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. That early curiosity grew into a lifelong passion for Japanese language, culture, and history. I hold an N2 on the Japanese Language Proficiency Test, a degree in Asian Studies from a Tokyo university, and I graduated from the Japan Visual Media Translation Academy. I’ve visited all 47 prefectures and explored a wide range of historical sites, shrines, and castles throughout the country. My background in Japanese history helps me provide context that brings depth and meaning to the places we visit—whether it's understanding a centuries-old temple in Kyoto, the story behind a castle ruin, or uncovering the historical layers of a Tokyo neighborhood. If you’re planning to explore Tokyo, here are some tour options to consider: One day in Tokyo? The Ginza Line Tour offers a great introduction to the city’s highlights. Two days? Pair the East Tokyo Tour and West Tokyo Tour to get a well-rounded experience. Interested in anime? The Anime Tour is flexible and can be tailored to match your specific interests. For those looking to go beyond the city, I also offer day trips to Nikko, Kamakura, and other nearby destinations. While most guests book Tokyo-based tours, I also guide in other regions—especially Kyoto, where I’ve visited every World Heritage Site. I regularly lead tours in Osaka, Nara, Nagoya, Hikone, and other locations easily reached by rail. Multi-day and custom tours are available on request. Full-Day Tour: 40,000 yen (8 hours) Full-Day Tour Outside of Tokyo: 40,000 yen + transportation Feel free to get in touch to plan a tour that fits your interests and travel plans.

Hello! I’m Your Friendly Guide to Japan’s Kanto Region I’m based in the beautiful Tochigi Prefecture and absolutely love sharing Japan’s amazing culture, history, and hidden spots with visitors like you. Before doing tour guiding, I was a public school teacher, so I’m great at making stories come alive and helping you really connect with the places we visit. I speak Japanese at an advanced level (N2), and I’ve spent a lot of time exploring Japan—from living a year in the peaceful town of Kamishihoro in Hokkaido to wandering the bustling streets of Tokyo. This means I can give you insider tips and deep insights that go beyond the usual tourist trails. *What I Offer* I mainly guide around the Kanto area, which includes Tokyo, Yokohama, Saitama, Ibaraki, Gunma, and of course, Tochigi. Here are some of the fun tours I can take you on: - **Utsunomiya Cultural Immersion:** Spend a day discovering the unique charm and tasty eats of Utsunomiya. - **Tokyo All-in-One:** Explore both East and West Tokyo in a single day for a full city experience. - **Anime & Pop Culture Tours:** Tailor-made adventures based on your favorite shows, games, and characters. - **Kanto Day Trips:** Visit iconic spots like Nikko’s stunning temples or Kamakura’s historic sites. I also love guiding in other parts of Japan, especially Kyoto—I’ve seen every World Heritage Site there! Plus, I often run tours in Osaka, Nara, Nagoya, Hikone, and more, all easy to reach by train. *Customize Your Journey* Every tour is flexible and designed just for you. To make your trip even more memorable, I’ll create a free, beautifully crafted photo album with music from your tour—perfect for sharing or keeping as a souvenir. Ready to explore Japan in a fun, relaxed way with someone who’s passionate about showing you the real stories behind every place? Let’s chat and start planning your perfect adventure!

“Transfer from Yokohama Cruise Port to Haneda Airport.”
The driver kept us informed of his location and was right on-time. He loaded our luggage at the port and unloaded it at the airport. He dropped us off right at the airline counter and showed us where to go. The van was very clean and the driver was very courteous. This was the third transfer we used Fuji Limousine for on this trip. All were excellent. We would not hesitate to use Fuji Limousine again.
Fuji Limousine
Thank you very much for your kind review . We're delighted to hear that your experience from Yokohama Cruise Port to Haneda Airport was smooth and pleasant. We're especially honored that this was your third transfer with us on your trip. Your continued trust means a lot to us, and we look forward to welcoming you again on your next visit to Japan.

“Perfect food tour”
Keiko was an amazing guide that was very knowledgeable about traditional Japanese food. She took us all over the city and even to Yokohama for a ramen making experience that was perfect for the whole family. I highly recommend her!
Keiko O.
Alisha-san, thank you very much for your nice comments! Being a foodie myself, I love doing a tour for guests with special interest in food, so it was indeed a wonderful experience for me too. I wish you all a nice stay in Japan, with a lot more of delicious encounters!

“Best guide ever!”
Noaya san is an awesome guide. We have several tours with him. Every day he explains where we are going and plans for the day. Very organized. Speaks really good English. Has proven to be our best guide. He is very intelligent, knowledgeable and very nice. You will have a great time with him. These pictures are not necessarily about today's trip just fyi.
Naoya U.
Today we went around Yokohama. Thank you for your compliments. Yokohama was one of the first ports to open to the world when Japan began to open up at the end of the Edo period. On the other hand, the Minato Mirai area has undergone recent development and offers a modern perspective. You enjoyed the view from the Sky Cabin and shopping at the Red Brick Warehouse. In Chinatown, you visited the Guan Yu Temple and enjoyed Chinese food. We have made some good memories. And let's remember the warm words of the fortune teller at the end. Naoya
