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.
“100% worth it”
My husband and I highly recommend Akira. His English was flawless, he took us to places that were interesting to us (we provided general likes and dislikes ahead of time so he could provide recommendations), added some interesting commentary, and helped us find good food. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and really looked out for us to make our only day in Tokyo the best it could be.

Dear Nikki, Thank you so much for the great review. Also, thank you so much for the good sushi that we had, and thank you so much for the opportunity to discover joy of bird watching. I will take my binocular out from my closet to enjoy observing beautiful birds in gardens in my neighborhood this weekend. I’m looking forward to another chance to explore my loving city together. I hope you enjoy wonderful holidays. Sincerely, Akira
“2 Full Memorable Days Off The Beaten Track in Tokyo”
We spent 2 full days with Akira after a late decision to have a guide in Tokyo and we are so glad we did. Our time in Tokyo would never have been so rich and memorable without him. We asked him to show us more of the traditional Tokyo and, as well as seeing some of the more popular sights, he took us away from the centre to see where and how the locals live. We had some great food and tried the Tokyo monjayaki, better than its Osaka cousin, okonomiyaki, as well as some sake! He also took us to a small boutique coffee shop (Aoyama Coffee Roaster in Yanaka) where we had some hand dripped coffee along with some handmade sweets we bought in a nearby shop. We also managed to buy something in one of the kitchenware shops that we had been searching for at home without success. Akira has excellent English. He is a genuinely great guy, going out of his way to help some other tourists along our route.

Dear Naren, Thank you so much for the great review. It was my pleasure to guide people with good heart like you and Lesley. I’m so happy that everything (weather, color of foliage and etc.) was perfect on those two days. I hope the time that we spent together will be a good introduction of Japan. I’m looking forward to another chance to explore my loving city together. See you next time! Akira
“4 wonderful days in Tokyo”
Our family enjoyed 4 wonderful days with Akira . He is an excellent, knowledgeable guide with a passion for all things Tokyo . He is extremely polite and friendly and was only to happy to help out answering all our questions. Even on a day off he was making changes to our restaurant booking!! Could not recommend Akira enough. We were very lucky to have him guide us through busy Tokyo!!

Dear Nick, Thank you so much for the great review. I enjoyed the 4 days with happy laughter and fun questions and answers, and I’m so happy that you felt the same way. It gives me a great feeling to realize that nothing is going wrong when people being sincere, respectful to each other like we were. I am very sure that the rest of your Japan trip will be enjoyable, memorable, and fruitful one for you, and your beautiful family. Akira P.S. Tell your wonderful boys to be careful when they use curse words that I taught them haha.
