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.

“Trip to hakone”
We enjoyed meeting Toru; a lovely, knowledgeable, organized man. He met us at the hotel on time and navigated thru the many transportation systems needed to get to Hakone area. He was very interesting telling us about the volcanoes area, Lake District and hot springs etc. We recommend his services to anyone.

(26 reviews)Thank you very much for your warm comments. I'm delighted that you chose the Hakone tour to conclude your stay in Japan. I suppose Mt. Fuji also knew that it was your last day in Japan and it showed up in its whole figure. I look forward to seeing all four of you together next time in Japan.

“Fantastic Time Despite the Weather ”
We booked Toru for a full day tour of Hakone and I am so glad we did. With his military and logistics background he will get you to the destination efficiently and on time. With his guidance we are positive we saved hours of time, which led to us having a more enjoyable trip. Toru is full of wonderful historical facts and interesting pieces of information. He is a true professional who gets our highest recommendation.

(26 reviews)Hi Layla, thank you very much for your warm comments about the tour. I was so happy to share a pleasant time with both of you in Hakone. We were able to finish the tour smoothly thanks to you. Unfortunately, we couldn't see the shy Mt. Fuji this time, but let's hope for next time! Enjoy your trip in the Kansai region for the remaining days in Japan.
