About Tour Guide Takeshi H.

Hello! My name is Takeshi.

I am a National Licensed Guide Interpreter in English.

I was born in Tokyo. I worked for Canon for more than 30 years including a 5-year assignment to the U.S. office. Before joining Canon, I received a master's degree in engineering in the United States.

After retiring from the company, I began working as a volunteer guide for foreign visitors in Kamakura and Yokohama for a while.

However, I became fascinated by the beautiful nature of Nagano prefecture and decided to move here to the Yatsugatake Mountains, 1000m above sea level in Nagano a few years ago.

Since then I go out to look at the breathtaking mountains, lakes, and shrines every day. I would like to guide you to these special sites and also share with you the Japanese culture in my guided tours.

I am flexible and can customize the tour based on the customer's request.

I am also a Certified Travel Service Administrator. My hobby is Aikido and I hold the 2nd Dan black belt.

Hope to see you soon.

I enjoyed touring with takeshi very much.

He had a very pleasing personality and certainly a great knowledge of the areas that we covered. We were very tired, so he was very accommodating and taking us back when we needed to go back. I would be delighted to tow with the Takeshiagain anytime in the future. 10/10

Thank you for your review. Please visit Japan again to see the places you didn't see this time.

Great day at Daio Farm and Matsumoto Castle

Our family really enjoyed the day tour of Daio farm and Matsumoto Castle with Takeshi. Takeshi made sure everything was well organized for the day. All logistics were thought through and planned for and we also learned a lot.

A Great Day Throughout Tokyo With Takeshi

This was our first full day in Tokyo as first time visitors to Japan. Takeshi is very kind and pleasant and showed us the biggest highlights in Tokyo. We did the Tsukiji fish market (stopped for the most amazing tuna sushi), SkyTree, Solamachi shopping centre, Imperial Palace, Sensō-ji temple and market, and Akihabara. With two young boys in tote, it was a lot but just the right amount. He was also very helpful with helping us get our bearings and understanding how to get around using the train/subway systems. I am from Toronto and the transit system here is far more complex and elaborate. I highly recommend booking this tour with Takeshi. Thank you!

Richard T.

Mt.Fuji & Lake Kawaguchi-ko

Tokyo
12 hours

Mt.Fuji is not the tallest mountain in Japan, but it symbolizes Japan. It is 3,776m high and an independent peak representing Japan. From Shinjuku, you can take a special train to Mt Fuji. That is a 2-hour journey. Because of the majestic beauty of its ridgeline, it has been alive as a source of various cultures since ancient times. We recommend enjoying the view of Mt. Fuji from the five lakes surrounding Mt. Fuji, such as Kawaguchiko or Yamanakako. You can enjoy Mt.Fuji without climbing.
