My tours focus on the Tokyo subway and rail-accessible locations. I am not able to provide a driver on this site.
Hello! My name is Grant, and I’ve spent over a decade living and exploring Japan. Originally from Omaha, Nebraska, I first came to Japan as a high school exchange student in Inuyama, a historic castle town in Aichi. My love for Japan began early—sparked by childhood games like Pokémon that were released in Japanese before English. This passion led me to pass the N2 Japanese Language Proficiency Test in 2018, study at language schools across Japan, and graduate from the Japan Visual Media Translation Academy.
I’ve traveled to every prefecture in Japan, often using unlimited rail passes to explore castles, historic sites, and regional specialties.
I hold a degree in Asian Studies from a Tokyo university, and my extensive experience living in Tokyo has made me an expert on the city’s transportation system, hidden gems, and affordable eats. With over 30 visits to Kyoto, I have deep knowledge of its historical sites and the broader cultural landscape of Japan. I studied at Japanese language school in Kyoto. I visited all the world heritage sites in Kyoto and have a lot of knowledge on the history of Japan. I can provide tours of Kyoto or places outside of Tokyo for an additional transportation fee.
Tour options:
Half-Day Tour: 20,000 yen (4 hours)
Full-Day Tour: 40,000 yen (8 hours)
Full-Day Tour Outside of Tokyo: 40,000 yen plus transportation expense
“Shibuyah Anime tour”
Grant was an amazing guide! He listened to all out questions! Very nice guy very laid back and polite and kind. Thought us about the trains and history of Japan and was able to provide us with awesome spots to shop and eat! We had a blast!!! Thank you Grant and definitely definitely Recommend!!!!!!!
“8 hours in Tokyo to see the highlights”
I had a great day with Grant! He was prompt and in constant communication with me. We were able to modify the tour on the fly. There were some areas where we spent a bit more time, and an area that we decided to skip. The full day tour was the perfect intro to Tokyo and Grant was able to help with the next days plans by informing me how to get to my location. Thanks for the company and all of the insights Grant!
“GRANT SAVED OUR TRIP!”
I wish we could give Grant 1000 stars! Grant literally saved our trip. My husband and I arrived in Tokyo and we thought we would be able to navigate the city, we travel a decent amount and never have any issues figuring things out. We got there and we had absolutely no idea how to navigate the train system. We felt so lost and When we woke up in the morning, we were desperate for help. I messaged a few people, including Grant, online and Grant responded quickly and actually came to our hotel within an hour after messaging him to help us. Not only did he help us understand the train system and figure things out, but he also gave us a half-day tour. He was so incredibly informative and knowledgeable and a great person to hang out with and see the city. I cannot recommend Grant enough. He really truly saved us and we are forever grateful!!!! After our time with him, we felt so much more comfortable about navigating the trains! Thank you so much for dropping what you were doing and coming to our rescue! We cannot thank you enough!!!!!!!
