Hi it’s Tak (just like “Tak talks”), and I’m a Tokyo city guide as well as a nature guide in Hinohara village aka Hinohara-mura in Tokyo
I lived in the U.S. for 10 years and graduated from University of Oregon. Taking people from different backgrounds around the metropolitan area and national park in Tokyo are some of the most fun things in my life, and yes Hinohara village is a part of the national park in Tokyo, an hour and a half from the central city of Tokyo!
I sometimes take my customers to places that are outside Tokyo, such as Nikko-Toshogu, Odawara, Atami, Hakone, etc.
I would love to share the historical context and how it related to the culture and our current lives with you all :)
Come to have a blast time with me by feeling seasonal peaks of Tokyo, culture, and warm hearted people in Japan!!!
