¡Hola! Mi nombre es Yayoi. Nací y me crié en Tokio, y tras vivir y trabajar más de 15 años en distintos paises hispanohablantes (Argentina, México, España y otros...), me he establecido en Kamakura. Soy una amante de la naturaleza y en mis ratos libres me dedico a la jardinería, cultivo bonsai y practico “zazen” (meditación zen). Y desde ya que me gusta viajar! Asi conocí distintas culturas y aprendí a valorar la compañia de la gente local. La suma de estas experiencias me ha llevado naturalmente a trabajar como guía de turismo. Japón debe parecer un país muy exótico, por su idioma, escritura y costumbres tan especiales. Me será un gran placer ayudarte a conocer lo mejor de mi país. Además de Tokio, en sus cercanias hay mucho para ver y hacer: Los templos de Kamakura con sus historias de samurais, la isla de Enoshima y su diosa del amor, Odawara y su castillo, el paisaje volcánico y las aguas termales de Hakone, y las mejores vistas del Monte Fuji. Podemos visitar los más hermosos y curiosos lugares, explorar las callejueras, comer y beber algo (a)típico... ¿y por que no ir de compras en algun mercado? No dudes en escribirme. Juntos armaremos un programa a tu medida. ¡Espero tu mensaje!

"If my tour is not available on your preferred date, no worries! Just send me a message and I might be able to open up a slot for you." Hi, I am Toshi. I love traveling! It gives me a chance to get to know how other people live, their culture, and discovering new places (usually off the beaten track). This is why as a guide, my goal is to give guests a real "local experience"--the kind that I like when I travel. I've been a licensed tour guide since 2008. I've conducted tours for international guests from the USA, the UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Spain, France, Germany, Poland, Kuwait, Mexico, Singapore, the Philippines, Italia and so on. In fact, I conducted 120 tours (one day tours and a-week long tours) in 2023. I also speak a little Spanish (un poquito). In my spare time, I give back to the community as a volunteer: tsunami clean-up activities, entertainment at evacuation camps, guide for foreign visitors in affected areas, and at various cultural events. Let me show you "My Tokyo"! Enjoy the city like a local and maximize your time in Tokyo! See you soon!

Hi! I’m Yoshi. I’m a pure, but a little bit an international, Japanese, living in Yokohama for about half a century. In addition, I used to live in Malaysia for 2 years, U.S.A. for 8 years and Canada for 3 years. I had long been involved in the international trade of U.S., Canadian, Australian and European grains for 40 years, during which I visited more than 40 countries including most of East Asian and South East Asian countries and most of Western European countries. Now I’m a national certified guide-interpreter, working here for the past couple of years. Believe! There is much more vast range of tourist spots and attractions throughout the year in Japan, even in Tokyo and its neighboring area, than “Green Michelin” and “Lonely Planet” offer to the world. Oops! You will surely encounter a new electricity here and there, day and night! It’s really great to be welcoming here those who; - Like to visit famous historic and cultural sites, shrines and temples in Tokyo, Kamakura, Nikko and other local areas, - Love to bask in the natural beauty of Hakone, Mount Fuji and their vicinity, - Have a keen interest in time-honored, culture-rich local cities like Kanazawa, Takayama, Matsumoto, Nagano and unique rural areas like Shirakawa-go and so many others, - Are fascinated in Japanese art and paintings, both traditional and contemporary, including “Ukiyo-e”, wood block printings, - Are aggressive enough to stroll in the sky by a gondola over an active volcano and sulfurous gush! Oh dear! - Are passionate enough to directly touch the atmosphere of live, sometimes violent, “Matsuri”, traditional festivals in downtown, - Wish to experience Japanese traditional, elaborate craftwork, handed down for centuries, - Are enthusiastic about Japanese various pop culture and unique attractions, - Like, or need, to escape from your everyday stress or boredom anyway! Seeing is believing. Sightseeing is feeling through your own five senses! See Naples and Come on in Japan any time! I’m ready here whenever you are.

Greeting from Izu ,shizuoka prefecture, a city just 1.5 hours from Tokyo. I am Hiroko Inamura, a national licensed tour guide. I was born in Numazu and live in Nirayama, located at north part of Izu Peninsula, surrounded by beautiful seas and mountains, and at the top of it all, Mt.Fuji: a truly lovely and amazing Mountain. I am lucky to see Mt.Fuji from my room everyday ! Since I studied and lived in Perth, Australia and Barcelona, Spain, and traveled over 35 countries, I am fluent in English and do speak Spanish that is very useful fie me to communicate with guests from abroad. I love travelling and look for something different and special to introduce for my guests that they haven't experienced before. Izu is the place if you want something more! And yet we Japanese seem to have kept it to ourselves: you see only few foreign visitors here! Visiting the top and center of Izu areas, you constantly meet Japanese traditional and rural world , visit to a wasabi water-field, it's great fun!- and you can experience "wasabi picking " or "wasabi pickle making " during the season, you can do "Japanese tea picking" , ,wearing the special traditional tea picking Kimono! There are many more attractive sits such as Banjo Fall, Joren fall in Amagi and lots more to make your day memorable. This area is great during the seasons of autumn leaves and cherry blossom. And what you can't miss our on is a visit to the oldest hot-springs resort in Izu: the really beautiful Shuzenji. Walking around the town , , ,exploring historical and traditional sits and the grate Bamboo Grove Path remind you of "the good old days". This is the town described as "the little Kyoto "and designated as one of the best visiting place in Japan by the Michelin guide book. I have just mentioned a few of many other attractive places in this area . I am very happy to introduce you what you can see,do and eat here in Izu and its surrounding areas and I promise you to have wonderful memories !

Hello, My name is Katsunori, a national licensed guide in English. Just call me “Fuji-san”, the same as Mt. Fuji-san. I worked and lived abroad more than 15 years mainly in the United States, Australia, Abu Dhabi, China and Malaysia. During those days, I communicated many local peoples and felt a lot of different cultures and thinking ways. I was interested in this multi culture circumstance. I also visited many places, some of them were on business purpose, and the others were as private travels. Visiting new places always gave me new discoveries and deep impressions, and I really like these feelings. I would like the visitors to Japan to feel such impressions, and I would like to assist them – this is the primary motivation for me to be a tour guide. One of my hobbies is trekking. One of the travels that made an impression on me was a mountain trekking at Nepal. I trekked 4 days through the hills over 3000m in Himalaya with mountain guide. Another nice experience was the trekking of Jungle in Sarawak island in Malaysia. The guides explained the natures such as plants, flowers, butterfly and insects of those areas in addition to the trails in both cases, and I really recognized the importance of the guiding. If the guides were not suitable, my memories on the travels might not be so nice. Japan is really beautiful country. It has seasonal beauty according to the four clear cut seasons. The natures with historical buildings are beyond description. I really hope you, visitors, receive great impressions during your stay in Japan. I can arrange any kind of tours – from half day city tour to mountain trekking. I will customize special tours for you with proper recommendations. I am looking forward to hearing from you!!

Konnichiwa! I'm Kader, a proud local host in the vibrant city of Tokyo. I deeply appreciate the unique blend of traditional and modern cultures that make Tokyo such a special place. 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. One of the best things about Tokyo is its bustling energy, even though it maintains a peaceful atmosphere. Whether you're an avid photographer or just someone looking for an unforgettable experience, there's no shortage of amazing sights to see in this city. 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. And, of course, I can't forget to mention my love of anime and Japanese fashion. I'm an avid shopper and often head to Omotesando to browse the latest fashion trends. As an expert on all things Tokyo, I'm always happy to share my knowledge and help visitors make the most of their time in this amazing city. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned traveler, I'm confident that you'll love this city as much as I do.

I was born in Osaka and spent my life there until I graduated from university. Thereafter, I moved from Osaka to Yokohama to find employment in the City of Yokohama, and worked there as a city official for more than 30 years. In the City of Yokohama, I was mainly in charge of city planning and international exchange programs with foreign cities, both of which were instrumental for me to expand perspective to know Japan. Now, after nearly ten years' guide experience, I still continue the efforts to become a good guide.

I have been in Tokyo(downtown side) since I was born. For three years I have traveled in 57 countries and worked in Bolivia for a year. When I traveled in Maya's ruin, I was really impressed that my guide told me not only the information about the ruin but also how to live in Guatemala, how to earn and the political problem etc... A guide is a diplomatic entrance to the country, I think. From this experience, I would like to give you what I have to every customer. Having been worked as an elementary school teacher in Japan, though I know the educational issue as a strong point, now I work as a tour-conductor traveling around Tokyo area. I used to hike around the world, of course in Japan. Northern Japan Alpes, Southern Japan Alpes, Yatsugatake mountain range and Mt.Fuji. The highest one for me is Mount Cotopaxi in Ecuador with 5892m. Another strong point is that I can hike with you. Let us make unforgettable and precious moment during the tour! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tengo experiencia que he trabajado en Bolivia como un maestro de primaria. Hablo español y tengo Diploma de Español como Lengua Extranjera Nevel B1. Cuando viajé unos países en Latinoamérica, me impresionó su amabilidad de la gente local. Muchas veces estaba en apuros pero siempre los desconocidos me ayudaron. Además una guía profesional en una ruina de Guatemala me daban las informaciones no solo de la ruina también de la vida cotidiana. La experiencia me conduce a lo que querría hacer ahora. ¡Ojalá sea yo un guía quién les doy información que los clientes quieren! Ahora vivo en Tokio como un acompañante de autobus quién trabajo en los alrededores de Tokio. Cada día les llevo los clientes japoneses a los lugares turisticos a lo largo de la lista de recorrido. Monte Fuji, el mercado de pescado de Toyosu, Kamakura etc... Como un guía turistico, podría hacer un recorrido ajustando a su desea. También tengo experiencias del senderismo en Japón y en algunos países. El Cotopaxi de Ecuador es una montaña mas alta para mí con 5897m de la altura. Cada vez que tengo una vacación, suelo subir las montañas bajas y altas de Japón. ¡Hagamos una experiencia maravillosa durante este recorrido!

【Recommended for 1. business traveler or 2. family traveler with kids】 Welcome to Japan!!! My name is Takashi(Tak) and I am a BLEISURE guide(Business + Leisure) who can support you both business interpretation and your pleasure time. And I am licensed tour English guide in Japan. I love to travel. I've visited 80 countries for last 15 years. it is very exciting to know about different cultures, foods, life style in each country. I am addicted for it. One of my favorite city to stay is Tokyo. I am able to guide you both for the traditional part and the modern part in Tokyo. For the traditional part, I like Asakusa, Tsukiji fish market and Yanaka area to walk around. For the modern part, I like Harajuku and Akihabara because it is very original in Japan and you can find very specific culture only this area in the world. <1. For business traveler> Furthermore, I also welcome a guest who visits Japan for business purpose. You may have limited private time. You may make a stop only for 24 hours in Tokyo for transit of your flights. Within the limited time, you can enjoy Tokyo highlights in the evening & night with the professional local guide. In case you would have a business meeting with Japanese company, you may need to find a business interpreter for the meeting because many Japanese still can not speak in English frequently. I would offer you Bleisure tour(Business + Leisure) which you can combine business and leisure together in one day. You do not need to find a business interpreter separately. Regarding my business experience, I had worked for one of the biggest Japanese investment and trading company for 12 years. I have a lot of business experience build bridges between Japanese companies and foreign companies especially in USA, Europe and the Middle East. In 2012, I went Dubai to work as marketing and sales manager. I had worked there for about 4 years and I've done a lot of business negotiation. To be frank, Japanese business culture is unique compared to global standard. And if you are not used to doing business with Japanese companies, I believe you need a help. <2. For family traveler with kids> In the home, I am a father of 3 kids. My kids ages are 5 years old, 3 years old and 9 months old. I know how to arrange an itinerary with little kids. I welcome a guest with little kids. I can make the original and special tour for your family which kids can also enjoy. And if you have a baby stroller, it is very tricky to find out where an elevator is located at each subway and train station. With the professional local guide, you do not need to be troubled about this kind of issues. Thank you very much for reading my introduction. I hope to see you soon in Japan!
