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.

Excellent Guide

Keiko was on time to our tour, which is something I value greatly. She detailed the history on exhibits we passed by as well as relevant things we visited during the tour. Would book again.

Brendon S.

Thank you very much for your wonderful review of my tour. We experienced both modern and traditional Japanese culture today such as anime and KAWAII maids at Akiba, swords and sumo at Ryogoku and a temple and Tokyo Sky Tree at Asakusa. The Illuminated tower looked like a jewelry in the sky. I hope your great autumn days in Japan.

A Most Enjoyable Guide and Tour

Highly recommend Keiko’s tour of Ueno Park and Yanaka. It was the perfect blend of history, the serenity of the shrines and temples, art, and food. Keiko was very responsive, flexible, and informative. We really enjoyed spending time with her.

Robin L.

Thank you very much for your wonderful review of my tour. Fortunately, it was a fine weather and a perfect day for walking around Ueno Park and Yanaka area. There, we could experience the traditional atmosphere of Japan such as Toshogu-shrine with old stone lanterns, Hanazono Inari shrine with many red-tori-gates and OISHII typical Japanese style lunch in an old town house...etc. I hope you will enjoy Japan as much as possible. ARIGATO!!

Keiko is a great Guide

Keiko is a very sweet and knowledgeable Guide! She gave us a lot of information about Tokyo’s history. She kept us informed about the present and the past as drive along Tokyo. She took us to the best attractions in Houston. I highly recommend Keiko.

Marie B.

Thank you very much for your warm review of my tour. It was fun and comfortable riding around Tokyo in a van. We visited both traditional and modern part of Tokyo. At Asakusa, you tasted Ningyo-yaki and prayed your wishes. At Shibuya, you experienced crossing and saw a lot of KAWAII girls. You tasted authentic Japanese style lunch such as YUBA, TEMPULA, TOFU... etc. You learned a new useful word, SUMIMASEN. I hope your days in Japan will be great. Arigato-gozaimashita!!

Tokyo
8 hours

We will explore the western suburbs of Tokyo in this tour. If you are looking for something different from the crowded tourist attractions in the central part of Tokyo, you will enjoy exploring the western suburbs of Tokyo. I recommend this tour not to first timers but to repeaters who have been to famous places in Tokyo. You will discover traditional spots in the beautiful environment of the suburbs. Weather permitting, lunch in a local restaurant can be replaced by a picnic lunch in a park.
