About Tour Guide Taka M.
Would you like to have a private guide when you are traveling to Tokyo?
I adjust the experience based upon your needs and desires, so I will ensure that your goals are met.
Hello, I'm Taka.
Tokyo is my hometown all through my life, and I know many interesting places and things to do, which are not yet introduced in the travel books. It will be a real pleasure sharing my knowledge with you.
Tokyo is a truly exciting and multi-dimensional city. I can offer you unique and memorable experiences here in Tokyo. How about walking along some back streets and taste some local delicacies? Or try Sake and Japanese wine?
I have been in broadcasting business for over 30 years, and as a TV director I have made a countless coverage trips all around the globe.
Also I am a professional winemaker in the Unites States, and stay in California during the harvest time every year, from September to November.
With my unique business back ground, I have decided to start my new business as a professional tour guide specializing in the Tokyo area.
Let’s enjoy the cutting-edge Tokyo with a former TV director and a winemaker!

“Excellent day in Tokyo with Taka”
Prior to our visit we were advised that Tokyo can feel very overwhelming so we decided to book a private guide for the day. This was the best decision we could have made as our guide Taka was so helpful, removing all of the stress of travelling around such a busy city and seeing many of the sites that we would never have found on our own. Taka was so helpful and obliging, he asked us what we woud like to see and taylored our day to fit everything in. We even managed some relaxation in the park enjoying the cherry blossom My husband and I had a fabulous day with Taka, he gave us confidence & advise on where we should visit on our final day of our time in Tokyo. We high;y recommend booking Taka as your private guide whilst visiting Tokyo and if we return would definitaley book another tour with him. Thankyou for leaving us with great memories of Tokyo.

“Taka is Wonderful! ”
This was our first trip to Japan and even though we had Taka at the end of our trip, he was one of our highlights! He made a custom itinerary and absolutely nailed it. Taka is very patient and easy going. Also, he genuinely enjoyed seeing our smiling faces as he revealed hidden gems which is great to see instead of a business first mentality. Greatly appreciated, he met us at our Hotel and even took us "home" so we wouldn't have to worry about traveling. I would absolutely recommend Taka. Thank you for such a wonderful experience and your time. Hope you have a great year!

“Excellent Guide”
Flexible. Tailored experience to accommodate my preferences. Also, helped get apps I would need while in Japan and showed me how to get and use PASMO card which will help me as I travel to different places in Japan. He also made certain that lunch was a great cultural experience. All this resulted in a completely wonderful day in Tokyo.

Taka's Tokyo Hipster Winery Tour
You might think, “Winery in Tokyo?” But the history of winemaking in Japan started in the 19th century. High-quality wines are produced in Japan and some labels have won the gold medal at an international wine competition in France. Let me introduce you a wine tour in Tokyo. The wineries are small. There are no vineyards. But it can be enjoyed as a half day fun trip inside Tokyo.
Other Popular Day Trip Tours in Tokyo

The Ueno area of Tokyo has many sightseeing spots, including the zoo, museums, and Ameyoko Shopping Street.

We can recommend several potential sites, but let us know your preferences, and we will coordinate.
True Hakone Private Tour enjoying 3 popular spots
Hakone is an attractive destination for one-day tour because of its easy access from Tokyo, many hot-spring resorts, and abundant natural beauty including a view of Mt. Fuji and Lake Ashi. And it's also been a sacred religious site of mountain worship since ancient time. In this tour, we’ll visit three must-see spots in Hakone: Lake Ashi, Owakudani Valley, and Hakone Open-Air Museum. They will be a wonderful memory for you in Japan.
One day tour to Mt Fuji and Lake Kawaguchi
This is a trip to see the highest and most beautiful mountain in Japan, Mount Fuji and one of five lakes surrounding Mount Fuji, Lake Kawaguchi. Mount Fuji is an active stratovolcano that last erupted from 1707 to 1708. At 3776m meters, Mount Fuji is the highest mountain in Japan and its top and gentle slopes are surrounded by rich and unspoiled nature. The mountain attracts many climbers during summer, while in winter its snow-covered top and slope gleam pure white in the sun.
