About Tour Guide Ai M.
Hello! Thank you so much for your interest in having me as your tour guide.
I am a national licensed guide-interpreter based in Tokyo, with a background in art, design, and the creative industries. I have guided over 200 guests from around the world, including families, couples, and solo travelers, on both classic Tokyo highlights and more tailored cultural experiences.
Beyond the popular districts like Shinjuku, Harajuku, and Shibuya, I love introducing hidden gems—stylish cafés, vintage clothing stores, contemporary architecture, craft markets, and unique cultural spots connected to everyday life in Japan.
I also enjoy hiking, traveling to nature-rich destinations, and working with plants as part of my creative work. Because of that, I am very comfortable guiding tours that blend the city with nature, such as day trips to Hakone for onsen, art museums, scenic spots, and beautiful views of Mt. Fuji.
Whether you’re interested in fashion, architecture, seasonal flowers, or a deeper dive into Japanese lifestyle and design, I can tailor your tour to your personal interests and pace. Families with children are also very welcome, I often support family trips and know how to make the day smooth and enjoyable for everyone :)
If you are looking for a guide who combines culture, creativity, and mobility, I would be delighted to show you a side of Japan that fits your style.
Looking forward to helping you make wonderful memories in Japan!

“Awesome day out with Ai.”
We didn't quite make Hakone as planned due to my son being sick, however Ai was an absolute star. It was very late notice, but she managed to cancel all train tickets and bookings and get me refunded, then helped organise a new shorter trip the same day around Tokyo for a bit of a food tour. It was a great tour, some wonderful food and Ai the perfect guide. Very professional, friendly and knowledgeable, and of course very flexible to our needs. Had an enjoyable few hours with her and some great food, and she was very lovely and such a caring and kind person. Next time in Japan will definitely arrange for Ai to be our guide again and would happily recommend her to anyone needing an awesome guide while in Japan.

“Tokyo Part 2”
After a great first evening trip with Ai, she excelled again on Day 2 with a full day tour across some highlights of Tokyo, with the flexibility to change things at a moment’s notice. One of the best tours we’ve ever had. Thank you again. GoWithGuide = GoWithAi

“A great first day in Shinjuku. ”
As first time visitors to Japan, planning a trip can be a bit daunting. In planning the trip, I was impressed by previous reviews for Ai so asked if she was available to offer an introduction to Shinjuku on our first day; something that would suit a family of four, from 15, 19 to 50’s. Ai delivered a fantastic tour for a few hours around Shinjuku. She kept things interesting for all of us and showed us places and bars/restaurants that we’d never have found on our own. A superb start to our trip. Thank you Ai.

Thank you for your wonderful review! I'm delighted to hear that you enjoyed your first day in Shinjuku with me. It was a pleasure showing your family around and introducing you to some hidden gems. Your kind words motivate me to continue providing engaging and memorable tours. Thank you for choosing me as your guide! Warm regards, Ai

Traditional and Modern One-day Tour in Tokyo
Best recommended tour for the first-time visitor to Tokyo. Tokyo is a unique city with various traditional and contemporary attractions. Let’s create your personalized time in Tokyo by discussing the places you want to visit. You should plan a tour of different sites, such as Kamakura and Hakone, along with my other plan. I am based in Tokyo, but I would happily arrange your tour.

Asakusa, 3 hours.
Asakusa is not only a temple town but also a traditional town of common peoples's culture. In the typical Tokyo Shitamachi (old residential town), there is Japanese Broadway, interesting and unique river view and many many shops worth to visit. You can enjoy the essence of Shitamachi.

Alte Japanische Kulturgüter besuchen
Besuchen wir alte Japanische Kulturgüter, um die Geschichte und Kultur Japans zu lernen. Zu den Kulturgütern gehören Meiji-Jingu, dem Kaiser Meiji gewidmet und eines der bedeutendesten Pilgerziele Japans, Kaiserpalast umgeben von Wassergraben sowie Asakusa, eine Kernziele der Eddoko, der alteingessenen Bewohner der Stadt und wegen der von Andenkenläden gesäumten Straße bekannt. Das heißt, SIe können die alte Kultur Japans gut lernen.

Temple or Shrine, Let's distinguish together!!
You may visit to the historical places when you come over to Japan. If you visit to Kyoto or other historical places, I highly recommend you to know the difference between the shrine and temple based on your knowledge. Tokyo has been the center of Japan not economical but cultural and historical places. I will take you to the place you can feel the time passed over 150 years with the urban style of Tokyo.
