HI. I am Keiko. I'm a National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter - Your local tour guide.I was born in Tokyo and studied Japanese history in the University. I used to work as a junior high school English teacher for over 30 years . So I know about Tokyo a lot. One of my hobbies is Japanese history and finding similarities with world history is very interesting and so much fun for me.
Tokyo is an attractive city where you can both experience the marriage of both traditional and modern culture. I'd be more than happy to share with you my rich knowledge and experience. I'll be grateful to arrange a tour for you according to your preferences. I'm looking forward to having a good time with you and I hope to be a part of your stay here in Japan.

“A well-organized, culturally enriching, and enjoyable experience”
The tour began on time to visit to the lively Tsukiji Fish Market, we enjoyed sampling fresh local delicacies, including seasonal fruits and sashimi. The next stop was Ueno Park, where we explored several beautiful temples and shrines while appreciating the peaceful atmosphere. For lunch, we enjoyed a traditional Japanese meal, offering them an authentic culinary experience. In the afternoon, the tour continued to Asakusa, where we delighted in the traditional ambiance, tasted Japanese sweets, and did some local shopping. We sincerely thank Keiko for her excellent coordination and warm hospitality.

Thank you very much for your kind review of our 6-hour tour. I was truly happy to share authentic Japanese food, customs, and local goods with you. At Tsukiji Fish Market, I remember that 'wasabi' was your favorite flavor—you even tried several dishes featuring it! In Ueno, you experienced the peaceful atmosphere of traditional shrines and temples. For lunch, you tasted tonkatsu and tempura served in a set meal style, with small plates seasoned in the comforting flavors of home-style cooking. At Asakusa, you purchased special Japanese fans from a renowned shop favored by kabuki actors. You also enjoyed traditional sweets at a historic confectionery with over 170 years of history. I believe the spirits depicted on your fans—the Wind God and Thunder God—will continue to support and protect you. It was a pleasure to guide you.

“We enjoyed a private guided tour in Tokyo with Ms. Keiko”
It was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Our day began with a prompt meeting at our hotel at 9:00 AM. From there, we explored some of Tokyo’s most iconic neighborhoods and landmarks, including Asakusa, the lively Tsukiji Fish Market, the bustling electronics hub of Akihabara, and the serene Hamarikyu Garden. We also had time to enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of Shibuya and Harajuku, admire the peaceful Meiji Shinto Shrine, and take in the modern sights of Odaiba and Ginza. Ms. Keiko’s knowledge of Tokyo, combined with her warm and professional approach, made this a highlight of our trip We would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a comprehensive and enjoyable introduction to Tokyo.

Thank you very much for your kind words about the tour. I am glad to hear you enjoyed it. During the tour, you experienced both traditional and modern aspects of Japanese culture. For example, you enjoyed Japanese cuisine at Tsukiji Fish Market. You also explored trendy pop culture including anime and KAWAII at Akihabara and soaked in the traditional culture at Asakusa. I hope you will enjoy the rest of Japan as much as possible. Arigato!!
