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.




Reviews

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!!

Grateful for Keiko

Keiko is attentive, kind, caring and so wonderful! She ensured we went at a pace that worked for my elderly mother. She was informative and friendly and clearly listened to our requests. Highly recommended!!!
