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!!!

“Fun Tour With Tak ”
Takuma (Tak) was a lovely, funny, attentive tour guide…and he’s absolutely fluent in English which was important to us. His pre-trip communication was prompt and clear. We exchanged quite a few messages as we wanted to customize the tour - he was flexible and advised us as to what was feasible, given our time constraints. And he was able to pivot quite well when we ended up spending too much time shopping (our fault).

“The best tour ever”
Takuma was amazing. He was attentive to what we were looking for and actively helped us find exactly what we described. He was kind, warm-hearted and went above and beyond to assist us, making this a magical time long to be remembered. We hope to connect with him again in the future.

“A mother with her 2 young kids ”
I am expressing sincere gratitude for Takuma, a tour guide in Tokyo, who made my trip with my two young children easy and pleasant. Takuma helped us navigate the Shinkansen (bullet train) and visit Mount Fuji, addressing my concerns about language barriers and providing a well-organized half-day trip. I appreciate the value of Takuma's professional guidance, knowledge, and his ability to connect with my children. I was impressed by how easily my children connected with Takuma, creating a memorable and positive experience for the entire family. We can’t wait to visit Japan soon again.

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.
