My name is Akira.
I am certified national guide interpreter.

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.

“Great guide for Historic Tokyo”
We highly reccomend Akira for your personalized Tokyo tour! He commuicated with us before arrival, helped plan the tour we wanted, historiical Tokyo sights and local foods and Akira helped assemble an excellent experience. His knowledge of the history of the locations and customs was helpful at the Shrines we visited and he was such a great person to spend time with and talk to. Can't say much more but you should hire him with confidence and enjoy a fun and stress free experience.

Dear Jay, Thank you so much for the great review. I’m so glad you enjoyed the tour like I did (It was so much fun to talk to you and your wonderful family who are familiar with Gainesville, Georgia, not Florida!). I hope that not only the tour made a great graduation present to your wonderful son, but also great experience to know more about my city, my people, and my loving country. See you next time! Akira

“The best possible experience and the highlight of our trip!”
We were nervous about visiting Japan on our own, but having Akira as a guide made all the difference! The two days we spent with him were the highlight of our two-week adventure, setting the tone for the rest of our trip and helping us get our bearings. Akira was a fantastic guide - insightful, engaging, and easy to talk to. The journey he planned allowed us to explore our neighborhood and discover hidden gems we never would have found on our own. We always felt in good hands and appreciated how he tailored the experience to our interests. We even revisited some of the spots he introduced us to and made sure to check out his recommendations. Thanks to him, the rest of our vacation went smoothly - it was truly the best travel experience we've ever had, and Tokyo is now one of our favorite cities. Without a doubt, we’ll book Akira again on our next visit! The two weeks flew by, and we’d love to explore even more of Tokyo with his guidance. If you're planning a trip to Tokyo, don’t hesitate - Akira is an incredible guide, and you won’t be disappointed. Thank you again for everything, Akira!

Dear Francis, Thank you so much for the great review. It was so nice to hear that you revisited some of the places on your own and enjoyed exchange with locals again. I talked to the lady of the coffee shop the other day and we talked about how nice it was to welcome you and Sylvie. We were wondering how both of you liked the movie version of "La Rose de Versailles". I am so glad that you are not a type of people just visit popular sites just to put check marks on a bucket list. I always hope that participants of my tour can get an idea of what it is like to be a local in this city, and I'm so happy that it worked pretty well for both of you. I am looking forward to another chance to explore my loving city together. Sincerely, Akira

“Won’t find a better guide in Tokyo than Akira”
Akira was so knowledgeable about all the areas of Tokyo. He knows where all the amazing food and coffee shops are. In two days we walked 13 miles, not including all the trains, subways, buses and cable cars! The best part was that besides seeing all the touristy areas, we also got to walk through “regular” neighborhoods and see how the people in Tokyo really live. We learned so much and had the absolute best time. Could not recommend Akira more as a premier guide in Tokyo.

Dear Kelly, Thank you so much for the great review. And thank you so much for the opportunity to realize that how I lucky I am to be in a position to know wonderful people from all over the world like you and your wonderful husband. It was so much fun to show you my favorite spots, introducing my favorite people and having my favorite foods (and coffee!), enjoying exchange throughout the tours, in a peaceful and relaxing vibes. I hope (and I'm sure you will) you enjoy the rest of your days in Japan, and enjoy the rest of your life fully, instead of chasing bad guys anymore (!). I am looking forward to another chance to explore my loving city together. Sincerely, Akira
