About Tour Guide Grant A.
Hello! My name is Grant, and I’ve spent over a decade living and exploring Japan. Originally from Omaha, Nebraska, I first came to Japan as a high school exchange student in Inuyama, a historic castle town in Aichi. My love for Japan began early—sparked by childhood games like Pokémon that were released in Japanese before English. This passion led me to pass the N2 Japanese Language Proficiency Test in 2018, study at language schools across Japan, and graduate from the Japan Visual Media Translation Academy.
I’ve traveled to every prefecture in Japan, often using unlimited rail passes to explore castles, historic sites, and regional specialties.
I hold a degree in Asian Studies from a Tokyo university, and my extensive experience living in Tokyo has made me an expert on the city’s transportation system, hidden gems, and affordable eats. With over 30 visits to Kyoto, I have deep knowledge of its historical sites and the broader cultural landscape of Japan. I studied at Japanese language school in Kyoto. I visited all the world heritage sites in Kyoto and have a lot of knowledge on the history of Japan. I can provide tours of Kyoto or places outside of Tokyo for an additional transportation fee.
Tour options:
Half-Day Tour: 20,000 yen (4 hours)
Full-Day Tour: 40,000 yen (8 hours)
Full-Day Tour Outside of Tokyo: 40,000 yen plus transportation expense
Reviews
“So glad we booked Grant”
Booking a trip to Tokyo just two days before departure felt overwhelming—I knew I wouldn’t have time to research or plan properly. That’s where Grant came in and completely saved the day. After reading countless glowing reviews, I was confident he’d be the perfect guide for us, and I couldn’t have been more right. I shared a quick list of must-visit spots based on friends’ recommendations, and Grant worked his magic to make it all happen. Even better, he got to know us and tailored the itinerary to match our style perfectly. His deep knowledge of Tokyo, combined with his flawless English, made exploring the city an absolute breeze. On our last day, when we ventured out on our own, Grant still went above and beyond by helping me with directions and recommending amazing food spots. I’m already looking forward to my next trip to Tokyo, and there’s no doubt I’ll reach out to Grant again—he’s truly the best!
“Excellent guide who is well versed about Tokyo and its history!”
We highly recommend Grant who showed our family of 5 with 3 younger children aged 11, 8 and 5 around Tokyo in January 2025. He knows the city very well and was able to provide insight about the history and its culture and customs. He was also able to adapt the day to suit the interests of our younger children. We explored the Asakusa area including the Senso-Ji Temple in the morning followed by Ueno and then headed over to Akhibara for some gaming fun in the afternoon. He was an absolute pleasure and would be a great asset for your time in Tokyo!
“Outstanding ”
Not only is Grant great guy, but he is also a living, walking encyclopedia. very impressed by his knowledge of Japan!! would recomend 1000%

Tokyo Ginza Then and Now (Izakaya hopping tour in 3 hours)
You want to experience Izakaya like locals? Are you a little reluctant to drink in Shinjuku Kabukicho or the youth town of Shibuya? If so, I recommend Ginza, Yurakucho area! The area has some different profiles. There are deep izakaya alleys underneath the JR railways that retain a postwar atmosphere and also high-end streets where the district became first westernized after the Edo period. You can enjoy 2 very different types of drinking spots while touching about the history.
