About Tour Guide Takuma A.
Hi it’s Tak (just like “Tak talks”), and I’m a Tokyo city guide as well as a nature guide in Hinohara village aka Hinohara-mura in Tokyo
I lived in the U.S. for 10 years and graduated from University of Oregon. Taking people from different backgrounds around the metropolitan area and national park in Tokyo are some of the most fun things in my life, and yes Hinohara village is a part of the national park in Tokyo, an hour and a half from the central city of Tokyo!
I sometimes take my customers to places that are outside Tokyo, such as Nikko-Toshogu, Odawara, Atami, Hakone, etc.
I would love to share the historical context and how it related to the culture and our current lives with you all :)
Come to have a blast time with me by feeling seasonal peaks of Tokyo, culture, and warm hearted people in Japan!!!

“Family trip to the fish market ”
We had such a wonderful experience with Takuma as our tour guide in Tokyo! He took us through the fish market and introduced us to foods we never would have picked out on our own. We were traveling with a 1½-year-old, and Takuma was incredibly patient and accommodating the entire time. It was a very cold day and when we needed to cut the tour short to shop for a few baby essentials, he completely understood and even helped us. We truly appreciated his flexibility, kindness, and knowledge. Highly recommend booking a tour with Takuma if you’re visiting Tokyo!

“Full Day Tour in Tokyo”
Tak was a wonderful guide who showed us an incredible day in Tokyo. We began at our hotel at 7AM, and were able to hit all of the stops on our itinerary for that day. We covered a lot of ground, and Tak's knowledge and insights of all the different sites and locations made it a very memorable day. He was an absolute joy to spend the day with, and I would highly recommend Tak as a tour guide. 10/10 experience!

Tokyo,Now &Then
Tokyo is a modern metropolitan city built on an ancient Edo, where Tokugawa samurai government was settled. Even now we can find old relics of ancient Edo among truly modern Tokyo streets. Asakusa, Ueno and the Imperial Palace itself are some of the examples. Let’s explore Tokyo with me and find the soul of Japan.
