You never see Tokyo until you see Edo. By joying the tour, you will experience the present Japanese culture, history, the way of thinking, and a sense of beauty developed from the Edo period. I am sure I provides you with the most impressive tour.

In 1603 the first Tokugawa shogun, established the Edo government. This is the beginning of Edo, From then on, Tokyo's history & Tokyo culture started.

About Tour Guide Nobuo K.

Hi, I'm Nobuo. Please call me "Nob" or "Noby".

I am a national certified English tour guide.

I became a tour guide, after working for a foreign company for over a quarter century.

I am interested in the Edo (the old name of Tokyo) culture. And I also join volunteer groups which are "the Edo-Tokyo Museum" and "the Imperial Palace East Gardens", which used to be the Edo Castle.

You will learn the present Japanese culture, history, the Japanese way of thinking, and a Japanese sense of beauty based on the Edo culture by joying the tour. I am sure that I can provide you with the most impressive tour.

I hope you enjoy your stay in Japan. I'm looking forward to seeing you soon!

“First time visit to Japan ”

This was our very first time visiting Japan. Kono made sure that our first visit went smoothly. He's an excellent tour guide. He was very prompt, organized, and courteous. We had a very tight timeline. He made sure that we were able to fit in everything that we planned. He was also good with giving suggestions. I would definitely hire him again. Kono made our first visit to Japan a positive experience!

Felicia-san, Thank you so so much for taking my tours. Also thank you for the great comments. I am happy to hear you enjoyed the tour. Were you able to enjoy Mt. Fuji or take bullet train(Shinkansen) on 5th? If you have a chance to visit Tokyo again, let me know. I will take you capybara café, also Asakusa, Skytree, Tsukiji fish Market and so on. Best Regards, Kono.
