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… but not the one you think you know.”

Tokyo… but not the one you think you know. “Tokyo Unmasked” was exactly that subtle, layered, a little unexpected… and quietly unforgettable. Our guide, Akira, didn’t simply show us places, but gently revealed the city’s rhythm and a new way of seeing it. We also discovered how different spiritual ways of thinking can exist side by side in a natural, almost effortless harmony. Intelligent, full of empathy and just the right amount of intrigue. Thank you for letting us glimpse the city behind the surface we will be looking at Tokyo differently from now on.

Dear Kata, Thank you so much for the beautiful review. I am so happy to see that the tour was not just enjoyable and informative but also a full of discoveries and inspirational. I would like to thank you for your being respectful to my people and the cultures always, and thank you so much for seeing my loving city beyond its surface, much deeper levels. It was a such a wonderful day spending time with wonderful people with good heart like you and JJ. Thank you so much for giving me another moment that make me feel that I love this job. See you next time! Akira

“Great walk in lesser-known neighborhoods”

At the peak of Sakura season, Akira found less-traveled places that were beautiful and interesting. The leisurely walk along the river and the tucked-away garden were highlights for us, as was a diner-style lunch that we all enjoyed and after-lunch Japanese sweets that were unfamiliar to us and very delicious. Akira is a fascinating man who made everyone feel at home. Would happily book again.

Dear Eric, Thank you so much for the great review. I am so glad you enjoyed the tour. I enjoyed guiding, chatting, listening to past experience you and Marika had, and being witness of your first experience of this and that. I hope this Japan trip will be enjoyable and memorable one for you and your wonderful family. See you next time! P.S. Tell Eliot to check Kazumi Watanabe for his awesome guitar playing on Yellow Magic Orchestra's live in Greek Theater. Also Takanaka Masayoshi's amazing play on Sadistic Mika Band's appearance on English TV show Old Grey Whistle Test (both available in Youtube)!!

“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

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
