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.

“Fantastic Night Tour ”
Tim was an excellent guide. We thoroughly enjoyed his walkabout. His insight into the city and culture were fantastic. He took us to small, local places that we wouldn't have found in any guidebooks or online. Great communication skills. A++ would highly recommend a tour with Tim

“Amazing Tour of Tokyo with Family!”
Tim was an incredible guide for my entire family during our stay in Tokyo. He was super helpful from the beginning as we planned a custom itinerary, had great insights and ideas. Each day, he led us through different areas of Tokyo, providing lots of great context and answering our many questions. He was amazing with the kids - even brought them some traditional Japanese toys, which they loved. Tim is a wonderful guide and a great addition to any trip to Tokyo!

Really appreciate it, Julie! I had a great time showing you and your family around Tokyo. It was fun planning the itinerary together, and I loved all the great questions along the way. Your kids were fantastic, and I’m glad they enjoyed the little surprises. Hope to see you all again on your next trip to Japan!

“Things I would never have known on my own”
Tim D. is a fantastic guide. My friend and I walked around Shinjuku before meeting Tim. We saw and enjoyed the people, the buildings, the many tiny restaurants. BUT WITH TIM - we understood the history, understood more about the culture, ordered more interesting dishes in the restaurants, and generally had a great time. He knows what the guide books leave out. Terrific tour!
Tim D.
Thank you, Kristine! I’m glad I could add some extra context and help bring Shinjuku to life for you both. It was a lot of fun exploring together and sharing stories and spots you won’t find in the guidebooks. Hope to see you back in Tokyo someday!
