Important Information – Please Read Before Inquiring


Inquiries should be made with the intent to book a tour.

---

1.Do not ask me about Mt. Fuji. The mountain is usually not visible, meaning you can not see it; if you don't understand what that means you need to google "Mt. Fuji visibility". You probably want to join a group bus tour which is not what I am offering.

2. Tours are rail based, full day tours are roughly 20,000 steps.

3. I do not make bookings on behalf of customers, the tours cover areas that not require advanced reservations.*

*I can take you to places you booked in advance or as a drop-off point to end as well.

4.I am no longer accommodating vegans/vegetarians for not following Japanese etiquette. When visiting a restaurant you must order 1 item per person, don't bring in your own food, non-meat options typically contain dashi (a fish based product) and substitutions are not an option.

About Tour Guide Grant A.

Hello! My name is Grant, and I’ve spent over a decade living and exploring Japan. Originally from Omaha, Nebraska, I first came to Japan as a high school exchange student in Inuyama, a historic castle town in Aichi. My love for Japan began early—sparked by childhood games like Pokémon that were released in Japanese before English. That early curiosity grew into a lifelong passion for Japanese language, culture, and history.


I hold an N2 on the Japanese Language Proficiency Test, a degree in Asian Studies from a Tokyo university, and I graduated from the Japan Visual Media Translation Academy. I’ve visited all 47 prefectures and explored a wide range of historical sites, shrines, and castles throughout the country. My background in Japanese history helps me provide context that brings depth and meaning to the places we visit—whether it's understanding a centuries-old temple in Kyoto, the story behind a castle ruin, or uncovering the historical layers of a Tokyo neighborhood.


If you’re planning to explore Tokyo, here are some tour options to consider:


One day in Tokyo? The Ginza Line Tour offers a great introduction to the city’s highlights.


Two days? Pair the East Tokyo Tour and West Tokyo Tour to get a well-rounded experience.


Interested in anime? The Anime Tour is flexible and can be tailored to match your specific interests.


For those looking to go beyond the city, I also offer day trips to Nikko, Kamakura, and other nearby destinations.


While most guests book Tokyo-based tours, I also guide in other regions—especially Kyoto, where I’ve visited every World Heritage Site. I regularly lead tours in Osaka, Nara, Nagoya, Hikone, and other locations easily reached by rail. Multi-day and custom tours are available on request.


Full-Day Tour: 40,000 yen (8 hours)

Full-Day Tour Outside of Tokyo: 40,000 yen + transportation


Feel free to get in touch to plan a tour that fits your interests and travel plans.

Reviews

Another great day trip with Grant

It was our 3rd day with Grant on this trip. We went to the seaside towns of Kamakura and Inoshima. A lot of walking and even more stairs than the previous 2 days. Nice weather allowed us to accomplish everything on the list. Again, Grant was great in guiding us around and explaining thoroughly the visited sites. We had a lot of laugh together. Hate to say goodbye because we really enjoyed the time with him.

Excellent guide. Highly recommend

We just had our 2 days with Grant during our Tokyo visit. We did Western Tokyo and Eastern Tokyo. We walked a lot at our pace and covered just enough places. Grant was very friendly and has great knowledge about Japan culture and history. He was able to answer all of our questions in regards to the visited sites, transportation, Japanese lifestyles, etc… We finished ahead of time during on both days because we were all very efficient moving along. This worked for us because we were tired by the end of the day still due to our jet lag. Grant is also fluent in English and Japanese. We will be on our 3rd day with him today. We really enjoyed the tour provided.

Very Grateful for Grant!

We booked Grant for two days on two different tours. Grant was helpful, accommodating, easy to get along with, very knowledgeable, knew all the best local places for dining and was even able to help us on our way with support to book train tickets for our onwards journey through Japan and advice for other places worth seeing on our future stops through the country. We feel really lucky to have had two of our Tokyo days with Grant, highly recommend!
