About Tour Guide Shin N.

Welcome to Japan! I'm Shin. I have been an English Guide in Japan more than10 years.

I can guide Tokyo, Kanagawa and almost all metropolitan sightseeing and walking spots.

I was born in Kobe, grown up in Osaka, and studied in Kyoto,

so not only Tokyo but I also have a good knowledge of Japanese historical cities.

I love talking about Japanese food & culture, walking quiet narrow streets, drinking tasty Japanese whisky, Sumo, Rugby & Sports, and Japanese mountains.

I climbed Mt. Fuji 18 times with foreign guests. We enjoyed the auspicious moments of sunrising from the summit.


I would like to support you to make your stay in Japan memorable and precious one.

It is grateful if you refer to my proposed tour schedule,

in the case you have your own interests, I am happy to tailor the tour schedule responding your requests.


Please feel free to contact me.

I look forward to sharing wonderful time in Japan with you. Be my guest!

“Yokohama City Highlights”

Once again Shin hit it out of the park! Started our morning with a short walking tour around Yokohama Port Bay with a stop at the observatory. Then off to the British Consulate Museum and Gardens! Both were Awesome! Then it was off to the Sankeien Japanese Gardens! Spectacular! You would never know you're right in the middle of a busy city! Next came a short walk in Yokohama's Chinatown to an awesome, authentic Chinese Restaurant! Finally it was a well calculated drive to the Haneda Airport where Shin took us to another Observatory and final chance to do a little shopping. All of the above was put together by Shin, even the hire of the Limo, the cost of which was very reasonable. Thanks kindly again Shin for guiding us around your beautiful country!

Karey san, Thank you for your kind message. Because your review is so precise, there is no room for me to add our itinerary on the day! Your booking of a limousine for one day from Yokohama Osanbashi ferry terminal to Haneda allows us to enjoy Yokohama flexibly. I will remember our three days in Tokyo & Yokohama for long time as one of my unforgettable days in my guiding career. Arigatou, Shin

“My daughter was right.”

During a long layover in Tokyo ten years ago Shin escorted newlyweds for a day. That was so memorable that she was able to remember and recommend Shin for us, 14 and 17 y/o boys, mother and 80 y/o grandfather. She wasn't wrong. Delightful day. He taught us the ropes of the transportation system. We saw a number of areas from quiet religious sites to bustling shopping thoroughfares. Perhaps most impressively was Shin's ability to respond to an "out of the blue" request to visit an unplanned destination. He adjusted the tour by getting us to that spot and another nearby area without any qualm whatsoever. Highly recommend.

George san, Thank you for your kind review. It is so good to hear from you that your family enjoyed our tour day in Tokyo. It is my honor that your daughter remembered my name and recommended me as a guide for your important day in Tokyo. Nakano free market was my first visit, thank you for your good choice. Lunch at Yanaka with you was also impressive. I am very happy to meet your family member again when they have another chance to visit Tokyo. Sincerely yours, Arigatou! Shin
