About Tour Guide Akira N.

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.

“Tokyo tour with Akira”

We loved our tour with Akira. He is a very friendly knowledgeable person and took us to places where we would otherwise not have visited. We felt that we learned a lot and had a great introduction to Tokyo life, its culture and history. We would highly recommend Akira as your guide for Tokyo

Akira N.

Dear Andy, Thank you so much for the great review. I loved our tour with you and beautiful Lynn. I know you'll see more from the rest of your Japan trip and I am very sure is that the country and people will love people like both of you. I hope that this Japan trip will be enjoyable and memorable one. See you next time! Akira

“A wonderful day with an exceptional guide”

Our Personalized Tokyo Journey was exceptional. Akira was everything we could have asked for in a guide... organized, communicative, helpful, punctual, knowledgeable, friendly, and flexible! We very much enjoyed our day with him and got to experience a side of Tokyo that very few tourists likely do, just as we had hoped. In addition to tour guide duties Akira also very generously acted as a photographer as well, capturing lasting memories of our adventure. We would recommend Akira to other travelers in the highest possible terms.

Dear Ryan, Thank you so much for the great review. I am so glad you enjoyed the tour (just like I did!). By the way, just few days ago, I went to the same shrine that we went and there was one cat that kept crying which I thought was it (I say "it" cuz I didn't know if it was male or female)was saying something to me. Maybe it was saying hello to your wonderful son. Anyway, thank you so much for having me this time, and I am looking forward to another chance to explore my loving city together. Sincerely, Akira

“Great local tour”

Akira guided us on a 7 hour tour around some more local areas of Tokyo and it was really interesting to see this side of the city. We asked him a LOT of questions and he was more than happy to answer them all, and showed an interest in us as well. He was a great guide for the day and couldn’t recommend him enough. Thank you Akira!

Dear Sarah, Thank you so much for the great review. Observing our exchange during the tour, I found you, and your wonderful husband, are very thoughtful, respectful and heart warming people. I love the way you try to learn things as much as you can while being yourself. I hope this Japan trip will be enjoyable and memorable one for both of you. Sincerely, Akira
