I’m so excited to have a chance to show you around my favorite spots in Kanagawa prefecture. I was born in Kanagawa. I spent my whole school life, including university, here in Kanagawa. I worked as a high school English teacher here for 40 years. I love Kanagawa so much. We have many interesting tourist spots, like Hakone, Kamakura, Enoshima and Yokohama. I got my tour guide license in English in 2009. I am still an English teacher. To give an interesting and impressive lesson to young high school students, I’ve learnt and gathered many kinds of information. I also have a license to teach social studies, so I have a wide range of knowledge about Japanese culture and history. I’m sure to provide you an interesting tour.

I was born and grew up in Yokohama. I used to work in Tokyo for more than 20 years. I became the National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter in English in 2013. At first, I had attended a volunteer group which provided a tour of the Imperial Palace East Gardens until 2015. I guided more than fifty times in the garden as a volunteer and studied about Japanese history and culture. Based on this experience, I became a tour guide of this online site in 2015. Since then, I have guided more than 500 tours in Tokyo as well as Yokohama, Kamakura, Hakone, Kyoto, Nikko, etc., while improving my tours. My tours are very flexible and I always do my best to customize them according to the interests of my guests. I studied about the places and will provide you knowledge to appreciate them more deeply than just visiting there by yourself or a member of group tours. I like foods and I know many restaurants which provide typical Japanese lunch with reasonable price without waiting too long. Therefore, I am sure that I can provide you the best tours customized to your interests. It will be my great pleasure to help you to enjoy your stay in Japan. So please be my guest!!

Hello! I'm Leandra, and I'm stoked to be your guide as we dive into Japan. With seven years under my belt living here, I've become your trusted source for all things related to exploring this amazing country. Whether it's navigating the bustling city streets or trekking through scenic nature trails, I've got you covered. I have extensive experience guiding excursions through mountains, inner city hidden gems, underground music scenes, and scenic day trips in the vicinity of Tokyo. When I'm not guiding, you can catch me indulging in my hobbies of digging into Japanese history, hitting up local shrines, lacing up my running shoes for a jog, scouting out new restaurants, or hitting the trails for a hike. Originally from sunny SoCal, my roots stretch back to both Japanese and Mexican heritage, with a sprinkle of samurai lineage thrown in for good measure. So, if you're ready to dive into the real Japan, away from the tourist traps, join me for an adventure you won't soon forget. Let's do this!

Ken T.
Japan
Hello! My name is Ken (Kenichi), and I’m a professional tour guide with experience guiding over 1,200 foreign tourists as of September 2024. I have worked for both Japanese and international companies in Tokyo for over 30 years, giving me deep insight into the city and its unique charm. I also love traveling and have explored many famous destinations in Japan as well as in 40+ countries worldwide. I fully understand the challenges that many first-time travelers face when visiting Japan, especially in a busy city like Tokyo. My goal is to provide you with a fully customized, time-efficient tour that meets your needs and preferences. Since most travelers have limited time and want to visit as many places as possible, I carefully plan tours that highlight the best spots and the most efficient routes, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience. For added comfort and luxury, I offer the option of using a car with an experienced driver (my wife), making your tour even more convenient and stress-free. I look forward to guiding you and helping make your visit to Japan truly memorable.

I'm especially knowledgeable about the areas of Akihabara, Asakusa, Ueno, Shibuya, and Shimokitazawa, Yokohama , Kamakura, Enoshima and I love sharing my love of this city with visitors.

Spring is one of my favorite seasons in Tokyo, as it's the perfect time to go out and sample the city's delicious food and drinks. Whether you're a fan of traditional Japanese cuisine or prefer more modern fare, you'll never run out of amazing dining options in this city.

“Friendly and Prepared Guide for Garden and Airport transport ”
Toru was friendly, and wanted to ensure we reached our goals during our brief time in Tokyo. He met us at the Cruise Port, secured a Taxi for travel to our planned garden trip, and provided information to prepare us for the Park/Garden experience. Toru also secured our luggage with the Gate staff at no cost, which was quite helpful. As we traveled through the Garden, he provided greater detail for each of the areas and buildings, adding depth to our experience. Toru ensured we had access the restrooms, and used our time well. I learned much more context and cultural information due to Toru's knowledge and explanations. Our taxi was waiting for us at the end of our time in the garden, and we then traveled to Haneda Airport, and were delivered to out terminal, and accompanied to our check-in area. Toru stayed with us through our kiosk check-in and ensured we had dropped our bags and had all boarding documents before leaving us, in case language support was needed. He really made our brief interlude in Tokyo informative, restful, and stress free by planning for eventualities and transport needs and times. We were a bit early to check-in after a thoroughly enjoyable 4 hours, and ready for our long journey home. Thank you again, Toru!
Toru I.
Dear Loraine and Ken I thank you so much for your generous reviewing today. Recalling our garden tour, I mostly am impressed at your friendliness and lovely conversation between us. Please continue to keep sharing our culture, beauty and friendliness. Stay in safe, and see you in near future. Thank you again, Loraine and Ken! Toru
