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.

Reviews

True hidden gems

Tim was a great guide! He took us to several places we would have never found on our own and provided a lot of Japanese history and cultural information that we found to be fascinating.

Thanks so much, Jennifer! I’m really glad you enjoyed the hidden spots and the stories behind them. It was a pleasure exploring Tokyo with you. Please join me again next time you’re in town!

A night out with Tim

We had a great evening with Tim in Tokyo. Having lived in the city for years, Tim was super knowledgeable and very interesting. Highly recommend! We got a taste of Japanese night life! Rick and Stacry Kansas City

Thanks Rick and Stacey! Had a great time showing you around Tokyo. Hope to see you again sometime!

Unexpected experience

This night outing took us to places that we did not suspect and that we would not have visited by ourselves. Among other things, our guide was able to make us enjoy very typical mazes and bistros. The explanations provided about the life of this neighborhood in the evening allowed us to discover another Tokyo. Thank you Tim for these moments that will remain good memories

Thank you so much, Philippe! I’m really glad I could show you a different side of Tokyo at night. Exploring those hidden backstreets with you was a lot of fun. I’m happy it became a memorable part of your trip!
