About Tour Guide Tak Y.
Hi, my name is Tak.
I have seen travelers.
And, I found they got tired of typical sightseeing spots, like crowded temples and shrines.
There must be spots fit to your feeling and interests, more in Japan.
Then, I’d like to propose.
Why don’t you start unique and original tour, only your hearts bring to yourselves?
.
I had guided
Pokemon tour
Ghost story tour
Inari Shrines tour
Live house tour
Bento (lunchbox) tour
Textile tour
Papermaking tour
I’ll search the site you want to see and create your unique itinerary.
First, could you give your message about things you want to do and see in Japan?
Let’s make great time you can’t never forget.
Thank you so much.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.
I live in SHITAMACHI, Tokyo, or old residential town near ASAKUSA and UENO. My hobby is strolling and I walk about this area almost every day. I know even the smallest path, big and small museums, workshops of artisans, an impressive view of gigantic tree, a beer bar in an impressive old house, unique souvenir shops, cats living in Yanaka and many, many other attractive spots in this area.
You can expect a day that nobody read in guide books.
So!
I hope you name me as the navigator of your fantastic memory-making-tour!!!!
I’m 61-year-old and I still love rock’n roll music. If you want to enjoy live music in Tokyo, I can also arrange the location and occasion according to your mood and boom.

“Customised tour with Tak”
Tak was super professional, organised and met us at our hotel as planned. His communication with me beforehand was excellent and comprehensive. It's always a bit daunting spending 6 hours with a complete stranger but Tak was such easy and relaxing company. He was informative and helpful, showing us some interesting places we most likely would not have looked at ourselves. We appreciated his time and patience. Thank you thank you Tak.

Aha! This is the first time to be called SUPER PROFESSIONAL in my life. It's not just my achievement. I believe Ueno and Yanaka's rich history and serene surroundings contributed to creating a comfortable environment for you. I'm delighted to hear that you enjoyed the day. I hope you had great memories in Japan. Thank you so much, Lisa and Andy. See you someday again in Tokyo, or perhaps back in your homeland. Tak

“Very accommodating guide”
Tak was very accommodating. First, we had trouble connecting but he stayed in great communication through the Go With Guide message system. He was attentive and helpful. He created an itinerary which was very interesting. When our day for the tour arrived, we had rain. Tak was flexible, and we adjusted our plan. When the weather cleared up, we went right back to schedule. He introduced us to affordable restaurants that served tasty food. We traveled with 3 teenagers who truly enjoyed asking Tak many questions about life in Japan. Tak was happy to answer all of their questions. We all had a wonderful morning with Tak in fabulous and charming Asakusa.

It was a trully roller coaster day. The forecast for wild weather and rain dramatically altered your plans. But honestly, it was fun for me to come up with Plan B, Plan C, and Plan D. I believe unexpected events are the spice of a tour and enhance the memories. The weather actually turned out better than predicted! You are such a splendid family, and you all really know how to enjoy every moment. Watching your smiles and cheers made me so happy. Thank you all once again, and I hope the rest of your tour is brilliant with no more rain! lol

“Overview of Asakusa highlights ”
Our group of 4 was guided by Tak, who gave us great insight to all that Asakusa has to offer. Tak explained well all the history and highlights as we walked around. Good walking pace as he understood it was our first day in Tokyo. Tak also booked us in for dinner at a restaurant and guided us there before finishing up. We had a wonderful time! Thanks Tak
Tak Y.
Hi, Wendy. Thank you for the superb moments. The memory of your smiling faces comes back to me. Asakusa is a town not only historical but also full of entertainment and surprises, like a toy box. I'm happy if you found the funky, odd, tricky, and somehow humanistic features of the town. I say thank you again. I wish you could see beautiful cherry blossoms before you leave Japan, and someday I could see you again. Tak
