About Tour Guide Dan C.
Hi I’m a friendly Australian living in Japan for 20 years. I work as a Kindergarten teacher here so I design my tours to be very Family Friendly: stress free for the parents and exciting for the kids. I particularly love to make little packs filled with goodies for the kids so they can experience what Japanese kids do. I want my guests to experience a real Japan and I love teaching Japanese to the little ones. * Children with special needs and/or mobility issues are especially welcomed. I can make accommodations and plan a tour based on their unique needs.

“Amazing for kids!! ”
Dan was the perfect choice for our family tour of Tokyo with our 5 year old daughter. He was so considerate and helpful. 10/10 would recommend.

“Fantastic tour for the family ”
From the very first enquiry all the way through to the end of our tour with Dan, he was fantastic. He really catered for the kids - aged 4 and 5 (6 the following day!) and made the whole experience enjoyable. The kids loved it all and so did us adults. Dan was even really helpful in sourcing a birthday cake for my daughter’s birthday and he was loved by the children. We visited a number of places of interest and Dan offered to either meet us near our hotel or in shinjuku itself. His communication was brilliant and even tried to teach both children Japanese phrases, and offered Japanese snacks for the kids (always goes down well!). Would highly recommend booking Dan - whether you have kids or not. If you have children then definitely book him!

“Tokyo with kids (DAN)”
Our family had a great time with Dan in Tokyo. Kids love the sightseeing and the games and puzzles along the way. They learned some basic Japanese good manners. Dan does a great job and super helpful with anything you might need in Japan.
