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.

Reviews

Wonderful day off the beaten path

Akira was a wonderful guide for us. He was flexible with our odd requests and was very comfortable to be around. It was like we had a good friend with us all day. We learned many things from him and I would highly recommend him as a guide.

Dear Jenn, Thank you so much! Your compliment “It was like we had a good friend with us all day” means a lot to me. I am so happy that you felt the same way just like I did. I am hoping that your next Japan visit with your students will be meaningful and fruitful one. Sincerely, Akira

A Fascinating Guide for a Fascinating City

Akira is a native of Tokyo and knows it perfectly. He escorted us on the Tokyo subway, by taxi and also by foot to a variety of temples and shrines, where he explained customs of prayer and respect. As we traveled around the city, he gave us practical instructions about how things work. He took us to various craft shops including ceramics, paper and fabric, as well as to interesting restaurants for lunch and dinner. Conversation flowed easily and was very informative. Akira is personable, exceptionally well-read in Japanese literature and history, and we learned a tremendous amount about Japan from him, while enjoying every minute. We give him our highest possible recommendation. Thank you for everything, Akira!

Dear Larry, Thank you so much for the great review. I am so glad to know that you enjoyed the tour and I hope the tour was meaningful enough to gave you valuable information on Japan, people, and their culture. We went to many places and it was fun. However, one of the most memorable part of the tour I can remember about the tour with you and Margaret will be conversation that we had. It was so nice to realize how lucky I was to know something universal such as great movies(Kurosawa, Coppola, Fellini, De Sica and etc.) and awesome literature (Ishiguro, Fitzgerald, Dostoyevsky and etc, etc,) connected us together. Thank you so much for letting me be a part of your Japan trip. I am looking forward to another chance to explore my loving city together. Sincerely, Akira P.S. About "War and Peace", I understand it's a long book, but maybe it is about time for me to muster up the courage to start reading it for the very first time at the age of 53.....

Great experience!!

We met with Akira for three days in Tokyo. He was fantastic! We experienced Tokyo as locals and not tourists… just as we requested. He took us to places from local coffee shops in quiet neighborhoods to great restaurants in the city where locals dine. His communication with us was great both before and during our visit. He was flexible in altering our tours if we wanted. We walked, took subways, trains, and streetcars all around Tokyo. Thank you for an incredible experience in exploring and experiencing Tokyo.

Dear Morris, Thank you so much for the great review. I am so so happy that you felt that you could experienced Tokyo as locals and not tourists, since that's what I have always hoped for. Thank you so much for having me not only as a guide but also someone like your friendly neighbor. It was my pleasure and so much fun to be with you and beautiful Rhonda for three days. I am looking forward to another chance to explore my loving city together. Sincerely, AKira
