About Tour Guide Simone M.

Hello! Ciao!

My name is Simone, I’m Italian, and I’ve been living in Japan for many years. I know the culture of this wonderful country well, thanks to my Japanese wife, and I love sharing this passion with those who visit Tokyo.

I organize personalized tours to help you discover not only the main attractions but also the most authentic places, far from typical tourist paths.

We can explore fascinating neighborhoods like Yanaka, with its ancient streets, or visit traditional markets to taste delicious Japanese street food. We can also discover the historic Asakusa with its famous Senso-ji Temple or wander through the vibrant streets of Shibuya, known for its iconic crossing.

If you love food, I can take you to hidden restaurants to try sushi, ramen, or kaiseki meals, sharing everything about the ingredients and traditions. Each tour is tailored to offer a unique and unforgettable experience in real Tokyo. Let’s create the best memories of your trip together!

Organizzo tour personalizzati per aiutarti a scoprire non solo le principali attrazioni, ma anche i luoghi più autentici, lontani dai percorsi turistici tradizionali.

Possiamo anche scoprire la storica Asakusa con il suo famoso tempio Senso-ji o passeggiare per le vivaci strade di Shibuya, conosciute per il suo incrocio iconico.

Se ami la cucina, posso portarti in ristoranti nascosti dove provare sushi, ramen o pasti kaiseki, raccontandoti tutto sugli ingredienti e le tradizioni. Ogni tour è personalizzato per offrirti un'esperienza unica e indimenticabile nella vera Tokyo.
