About Tour Guide Seiji O.

Hello, my name is Seiji, a licensed guide interpreter.

I am a native of Tokyo and registered guide with the “Tokyo City Guide Club”.

I love outdoor activities and I am always inspired by the nature and culture of our country.

Tokyo has been the center and the capital of Japan for more than 400 years. The city is built around the former residence of shogun, now the Imperial Palace, and has gone through damages and recoveries. It is a very modernized city and continues to add new attractions.

I would like to take you to some popular tourist attractions and show you around our cultural tradition that has been ingrained in our lifestyle.

I am looking forward in seeing you soon.
