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.

“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!

Akira N.

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

“Unbelievable Private Personalized Tour of Tokyo East”

This was our second day with Akira N. and it was also great . He met us at our hotel and we went to the Imperial Palace . Then through the Tsukiji Market which was fun . We picked up Kobe Sushi and Tuna Sushi and it was unbelievable. Also , we did a Sake tasting to top it off. Then on through different areas of Tokyo and ended at Shibuya Crossing . During the two days , we rode trains, the subway , a bus and a streetcar . It was fantastic. He is literally one of the best guides we have ever had touring. I highly recommend Akira N.

Dear Victor, Thank you so much for the great review. Yes, Tsukiji Market was so much fun! Thank you so much for the top graded tuna, Kobe beef and sake. And also, thank you so much for the delicious bowl of ramen! I want you to know that I enjoyed every moment, and all the things we had, just like you did. Thank you (and beautiful Amanda!!), so much for treating me like one of your friendly neighbors throughout the tour. I hope you'll enjoy the rest of this Japan trip fully. See you next time! Akira

“Great Personalized Tour of West Tokyo”

This is a Five Star review. Our guide was the best. He picked us up at our hotel and we navigated the train system. He taylored the tour to our style and speed . We visited The Menji Shrine and learned a lot about Japanese Culture . We visited several neighborhoods and local spots . We had lunch at a wonderful local restaurant which we would never have found on our own. Akira N. is an excellent guide . We highly recommend him. Again 5 Stars .

Dear Victor, Thank you so much for the great review. I am so happy to know that your very first full day in Japan was pleasant (the weather was perfect!), informative, and enjoyable one. I think I could show you two different sides of the city, busy, crazy and chaotic part and local neighborhoods with old-school Tokyo vibes, that I think both will be a good benchmarks for the rest of your Japan trip.
