About Tour Guide Uemitsu K.
Having been lived in Tokyo area for more than 40 years, I am competent to plan and guide a tailored Tokyo city. The itinerary will be selected from major commercial districts (such as Shibuya, Shinjuku, Akihabara, Ginza) , popular sightseeing places (Imperial palace, Asakusa, etc.) as well as famous architectures and building (Tokyo tower, Tokyo Sky Tree, Tokyo Government Building, etc.) .
In addition to watching sports events and movies, I like city walking in modern Tokyo, especially Shibuya, Ginza, and Roppongi, etc. Learning histories is also one of my favorite hobbies, which made me become a volunteer guide in the Edo Tokyo Museum since 2016.
My tour will focus on the interests of foreign guests through advanced negotiation and communication in order to finalize the spots and itinerary.

“Amazing day”
We had a really great day with Kageyama. The communication before the trip was excellent. He showed us some last minute cherry blossoms which we asked for. Including great tips and spots on how to get better pics with my new mobile phone ;) We asked him to show us some places besides the typical tourist spots. We were able to see some aeras and food places that you usually won't get the chance to see if you aren't familiar with the city. F.e. bought some amazing warabi mochi & sweets in a tiny little local shop. He also gave us tips for places that we could explore on our own and restaurant to enjoy the real deal Kobe/Wagyu. The tour ended at a bar of a hotel where he guided us to the reception so we we could enjoy an amazing view of Tokyo from the 45th floor while drinking a cup of coffee. Would have never found that spot for sure without his help. Highly recommend a tour with Kageyama. Thank you for making this day an absolute blast for us Kage-San!

“Great day exploring Japanese modern culture”
Uemitsu did a wonderful job creating an itinerary that fit our daughter’s interests. He explained well the different areas as we walked the streets of Tokyo in Harajuku, Shibuya, and Odaiba. He allowed time for shopping and exploring. He even called a location we had left due to long lines and found they had opening, so we headed back. We truly appreciated the time and effort put in to making this a great experience for our daughter’s learning more about Japan modern culture.
