About Tour Guide Dai A.

Hi, I'm Dai, a national licensed tour guide for people from all over the world.

I’m crazy about traveling around the world.

I’ve backpacked in over 150 countries.

So I'm proud of my traveling skills, flexibility and patience that I've ever experienced through my world-traveling.

I do believe one of the most important thing for travelers is to " EXPERIENCE ", such as doing something new, extraordinary and something you've never done before.

Also, I used to work at a hostel in Asakusa, so I'm quite familiar with Asakusa area.

I'd love to help international tourists enjoy their stay in Japan.

You can arrange your own itinerary as you like.

Please feel free to contact me anytime, if you have any questions.

I'm really looking forward to seeing YOU soon. Thank YOU.

Eating, Exploring & Laughing Through Tokyo — Thanks Dai!

I had the best day exploring Tokyo with Dai! We covered so much ground, from the Outer Garden and East Garden of the Imperial Palace (no, we didn’t go inside the palace, ha), to the lively Tsukiji Outer Market where I tried all kinds of amazing food: octopus, A5 wagyu, sea urchin roe, matcha mochi, and three types of melt in your mouth tuna. We also visited Sensoji Temple and Nakamise Street in Asakusa (where I purified myself with water before going in and picked up a good health charm, plus got a *good* fortune, thank goodness!), walked through the gorgeous Senbon Torii gates at Nezu Shrine, wandered Takeshita Street, and braved the famous Shibuya Scramble. What really made the day special was Dai himself. Not only is he incredibly knowledgeable and fun to spend time with, but he paid attention to the little things. When he found out my daughter is into anime, he suggested we swing by Akihabara so I could pick up a surprise for her, totally off our original plan, and such a thoughtful touch. Plus I even got him to play some Mario Kart with me! He was also super patient when I needed to stop and cool off (Tokyo summer is no joke!), and even had a powered hand fan that pretty much saved my life. On top of it all, he taught me how to navigate the Tokyo metro like a pro, which made the rest of my trip so much easier. All in all, it was an unforgettable experience, and I can’t recommend Dai enough. If you want to see Tokyo through the eyes of someone who truly loves it (and who makes sure you love it too), book a tour with him!

Thank you so much for taking your precious time to give me such an amazing review, Christine. It was absolutely my great pleasure to show you around Tokyo. I had a super wonderful time with you. I was so happy to see that you enjoyed some of seafood, Wagyu beef and matcha mochi at Tsukiji Outer Market. And thank you for sharing your food, especially three types (fatty, medium fatty and lean) of fresh tuna sushi, and Wagyu beef. I truly enjoyed it so much. Also thank you for sharing your great adventures in Mongolia and other countries. It was super fun to talk with you during the tour. I hope you will come and visit other beautiful cities in Japan sometime soon in the future. Please take good care of yourself and keep on traveling! Thanks a million!!!

Great tour experience!

Dai was great! We appreciated him meeting us at our hotel. From there, we took a bus to the Shinjuku Station. He showed us how to pay for the fares and how to use the machines. We did 2 half day tours (4 hours each) and he took us to 3 different locations. He was very knowledgeable about the sites we visited. He was also very patient and helpful. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience, Dai! We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Tokyo!
