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.

“Great tour with kids. ”
Dan was an excellent guide. From the moment he met us at our hotel he had our children interested. From the many Japanese candy treats to personalized name cards and Japanese word cards. Dan accommodated the tour to our needs of our children and what we wanted to see. He helped us with navigating train system, getting Shinkansen tickets and showing us some highlighted tourist places on our list. We didn’t have a schedule to stick to as this was our first day in Tokyo. It was a great way to just acclimatize into Japanese and Tokyo culture. The key is not to try do to many things and have a tick list and Dan was great at just giving us a relaxed start to our holiday with our children. Highly recommend.

“So much fun”
We had a fabulous time on our Tokyo tour with Dan. We were a group of 2 families (4 adults and 5 kids). All 9 of us enjoyed the tour with Dan. He was very friendly, knowledgable and fun. He came well prepared with snacks and lollies to bribe the kids. The kids had a ball...and so did we. Thank you very much Dan.

“Fantastic Tour”
Highly recommend this tour. Mt Takao is just gorgeous. Dan is an excellent guide and taught our 14 year old daughter to speak Japanese phrases, which she enjoyed. Nothing was a bother and the tour was adjusted to what we wanted to see and do. Highly recommend Dan for tours in Japan.
