About Tour Guide Toru K.

Hello my guests, I'm Toru, a national licensed tour guide. I've been mainly guiding around Tokyo, Kamakura, Hakone, and Nikko for an individual or small group tourists . I'm living in a town near Narita International Airport.

It's often said that one of the characteristics of the Japanese culture is sticking to details and yet tries to conceal its care. It means that there are a pile of unspoken stories behind what you see in Japan. I'm always trying to be an interpreter of those stories and help you enjoy the secrets of Japanese cultures.

I'm offering four tour plans of Tokyo, Kamakura, Hakone, and Nikko. I think they are the best plans especially for the first timers to Japan because they're prepared to include all must-see spots in the area. If you are repeaters or interested in the other things or places, please don't hesitate to require what you want. Let's make the best plan for you together. I'm looking forward to seeing you in Japan.

Reviews

Great tour with Tory!

Tory was very knowledgable and patient to answer all of our questions. We had a full day tour and were able to cover all of the promised sights plus a few extra. His suggested lunch venue was a hit and he knew where to take us for the perfect views of cherry blossoms. He also taught us a few things about getting around in Tokyo on our own so we could navigate our remaining time in the city.

Thank you Carol for your kind comment and high rating of the tour. I was so happy to share a pleasant time with you. It was really great that we were blessed with good weather and were able to enjoy cherry blossom viewing on the tour, although it might have been a little too crowded for you. Japanese people are looking forward to the end of the cold winter and the arrival of spring. Please give my best wishes to Jim.

A wonderful experience

Our guide for 2 days was Toru - an informative, experienced guide and enjoyable companion. He created exactly the tours we wished for so that in the two days, we got a satisfying overview of Tokyo that included what mattered the most to us. Jim and I highly recommend Toru. Janet
