My tours focus on the Tokyo subway and rail-accessible locations. I am not able to provide a driver on this site.
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. This passion led me to pass the N2 Japanese Language Proficiency Test in 2018, study at language schools across Japan, and graduate from the Japan Visual Media Translation Academy. My work in translation and interpreting brought me into contact with notable figures in Japanese media.
I’ve traveled to every prefecture in Japan, often using unlimited rail passes to explore castles, historic sites, and regional specialties. I’m particularly passionate about seafood and love traveling to places like Hokkaido and Niigata during the winter for the best crab and fatty yellowtail. I also enjoy visiting Japan's finest hot springs, especially in volcanic areas. My martial arts background includes five years of traditional Okinawan Goju-Ryu Karate, with multiple trips to the Ryukyu Islands, and experience in iaido, kyudo, and judo.
I hold a degree in Asian Studies from a Tokyo university, and my extensive experience living in Tokyo has made me an expert on the city’s transportation system, hidden gems, and affordable eats. With over 30 visits to Kyoto, I have deep knowledge of its historical sites and the broader cultural landscape of Japan.

“Informative tour”
Grant was an excellent tour guide. He knows his Japanese whiskey and where to find some rare Japan exclusive bourbons. He was able to assist us in finding all the bottles that we were searching for and recommend a few that we weren't searching for. If you are interested in Japanese whiskey, I would highly recommend this tour.
“A great way to discover different places”
Grand was great and showed some special spots of Tokyo. Loved the garden and Nakano Broadway
“Great Tour!”
We had a great tour with Grant! Extremely knowledgeable about Tokyo, history, and getting around!! We wished we had booked him a second day. Already gave his name to others looking for tours!
