Samurai Ninja museum recommended!

Calligraphy workshop

Tailor-made Ukiyoe workshop. Feel free to ask me!

You can bring your Ukiyoe after workshop.

Ueno Park (greenery, culture and samurai history), Yanaka local walking

Imprrial Palace ground is a former Edo Castle. East Gardens of Imperial Palace and Nijubashi Double Bridge is popular.

Ginza, famous as district with world-class bland shops, but there are more about Ginza. Let's find out.

Asakusa's Senso-ji temple is one of the top tourist spots in Tokyo. Night time walking is comfortable with less people.

Sumida boat cruise is always my favorite. From Asakusa, take a boat to Hamarikyu garden or Odaiba. Relaxing!

There are a lot of beautiful Japanese-style gardens in Tokyo. Let me pick one for you according to your plan.

Shibuya scramble Crossing is getting worldly well-known now. Hachi-ko dog statue is just nearby.

Akihabara electric town. Sub-culture (Otaku) Mecca!

Yanak is local Shitamachi (local town) area, retaining the old town atmosphere. Get lost in small narrow alleys.

About Tour Guide Kaori S.

Kon-ni-chi-wa. Hello! I'm Kaori, having lived in Tokyo for more than 20 years since I got married to a photographer who lives here. Originally from Shizuoka prefecture which has Mt.Fuji, the highest mountain in Japan. I took 2 working-holiday-visa stays in my younger days. One is in Toronto, Canada, and another is Australia touring by motorcycle. One year respectively.

I love travel both international and domestic. That's why I love helping individual travelers rather than group tours, because I myself love travel freely. Love nature, gardens, trekking, greenery, also anime. My favorite is taking you to the off-the-beaten tracks where I love.

As a national government licensed guide, I've got deep knowledge of Japanese culture and history. I really enjoy talking about the way of life with people from different cultures. We see what you like and talk what you are interested in. That's my style. If you don't know what to want, I can help you with that.

I'm happy to make tailor-made tours only for you (up to 4 people) upon your request.

・Half Day as you like (up to 4 hours) : 40,000 JPY

・Full Day as you like (up to 8 hours) : 64,000 JPY

・Extra hour over 8hours : 6,000 JPY/hour

I'm quite an outgoing person, ( but organized well! ), easy to get along with anybody, including small kids to teenagers. Can't wait to see you soon!

“My Fuji trip”

Outstanding. Kaori was an excellent guide. Friendly, knowledgeable exceptional. Had a wonderful time Highly recommend her!!!!!!

Kaori S.

Thank you so much (Arigatou gozaimasu) for giving me an excellent review just after we departed each other, Stanley-san. Though Mt.Fuji was too shy to show up, we had a wonderful day in a relaxed manner. I was so glad you mentioned us (me and my husband) as your new friends during our tour. We hope the rest of your stay is full of charming memories. Big hugs, Kaori
