About Tour Guide Chiaki K.

Welcome to Japan! My name is Chiaki. I’m a government licensed guide interpreter, a wife and mother of two grown-up children. I’ve been living in Tokyo for 30 years so I know the area well.

If you don’t want to miss popular “must see” places, wish to eat a variety of Japanese popular and delicious food, have particular interest in Japanese theatrical arts, architectures, gardens, tea ceremony and “kawaii” characters, or are tired of tourist spots and like to see the real life of people in Japan, I can help you.

My goal is to help you to make your stay in Japan as memorable and fulfilling as possible. If I can serve you to make your special trip more special, it will be my pleasure.


Reviews

Great guide who showed us an excellent, customized experience

Chiaki was a great guide, dedicated to creating a customized experience tailored to what we wanted to see. We did a 6 hour tour of the sites we were interested in. As we were creating the day’s agenda , Chiaki offered great suggestions and options to fill out the rest of the day and on how to best group the sites to minimize time spent in transit. She share a lot of helpful, informative insights the day of the tour to help us better understand Japan, Tokyo, the sites we Saige and the Japanese culture. Highly recommend!!!

Dear Amy, thank you so much for your kind review! I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour. It was a pleasure working together to create a day and sharing the culture and history of Japan, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to guide you. I think you are back to your usual busy days now. Don’t work too hard and please send my best wishes to David! Thank you again for the recommendation! I hope your business trip to Japan will be successful!.

Knowledgable and caring Tokyo Guide

I booked Chiaki for 4 days to guide my Mother, who was visiting Tokyo on her own. Between Chiaki and myself, we planned a bespoke itinerary, based on my Mother’s interest in the arts, craft, culture and food. Chiaki was always responsive, flexible, organised, and went above and beyond. At every step, I felt confident that my Mum would be well cared for. Chiaki is a reliable and competent guide and my Mum had a very memorable time in Tokyo. I would not hesitate to use her services again.

Thank you Joanna, for your wonderful review! Please see my reply on iMessage!

Chiaki is a national treasure

This was our second tour with Chiaki. She is always respectful, attentive, informative, and kind. She met us at our hotel in Ginza which I believe is hugely helpful especially for those who don’t know their way around the city yet. Her tours involve walking and subway train rides so be sure to have your subway train pass ready. We use the Suica app in our Apple wallet - very easy to use! This tour we went to Tsukiji market which our family enjoyed immensely! We sampled lots of food and viewed many types of food we hadn’t seen before. After, she took us to the fire ritual at the Buddhist temple Fukagawa Fudou-do temple. It was amazing to watch the event! We then traveled to the Imperial Palace to view the grounds and get some history from Chiaki. Next we travelled to Harajuku and walked to the Meiji Temple where we saw a wedding party in traditional attire. Lastly we stopped for lunch near Shibuya where we enjoyed talking to her over a meal about Japan and its culture. I have already booked another tour with Chiaki when we return in October! I highly recommend her for your next tour.

Cheryl さん、Thank you so much for your kind and generous review! It was such a pleasure to see you again and meet your lovely family for another day of exploring Tokyo together. I’m so glad you enjoyed the experiences—from the lively Tsukiji Market and the powerful fire ritual, to the peaceful Meiji Shrine and the buzz of Shibuya. I was happy to share these experiences with your family and enjoyed together. You have beautiful boys! They are not only very handsome but also have warm and fun personalities. You must be proud of them! I’m looking forward to seeing you and Bob again in October! Until then, take care and thank you again for your trust and support. すばらしいレビューをありがとう。つぎに あう日を たのしみにしています!
