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.
“Akira was the perfect guide for our family.”
We came as a family of four and booked Akira for 3 days of touring. Our flight got rescheduled and we had to miss our first day. Akira was kind enough to switch days to a different day of our trip. Akira was very accommodating with all our changes based on what the teenagers wanted to experience and he was able to reshape our tour on the fly. Akira was engaging with each one of us and we had some amazing conversations. He took us to some intruiging spots we never would have found on our own. He was extremely pleasant and informative and we would recommend him highly without reservation.

Dear Egbert, Thank you so much for the great review. I am so glad to know you had a great time like I did. It was pretty hard for me to realized some time during the tour that I was guiding customers, in a good way. It made me feel that I was guiding people I had known for many years and I’m so happy that I sensed that I had had intimate exchange with you and your wonderful family. Thank you so much for giving me another chance to make me realized that being a guide is one of the greatest things that happen to me, and the world that I’m living is great and fun place. I’m looking forward to another chance to exploring my living city together. Sincerely, Akira
“From shrines and temples to Shibuya!”
We had a great day with Akira. He helped us create a tour that highlighted our pecific interests so we a good mix of some traditional sights as well as a few tourist hotspots. Akira was super responsive and communicative with us helping us plan the day before we arrived. My 16 year old son and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour and Akira, he is a great guy and a great host!

Dear Glenn, Thank you so much for the great review. I had a great day with you and your wonderful son. I am so glad that you like the tour over all, especially my favorite side of Tokyo that I call "Tokyo with no makeups." And also, I am so glad that you are a kind of person that you enjoy and appreciate what you see as it is, with no strong preconception, even though you seemingly had done great deal of research about Tokyo. I admire you for your warm, sincere and humble personality. I believe no one here treat someone like you bad and I am sure that you will enjoy the rest of your days in Japan. I am looking forward to another chance to explore my loving city together. Sincerely, Akira
“Tokyo Neighborhood Experience”
Akira did a great job taking us to local neighborhoods and parts of Tokyo that we wouldn’t have found on our own. We had a very nice day tour with him. We would recommend for anyone who wants to see more of Tokyo like a local.
