Meeting Point
At Shinjuku Station or at your hotel (Tokyo)
- If you know how to get to Shinjuku Station, we will meet there. If you’re unsure how to reach Shinjuku Station, I will pick you up at your hotel. In that case, our meeting time may be earlier than 7:00 am.
Shinjuku Station
We will take the Fuji Kaiyu No.3 to head toward Shimoyoshida. Fuji Kaiyu is the fastest transportation to get to the region, arriving at 9:11.
Arakura Fuji Sengen Shrine
This is one of the most famous photogenic spots. A photo featuring the red 5-story pagoda, pale pink cherry blossoms, and beautiful Mt. Fuji covered in snow has been widely shared around the world, attracting more visitors to Japan. We need to climb up the mountain along a steep slope, so if you have difficulties walking, this may not be the best choice for you. The round trip from Shimoyoshida Station at the foot of the mountain takes about 40 minutes for relatively fast walkers.
Fujiyoshida Honcho Street
This is also a very famous photogenic spot on social media, so you may have seen photos taken here. It is located nearby, so we will take a walk to see the real view in person.
Oshino Hakkai
Oshino Hakkai, comprised of eight ponds, is famous for its spring water from Mt. Fuji. You will be amazed at how clean and clear the water in the ponds is. It is also well-known for offering beautiful views of Mt. Fuji through a traditional village landscape.
Historically, these ponds of natural spring water were associated with a religious group called 'Fujiko' and were registered as components of the World Cultural Heritage Site designation for Mt. Fuji.

About Tour Guide Keiko T.
Hello. I am Keiko, a nationally licensed tour guide for English-speaking tourists. I love traveling to new places, experiencing different cultures, and meeting new people. When I was young, I embarked on a long journey to explore more about my life. I settled in a small town in Illinois, USA, enjoying a new life while studying at the state university, and then moved to Florida to work for a while.
After coming back to Japan, I have been working in downtown Tokyo since 2008, mainly as a translator and sometimes as an interpreter in various fields, including central government offices, TV stations, and a university. Seeing the increased opportunities around the Tokyo Olympics 2020, I transitioned into the tourism industry and am currently working as a tour guide, basically giving day tours of downtown Tokyo, Fuji & Hakone, Kamakura and Nikko.
I love meeting people from different backgrounds, talking with them, and learning new things. That's why I enjoy hosting guests from abroad who want to explore Japan. Many local people helped me during my journey, and now it's time for me to give back. Come and meet me here; I will show you around amazing places in Japan.

“First class tour of Tokyo”
We thoroughly enjoyed a full day’s tour with Keiko seeing many of the important sites in Tokyo. Keiko speaks excellent English and was very clear in her description and explanation of the various locations we visited. We highly recommend Keiko as a guide to anyone who is wanting a good introduction to the city of Tokyo and its prestigious historical attractions.
Keiko T.
Fiona and Mark, I also enjoyed showing you around downtown Tokyo. Your enthusiasm for learning about and exploring Japan made it very rewarding for me. I hope you continue to have wonderful experiences at the places you visit and that your entire tour in Japan will be unforgettable.

“A portrait of professionalism ”
Keiko was professional, insightful, and flexible. She made our vacation stress free and exceeded our expectations! We toured with her for 3 days and she was proactive in meeting our desires & solving issues! I wanted a pair of prescription eyeglasses and she took us to the store that I suggested and it was jam packed. I was so disappointed & tired after a full day of touring. Without me knowing she researched and found another eyeglass shop that caters to locals. I was able to get a beautiful pair of glasses, for half the price I pay in the US, and they delivered them to our hotel. This is only one example of how she came through for us over the three days that we toured with Keiko! She made us both feel welcome & comfortable as we began our journey in Tokyo! She was a lot of fun & I wish we had more time with her! We are both very pleased that she helped us find the souvenirs and presents that we were looking for! Thank you Keiko for making our visit so special!!
Keiko T.
Yvette, thank you so much for your kind and warm review. I am truly grateful to both of you—an ideal couple I admire and aspire to follow. I also had a wonderful time with you, which has stayed and will always stay deeply in my heart as an unforgettable memory. If I ever have the chance to visit the Grand Canyon, I will be sure to let you know. When that time comes, let’s celebrate our reunion! Thank you again for your warm and genuine friendship. Keiko

“Great guide for Tokyo”
We really enjoyed our day with Keiko. We got to see a lot of Tokyo and we never felt we were just doing " the tourist thing ". She met us right at our hotel and we went from there. Keiko is super smart, has a great knowledge of Tokyo and was paitent with two people who had never been to Japan before
Keiko T.
Michael, thank you so much for the enjoyable time we spent together. It was truly a pleasure to guide someone as kind, respectful, and eager to learn about Japan and Japanese culture as you. If you have another opportunity to explore more of Japan, I would be delighted to guide you again!
