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.

“Great evening exploring the wonders of Shinjuku”
As a solo traveller, taking guided tours one-on-one is not something I usually do, but I am sure glad I booked a Shinjuku evening with Tim. Not only did he take me to some great Izakayas and bars, but also explained everything along the way and helped me understand the local culture even better. On top of that, we had some great chill conversations. Fun, interesting, laid back - the tour and evening were just what I was looking for! Thanks Tim!
