Shibamata Good old Tokyo
Joined 2022
Shibamata is located at east end of Tokyo wards, and at there you can feel the daily life of good old Tokyo. There is a famous Taisyakuten temple and known as a home town of "Tora-san" who is one of a most famous movie character among Japanese. You can also try riding Yagirino-Watashi, man power ferry between chiba and Tokyo.
I hope this tour will give you a new point of view to Japan and Japanese with compact schedule.

“Book Mutoh for an incredible experience!”
Mutoh was an amazing guide and I couldn't recommend him more! We had the best (half) day with him and his tour was one of the highlights of our trip. He really goes above and beyond. It was a fun, informative day. Thank you, Mutoh!

“Fun day with Mutoh ”
Mutoh was a great tour guide. We planned this on our first day. It was nice to have a local show you around and help you get comfortable being in Japan. He met us early at our hotel and we toured around the fish market, Meiji shrine and then left off at Harajuku. Mutoh was very kind and knowledgeable. He also captured a bunch of photos and videos to share with us!

Alison san, Thank you so much for your warm and lovely comment! Did you find something interesting in your following tour to Shimokitazawa & Gotokuji? I'm glad to hear you've enjoyed my tour and actually I enjoyed as well to guide your lovely family. Please come Japan again and let me guide you again!

“Knew the city well....great local insight...good English skills”
Mutoh was consistent and reliable on our pre meeting conversations. I had to change my hotel two times and he did not flinch. He made great choices on maximizing our time there and was of immense help on us understanding our next twelves days in Japan. I have been a guide for over sixteen years and it is through this lens that I highly recommend him. Should I come back for a future visit I will mostly certainly look for him to guide us.

Kevin, thank you so much for your warm comments! Actually I enjoyed guiding you myself and it’s more than happy to hear you’ve enjoyed the day! I’m on the way back from Kyoto by another tour. It’s getting cold these days in Japan and winter will come soon. Please take care your health and come Japan again!
