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 that fit your feelings and interests.
Then, I’d like to propose.
Why don’t you start a unique and original tour, only your heart goes?
.
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 a great time you can never forget.
Thank you so much.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.
I live in SHITAMACHI, Tokyo, or an old residential town near ASAKUSA and UENO. My hobby is strolling. I walk around this area almost every day. I know even the smallest path, big and small museums, workshops of artisans, an impressive view of a 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 no one reads about in guidebooks.
So!
I hope you name me the navigator for your fantastic memory-making tour!!!!
I’m not so young, but I still love rock’n roll music. If you want to enjoy live music in Tokyo, I can also arrange the venue and occasion to suit your mood and boom.

“Very friendly, great communication and great service ”
We had a wonderful stress free time touring the Tokyo with Tak over 4 days. He created a fantastic itinerary that worked for us and our 20 year old daughter and boyfriend. He was quick to change plans as needed and always happy to answer our many questions. Would absolutely book a tour with him again.

Getting a new challenge is always appreciated for a guide like me. I search online, visit places, and imagine how I can explain things well. Through this process, I find new, wonderful places to show to future guests as well. These four days with your family gave me so many great experiences. Showing Ueno and Yanaka from a cultural lens, finding a shop for an authentic Shinobue flute, bar-hopping with small surprises, and on the last day, taking you to Nakano Broadway to fully satisfy your daughter and her boyfriend's GEEK hearts. I had some trial and error, and sometimes I was secretly sweating with nervousness! lol But in the end, seeing your happy faces made all my preparation worth it. Please visit Tokyo again, and get in touch with me. Next time, the beer is on me!

“Great tour!”
Tak took us to the KK Garden and Ueno Park. He recommended skipping Asakusa to focus on the other two as we were a little short on time. That was a good call! We had a wonderful tour with him of two beautiful locations and then he saw us all the way to our afternoon group tour to make sure we got there in time. That was, again, a good call as we likely would have gotten lost! A true professional!

Thank you for a wonderful day. Koishikawa Korakuen is famous for its beautiful garden, but its various parts reflect hundreds of years of history and culture dating back to the Edo period. Therefore, it is a place that makes it very difficult for guides. I always struggle and try many different ways to explain it, but if its charm was conveyed to you, I would be truly happy. When you both visit Japan again, please contact me. I'll treat you to a beer if you like it.

“Fun in Tokyo”
Tak is a kind man who planned an itinerary to our interests and then adjusted it to our physical needs (area 80 and 90) and whims. The result was two delightful days in Tokyo with someone who could show us temples, talk baseball and take us to the Tokyo Dome,and get us in to visit the Tokyo National Museum and let us try a wide variety of street food.

The pleasant spring sunshine made our walk so peaceful. I would be happy if you could enjoy the days in Asakusa and Ueno, the towns I love. I only wish we'd had more time at the museum. I truly hope you return to Japan and discover more cultural treasures...and food, of course. I appreciate you and Mark from the bottom of my heart. See you again someday. Thank you!

Walking Tour: Historical Structures in Ueno.
In Ueno Park, there are 5 museums and 1 concert hall. Not only exhibits of them, but also their buildings themselves are worth to see. Some of them have historical backgrounds and famous architects designed them. Others have impressive modern view as well. We'll stroll Ueno Park to see their impressive outside views and walk to Kyu-Iwasaki-Tei, historical residence of billionaire in Meiji period. You will be sure to be impressed their solemn and beautiful appearances. *In the tour, visits into those museums are not included.

Once upon a time in Asakusa: Handicraft & Samurai
The Edo period, when Tokyo became the capital, is often seen as the peak of Japanese art and culture! Temple architecture, woodworking, woodblock prints, porcelain... I will use traditional handicrafts to illustrate the history and lifestyle of the people of Tokyo. Who were the samurai? What difference with a Ninja? How were armors crafted? I am also going to teach you all you need to know about those fierce warriors in front of a large collection of authentic weapons & armors.
