaim "Kekko!!"

Temple or Shrine, Let's distinguish together!!
You may visit to the historical places when you come over to Japan. If you visit to Kyoto or other historical places, I highly recommend you to know the difference between the shrine and temple based on your knowledge. Tokyo has been the center of Japan not economical but cultural and historical places. I will take you to the place you can feel the time passed over 150 years with the urban style of Tokyo.
