About Tour Guide Jolly S.
Hello! I'm Jolly, government-licensed guide with over 10-year experience of guiding foreign guests from around 40 countries. Are you looking for a friendly and knowledgable guide to talk with a lot? Are you interested in history and clues to understand Japanese culture? If you say "yes", why don't you join my tour?
Tokyo is a wonderful city having various aspects. With its 400-year history, Tokyo has a lot of traditional spots like splendid Buddhist temples and serene Shinto shrines. You can also find beautiful traditional Japanese gardens. On the other hand, Tokyo never stops changing. Every year new spots emerge and trend-conscious people enjoy visiting sophisticated shopping districts. Various types of amusement are available from digital art museums to cat cafes. And another very important point is Tokyo is full of delicious food!
I love Tokyo and I'd be happy if I could help to make your stay in Tokyo more enjoyable. I'll take you various spots including both traditional and modern ones according to your requests. I really like to talk with my guests about various topics like Japanese culture, religions, history, art, food, everyday life of Japanese etc...
I'm looking forward to seeing and guiding YOU soon!

“Ginza Architectural tour”
Jolly is an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide with a deep interest and understanding of the various architectural landmarks in Ginza. She was very well prepared and we passed a very pleasant afternoon in her company strolling and admiring many sites in this famous neighborhood. Well known for it’s luxurious brands, it was wonderful to have this added dimension to our stay. I highly recommend Jolly, she was very nice to be with and clearly enjoys sharing her interest in both art and architecture with visitors to this wonderful city. Thank you for creating a memorable experience for us Jolly!

“No h?sitation visiting Tokyo with Jolly”
With Jolly, we learned a lot about Japan today and rhe past. She took us to both spiritual places and very commercial areas, as we asked to. She was also very helpful in advising us for our next day visits. Only sorry that we could not stay longer with her than the 4-hours tour. Next time for sure.

(11 reviews)Thank you so much for your warm review! You're so friendly and intelligent people interested in history and culture. I felt really happy because you listened earthestly to my stories. I enjoyed a lot talking with you about various topics. I also felt sorry to say good bye to you, but today we used a chartered taxi and you had to pay an extra charge for an extended period of time. That's why I tried to finish the tour on time... I hope to see you again someday. Keep enjoying your adventure in Japan!! Jolly
