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.

Exceptional Tokyo Experience with Keiko

I recently had the pleasure of exploring Tokyo with Keiko as our private tour guide, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! Our group of 10 people was incredibly impressed with her depth of knowledge, fluency in English, and remarkable patience. From the moment we met Keiko, it was clear that she was not only passionate about her city but also genuinely interested in tailoring the experience to fit our group's interests. Her extensive knowledge of Tokyo's history, culture, and hidden gems enriched our tour and gave us insights that we would never have discovered on our own. Keiko's fluency in English made communication seamless and enjoyable. She effortlessly answered all our questions and provided detailed explanations, ensuring that everyone in our group was engaged and informed. Her storytelling skills brought the history and culture of Tokyo to life, making each stop on our tour both educational and entertaining. One of the standout qualities of Keiko was her patience. Managing a group of 10 can be challenging, but Keiko handled it with grace and ease. She was attentive to everyone's needs, accommodating our requests and pacing the tour perfectly to keep us all comfortable and engaged. What truly set Keiko apart was her ability to make our time in Tokyo efficient without feeling rushed. She expertly navigated the city's bustling streets and public transport, maximizing our time and allowing us to see an impressive array of sights. From iconic landmarks to off-the-beaten-path treasures, Keiko curated an itinerary that was diverse and memorable. In conclusion, Keiko is an exceptional guide who made our Tokyo experience unforgettable. Her knowledge, language skills, patience, and efficiency are unparalleled. If you're looking for a tour guide who will enhance your visit to Tokyo, Keiko is the perfect choice. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone seeking an enriching and enjoyable exploration of this vibrant city.

Amir, thank you so much for your incredible review. I’m truly flattered. I’m also delighted to hear that you all enjoyed the day trip with me. The time we spent together was memorable for me as well. You were all so friendly, kind, and fun to be around. Your strong curiosity and enthusiasm to learn more about Japanese culture created a wonderful atmosphere and inspired me to share many stories about Japan’s history. Thank you once again for spending such a fantastic day with me. Wishing you all the best, and I truly hope we’ll have the chance to meet again someday!

Wonderful time and auspicious encounters

Touring with Keiko was like being shown around by a great friend. We paced ourselves carefully as I had a sore knee, but she made sure we took breaks and was careful not to lose us in the crowds. Meiji Jingu Shrine was so beautiful and we were so lucky as to attend during the Shichi Go San festival. So many adorable children in kimono and hakama. We also saw two traditional weddings there. Keiko explained how to follow tradition, the stories about the Tori gates, read and explained the Tanaka poems from the Emperor and Empress, and the history behind the shrine and surrounding forest. After taking a quick peek at Takeshita Street we moved on to Shibuya and enjoyed an awesome lunch of sukiyaki then got to experience the hustle of Shibuya Crossing ourselves. Afterwards she led us to a spot that we could get good pictures looking down at the crossing as well. Next was Shinjuku and the awesome 3D cat billboard we wanted to see and the Godzilla head. We took a break to people watch and she told us more about Kabukicho. We walked through Omoide Yokocho as she informed us of the storied history. A quick stop to look at Shimbashi station then our day finished at Odaiba with a look at the Statue of Liberty replica and some beautiful illuminations. She artfully led us through the maze of the train stations helping us to minimize stairs and when we wanted to take taxis, she led the way for us. If we had the time, this trip we would have absolutely done more of her tours. Next trip for sure.

Keiko T.

Lorraine, thank you so much for your wonderful review. I truly enjoyed spending time with you as well. You are so kind and friendly, making it easy to talk to you and fun to be around. Walking tours in Tokyo can be challenging for those who find it difficult to walk long distances or navigate stairs, but I’m glad you were able to complete the tour and enjoy all the destinations we planned. Choosing to use a taxi alongside public transportation was a wise decision, as it helped us conserve energy for the walking we needed to do. As you experienced, Downtown Tokyo is vast and full of exciting places to explore. There’s always more to see! When you continue your journey with your family next autumn, I hope to see you again!
