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

Wonderful day

We are a family of five with three adult/teenage children on a first trip to Tokyo. We didn’t have much idea of what to see and do but Chiaki made what turned out to be some excellent suggestions. She was very engaged in communication before our trip so we made some adjustments and then again on the day as I had hurt my leg and it was particularly hot and humid. We combined better known attractions with things we never would have thought of or found without a guide. She was delightful company with very good English. Chiaki created a wonderful day for us in Tokyo and I could not recommend her highly enough.

Dear Killian, thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review! It was truly a pleasure guiding your beautiful family. I’m so glad the day turned out to be a memorable one, despite the heat and humidity. It was fun spending the day with you all, talking about international politics, Japanese culture and religion, and your kind words mean a lot to me. I hope your leg will be better soon and especially hope all of you go back home safely and smoothly. Also wishing Maria having a joyful vacation in Southeast Asian countries. Thank you and take care!

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.
