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.

“Amazing Tokyo Tour with an Amazing Guide!”
Dai is an engaging, friendly and knowledgeable guide. Our itinerary was perfect - Not too crammed where we were rushing to get to where we were going but thorough enough to hit all the places that we wanted to visit. Through it all, Dai helped navigate us through the amazing, yet complex city. We enjoyed our time with Dai and highly recommend him as a Tokyo city guide.

“Excellent Guide”
Dai A. did a great job showing me around. Unfortunately, I hurt my leg while trying to get in shape for my trip but Dai knew the best ways to get around town avoiding too many stairs, and he very patient when I needed to rest. Saw a few good places that I wouldn't have seen otherwise. He helped me with my Japanese learning as well. I will book again next time I come to Japan, and I will recommend to others. Thanks again Dai.

“If you only have one day ”
If you’re planning a one day, see the most you can trip to Tokyo, Dai is your man. He had a great plan for having to see all the important sites in one day. Very friendly, speaks great English and is super efficient. He’s well traveled with over 150 countries under his backpack. This is a walking tour combined with Metro use. I think we marked 8 miles in total. He was great with using elevators and escalators without having to do much stair work. If he’s available book him without question.

Tokyo,Now &Then
Tokyo is a modern metropolitan city built on an ancient Edo, where Tokugawa samurai government was settled. Even now we can find old relics of ancient Edo among truly modern Tokyo streets. Asakusa, Ueno and the Imperial Palace itself are some of the examples. Let’s explore Tokyo with me and find the soul of Japan.
