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

Custom Tour in Tokyo

I had a fantastic day exploring Tokyo with Chiaki as my guide! From start to finish, she was knowledgeable, kind, and attentive, ensuring that my custom tour was both enjoyable and enriching. One of the highlights was experiencing the burning ritual at the fire temple, which was truly special. I also loved visiting the shrines and learning more about their history and significance. Chiaki made the entire day fun and memorable, and I truly appreciated her insights and warm personality. I’m already looking forward to my next visit to Tokyo and another wonderful day with her. Highly recommend!

Dear Margo-san, thank you so much for your kind words! It was truly a pleasure guiding you through Tokyo and sharing some of my favorite places with you. I’m so glad you enjoyed the tour. It was wonderful exploring Tokyo and having fun talk together. Your enthusiasm and curiosity made the day even more enjoyable! I would love to welcome you back to Tokyo whenever you visit again. I hope you and your husband will enjoy the cruise tour and collect more stamps for your Gosyuincyo, then return home safely. Arigato! Please take care!

Incredible Guide and an Amazing Introduction to Japan!!

I honestly cannot say enough about how wonderful a guide Chiaki is. She is a wonderful person and amazing guide who provided us with an incredible introduction to a complicated city. From the start, her warmth, humor and passion to provide us a pleasant experience was evident. Organized and caring, we could not have found ourselves in better hands. We opted for two days with Chiaki and are super glad we did as there is so much to see, do and learn in Tokyo. This was our first time ever using a private guide and we are extremely glad we did. Finally, the Go With Guide platform has been very easy to use and communicate through. Five stars all around!!

Arigato Joe-san, for sending me a warm message and your email address. And I also appreciate for posting such a fantastic review! I enjoyed being with you so much. You are a wonderful couple and we had joyful time together. I found out new points of view through your questions during the tour and it was fun! And I appreciate you posted our photo in Asakusa. After I left you at Shinjuku yesterday, I thought I should have taken your picture for my memory. Thank you for everything and I’m looking forward to seeing you in our future! Please send my best wishes to Marit-san!

Wonderful guide and wonderful experience

Chiaki customised the tour itinerary to our particular requirements and was most helpful in arranging the rail bookings for our onward travel. Her English is excellent and she is fluent in colloquial conversation. She also has a lovely personality and sense of humour. Chiaki was the perfect guide for a couple of Aussies in Tokyo.
