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.

Other than Metropolitan Tokyo, I can guide you in Yokohama, Kamakura, Mt. Fuji, Hakone and Nikko. My goal is to give you the best of my 64 years knowledge and experience of Japan. My English is fluent at the native level as I have studied, lived and worked in the United States, Hong Kong and Singapore for many years.

Excellent tour!

We had a wonderful day touring with Tsutomu. He provided lots of interesting background and details about the places we visited, and he was also a kind and pleasant person. We would definitely take another tour with Tsutomu if we visit Tokyo again!

Highly recommendable guide!

Tom is a great guy and guide! Very helpfull and caring. We did a full day tour in Nikko, leaving from Shinjuku where he picked us up at the hotel, and dropped us off in our hotel in Nikko at the end of the day. Speaks very well English as well. Tom is highly recommendable!

Frank, thank you so much for your kind words. I really enjoyed guiding you and your group. You are a wonderful Tour Leader who truly cares about the guests, tour guide and a driver. Any tour guide would love to work for you. I’ll be wishing nothing but the very west for you and the group so you can fully enjoy the rest of the tour. All my very best. Tom

Wonderful day with tom

Our two days with Tom were such a wonderful experience and introduction to Tokyo. He met us at our hotel and we instantly bonded over the fact that he had lived in the USA for many years. He was such an intelligent and professional guide who showed us the best of Tokyo in two full days. We walked all over the subway system with ease and experienced so many of the top sites in Tokyo. I cannot say enough about how wonderful Tom is as a guide. And will be recommending him to everyone I know.

Lin K.

Tsutomu H.

Good thoughts radiate. Lin and the team were so kind and thoughtful. During those two days while I luckily had a chance to guide them, I have never had a notion that I was working. As we say it, time flies when we are having fun. It was such a quality time for me to spend with a nice person as Lin and a group. Meeting with such a nice person at work gives me a wonderful perspective for the future, meaning I look forward to the next job. Human psychology is that good experience gives you a similar insight and expectations for the near future. I truly appreciate you!!
