About Tour Guide Tim D.

I came to Japan in 1998, intending to stay a few months, but enjoying Japan, I never left. I was intrigued by the history, culture, language, and food. And the fascination and excitement of exploring and learning new things about Japan still exists with me today. The variety and choices of things to do and places to go can be overwhelming. I can offer you suggestions and a unique perspective on Japan. I can share local knowledge about things often missed. Fluent in Japanese with a master's degree in Japanese Studies and living in Japan for over 20 years, I can be your guide.

Shinjuku area evening tour

Really enjoyed our tour with Tom D We went on a Monday evening (6pm - 9pm) and the areas visited were were fair which we enjoyed Tom is very knowledgeable and friendly He took us to a couple of his favorite spots for food and later a drink that were a little off the main tourist track. If you seek more lively spots just let home know and I’m sure he can accommodate

Thank you for joining the Shinjuku evening tour! I’m glad you enjoyed the backstreets and hidden spots. Hope to show you some livelier places next time you’re in Tokyo.

Unbelievable night

Tim was amazing. He walked us through Golden Gai and introduced us to all sorts of great places. We had some of the best drinks we had in Japan and definitely had some of the best laughs. Can’t recommend this tour and Tim enough.

Thanks, Christin! I had such a fun night with you all in Golden Gai. Nights like that make guiding a blast, lots of laughs for sure. I hope to see you back in Tokyo for more great times!

Best Guide I have ever had

Absolutely one of the greatest guided experiences I have had. Tim is extremely knowledgeable, social and relatable. He was able to interact with our entire group and bring small points to life throughout the evening. We had some amazing food and drink in smaller places that we would never have found or engaged with. He was able to walk us around the neighborhoods and really explain the culture. I can’t imagine we would have ever learned the things that he shared - without having him as our guide. ** He is also an excellent Karaoke singer. ‍

Thank you so much! I had a great time too, such good energy and conversations all evening. I’m really glad you enjoyed the food, drinks, and hidden spots. And I’ll take the karaoke compliment any day! Hope to see you all back in Tokyo for more good times.
