About Tour Guide Keiko T.
Hello. I am Keiko, a nationally licensed tour guide for English-speaking tourists. I love traveling to new places, experiencing different cultures, and meeting new people. When I was young, I embarked on a long journey to explore more about my life. I settled in a small town in Illinois, USA, enjoying a new life while studying at the state university, and then moved to Florida to work for a while.
After coming back to Japan, I have been working in downtown Tokyo since 2008, mainly as a translator and sometimes as an interpreter in various fields, including central government offices, TV stations, and a university. Seeing the increased opportunities around the Tokyo Olympics 2020, I transitioned into the tourism industry and am currently working as a tour guide, basically giving day tours of downtown Tokyo, Fuji & Hakone, Kamakura and Nikko.
I love meeting people from different backgrounds, talking with them, and learning new things. That's why I enjoy hosting guests from abroad who want to explore Japan. Many local people helped me during my journey, and now it's time for me to give back. Come and meet me here; I will show you around amazing places in Japan.

“Best Guide ever!”
I can not express how thankful I am to have found Keiko! She was one of our best parts of our trip! She took such great care of us from helping us get our luggage stored at the airport to seeing us off at security in the airport. She took us to all of the places we wanted to see in the short time we had in Tokyo. She was patient, kind and so knowledgeable. Her English is excellent! We felt like we were touring with a dear friend or family member. I highly recommend her! Thank you Keiko!!!
