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.

“An Amazing Tour for Families with Kids”
We have done the tour with Dan on our very first day and we were very lucky to do it that way! He has shown us the highlights of Tokyo and made sure the kids were engaged all throughout the tour. He was very energetic and fun. Highly recommended for all families with kids who visit Tokyo!

“Tokyo with kids! ”
No doubt one of the best decisions of the trip to spend some time with Dan on our first day in Tokyo. Dan is not a kid friendly guide, he IS a guide for kids. And while the parents are getting their share of “must see” in a well planned tour, the kids are in the center of attention. Dan”’s name was afterwards on our kids lips the whole time in Japan. They even refer to some of the streets we walked on as “Dan’s path”. The whole family had a great time and it is all thanks to Dan, his great personality and genuine interest in kids and people! Ps our kids are 9&11.

“Perfect Tokyo Intro for Kids!”
Without a doubt I would recommend Dan for a tour to Tokyo! If you have children, Dan will be the best choice you make for your trip. He asks questions about them ahead of the tour and has specifically prepared itinerary and gift bag for each kiddo. He was so attentive to our 10&13yo needs. If this is your first day in Tokyo or your 10th, it is a great tour to to just focus on having fun with the kids and providing a good intro to Japan. I wouldn't hesitate to use Dan again anytime I return to Japan!
