Welcome to Japan. My name is Yoichi. I have over 20 years of experience in the travel industry, especially in tours and stays for inbound visitors to Japan, including accompanying teams to the 2020 Tokyo Olympic games and various international sporting events, as well as onsite international conferences.
On private tours, I can take you to Asakusa, Tsukiji, Shinjuku, Shibuya, Hakone, and other famous places in Tokyo, as well as Japanese-style food tours such as ramen and izakaya tours. I am also good at shopping tours, so if there are many things you want, I can guide you efficiently.
I can arrange tours according to your wishes and can also arrange tours to Kyoto, Osaka, or other cities.
I look forward to meeting you in Japan and look forward to hearing from you.
Kozo Y.
Hello! I'm Kozo. I'm currently living in Chiba, which is one of the biggest cities in Japan and located in the suburbs of Tokyo. So, I can guide you to the sightseeing spots in Tokyo and the suburbs, which include Asakusa, Nikko, Kamakura, Hakone, Mt. Fuji, and more. In those places, you can experience traditional Japanese culture and beautiful sceneries.
I'm originally from Kobe, one of the major cities in the western part of Japan. So, if my schedule permits, I may also guide you to the attractive spots in Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, and Kobe.
I took a Master's degree in chemical engineering at the University of Tokyo and an MBA degree at the University of Massachusetts. I am a professional engineer in industrial engineering, an industrial safety consultant, a registered management consultant, and a licensed guide-interpreter. I have been working for a Japanese chemical company for many years. So, if you are interested not only in Japanese culture but also in technologies and businesses in Japan, I may be a good company. :)
As a part of my job as an engineer, I often travel outside Japan. The countries that I visited last year are Singapore, China, the United States, Mexico, Germany, Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia. Among them, Singapore is my frequent destination. Also, in the past, I visited Spain, Italy, England, France, Hungary, India, Canada, Korea, Taiwan, etc. So, if you are from one of those countries, you may ask me how I felt when I visited your motherland. :)
Okay, thank you for reading my self-introduction to the end. I hope I have a chance with you!

Hi ! everybody !
Please call me "Steve". It's my great pleasure to guide you Tokyo, Kamakura, anywhere in Japan. I have worked for an electronics company for 35 years traveling over 25 countries .
I stayed in Germany for 4 years. I'm a customer-oriented guide, so I will arrange your best plan.

Daisuke I.
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!

I can do one day or half day tour for weekends for Metropolitan Tokyo area, but also can cater to the needs of people who want to be guided to some deep, casual and reasonably priced "Izakaya" style drinking places during weekdays after 5:00PM if I am open. I can also guide, if schedule allows, Yokohama, Kamakura, Hakone, Mt. Fuji vecinity, Nikko and some popular places in western Japan like Kyoto, Nara and Osaka as I lived there for many years.
I enjoy talking about many topics such as Japanese culture and of your own country.
