About Tour Guide Rieko T.
Hi, I am Rieko, you can call me Ricky. I am a National licensed English speaking tour guide.
I was born in Yokohama, the neighboring city of Tokyo, and have lived there for a long time. So, I know a lot about Tokyo and the surrounding cities, such as Yokohama, Kamakura, Hakone, and Nikko.
My favorite things to do are traveling and talking with people. I have traveled more than 30 countries in the world and talked with a lot of people worldwide. And it is fun to host people from all over the world.
Cooking and eating are also one of my favorite things to do. Japan has a unique and a great food culture, and it is a great pleasure if I can introduce you various kinds of food you have never eaten before, and help you enjoy your stay in Japan.
I have a lot of recommended destinations, yet flexible about them. I can make your own plan according to your requests. Let's enjoy a tour in Japan with me!
I am really looking forward to meeting you!
See you soon.

“Asakusa Tour”
The tour with Rieko was truly like being taken around the area by a friend. Her knowledge of the area and awesome food and drink spots were spot on. She didn’t hesitate to answer all our questions about customs and traditions of Japan and its beautiful people. The lessons about the temple in Asakusa was very interesting. Thank you Rieko, we will be back to your beautiful country. Anne, Chris & Christine

“6 stars for Rieko”
Just finished a wonderful tour of Tokyo with Rieko. On a very hot day nothing was any trouble. I altered some of the planned itinerary at the last minute. Not a problem. So very friendly, helpful, respectful and knowledgeable. Even going as far as offering me her own personal cooling fan on a sweltering hot day. Saw lots of the city's sights, had excellent food, plenty of water and toilet breaks. Had a fabulous day with a wonderful lady. Michael

Dear Machael and Ali, Thank you very much for your warm words. You were also very friendly, and I truly enjoyed spending time with you. Although it was an extremely hot day, we managed to visit many places and had so many good conversations that the day passed in no time. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to join you in Yokohama, but I highly recommend visiting Sankeien Garden. It is a truly beautiful garden. Its founder, Sankei Hara, is considered a great benefactor of Yokohama and is also known for preserving Japan’s traditional art. You can learn more about him at the museum inside the garden. I hope you will also enjoy a wonderful cruise. Have a safe travel. Rieko

“Quick tour of two restaurants”
We had a very nice time with Rieko on our first night in Tokyo. She took us to an izakaya and a okonomiyaki restaurant. We enjoyed our time together.

Excursion off the Beaten Track in the Suburbs of Tokyo
We will explore the western suburbs of Tokyo in this tour. If you are looking for something different from the crowded tourist attractions in the central part of Tokyo, you will enjoy exploring the western suburbs of Tokyo. I recommend this tour not to first timers but to repeaters who have been to famous places in Tokyo. You will discover traditional spots in the beautiful environment of the suburbs. Weather permitting, lunch in a local restaurant can be replaced by a picnic lunch in a park.
