About Tour Guide Haruka N.
Hi there! My name is Haruka. I just back from a big journey in Sydney, Australia! I love to travel and try new experiences. I visited Hawaii, Bali, Bangkok, Taiwan, and all around Australia! Also, some parts of Japan.
However, I was born, and raised around Tokyo(I moved different area when I was young). I love animals, beaches, snorkels, free diving, nature, coffee, yummy foods, and sharing different cultures!
Before I moved to Australia I worked as a Paediatric Dental Hygienist then moved to Australia I did a few different jobs such as Au pair, waitress, dental assistant/receptionist etc... Once I got back to Tokyo, I was thinking so much that what I want to do and what I’m good at. I like to show and explain to people and I also realised how amazing Japanese culture is when I see it from outside of Japan. So, that’s the reason why I started this guide job!
As I mentioned I did work as a kid's dental hygienist and babysitting job so, I’m very keen to take your family on my tour (of course I’m happy to take any kind of group though). My tour style is very open so if you can’t find exactly what you want to do or something you don’t want to do which includes the plan I’m more than happy to make a special plan for you just shoot me a message!
I’m looking forward to showing you around my favourite area of Tokyo!

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.
