Hello,
My name is Akira.
I am certified national guide interpreter.
I have been living in Tokyo for more than 30 years.
I love walking in the city with no particular plan finding trasures in the streets such as nice ramen noodle restaurants, cafes, funny billboards, and most of all, narrow alleys that remind me of good old days.
I will help you enjoying the days in the city fully and making your vist memorable one.
I am looking forward to seeing you soon.

“Probably one of the best guides in Tokyo”
My family and I had an absolutely spectacular day with Akira! He put together a thoughtfully curated tour that struck the perfect balance between iconic sights (like Meiji Shrine and Shibuya Crossing) and more relaxed, off-the-beaten-path moments, such as exploring charming old-school residential neighborhoods. Akira is incredibly knowledgeable, genuinely considerate, and his English is flawless. We felt both well taken care of and enriched by the experience. We can only recommend booking a tour with Akira. You won’t regret it!

Dear Marc, Thank you so much fro the great review. I am so glad that you, and your wonderful family, enjoyed not only those iconic sights but also local neighborhoods that I love. I hope that today's tour will be memorable enough to make you want to know more about Japan. I am looking forward to another chance to explore my loving city together. See you next time! Akira

“Best Tokyo Guide!”
I booked a day’s tour with Akira of key sites in Tokyo because I wanted a local perspective and to appreciate the local customs. Akira took me to hidden local neighbourhoods, the best cafe that sold the best cream bun ever and perhaps best drip coffee in Tokyo! We also had a great lunch in a local restaurant (and satisfied my craving for sashimi). I deeply appreciated learning how to behave respectfully at the Meiji Shrine and the insights he shared. Akira had brought my 18-year-old son around Tokyo for two days in 2019. I never forgot how much my son enjoyed having Akira bring him around Tokyo. Truly glad I managed to get Akira on my free day in Tokyo. Book Akira for your Tokyo tours - you can’t get anyone better! Thanks again, Akira!

Dear Ovida, Thank you so much for the great review. When I got a contact from you for your second Tokyo visit asking me if I could show you around the city, I knew it would be a great day with fun. I knew it because you have a wonderful son and I could easily imagined that such a great kid's mother must be a beautiful human being. I am so happy that you enjoyed favorites of local like me. I am so happy that you are a type of person who see, enjoy, and appreciate things as they are with no preconceptions. I would like to thank you for your showing respect to local people and culture, and also I would like to thank you for enjoyable and informative conversations on your unique country and culture. Thank you so much for having me again. I am looking forward to explore my loving city together. Sincerely, Akira
