A native Tokyoite with over 20 years of experience, I'm passionate about guiding visitors through the city's rich tapestry of tradition and modernity. Growing up in Chiyoda, Tokyo's heart, I understand the city's unique blend. Working with multinational teams honed my ability to connect with people from diverse backgrounds. In 2021, I earned my English tour guide certification, solidifying my cross-cultural communication skills. Previously, I served at the Imperial Palace East Garden under the Imperial Household Agency, gaining profound knowledge of Japanese history, culture, and the Imperial Family. Fascinated by Japan's heritage, I specialize in guiding tours on the Imperial Family, Japanese arts, and Shinto. My passion stems from research and experience at the Imperial Palace. Since 2024, I've led over 50 tours to iconic locations like Meiji Jingu Shrine, Tsukiji Market, and Asakusa. Despite my recent start, I have over 30 five-star TripAdvisor reviews, reflecting my dedication to exceptional service. My guiding philosophy centers on empathy, flexibility, and personalization. I tailor tours to your interests, ensuring a genuine connection and meaningful interactions. My culinary expertise spans Michelin-starred restaurants to local eateries, making your food experiences as diverse as your cultural immersion. Fluency in French and experience living in Italy allow me to cater to a wide range of international clientele. Embrace the true essence of Japanese culture with my heartfelt and engaging guiding services. I'm passionate about sharing my love for Japan with visitors from all walks of life. Let me help you create unforgettable memories in Japan. I look forward to connecting and sharing the wonders of Japan with you!

Yuki K.
Slovenia
Hello! I am Yuki. I have been working as a tourist guide in Slovenia since 2017. I am a Japanese. I came to Slovenia for studying modern history of ex-Yugoslavia. Being or working as a tour guide is truly unexpected event, because I thought I would go back to Japan after studying. While I was a student, I had many opportunities to travel all Slovenia and ex-Yugoslavian countries both in private and study. Every experience is special and impressive. Then I got opportunity to guide tourists. I enjoyed that very much. I was very happy that I could share my experience as a local and professional knowledge with my guests, so I became a tour guide. Now I have a national guide license of Slovenia, so officially I can guide all Slovenia, but my specialty is LJUBLJANA and GROSUPLJE. As Ljubljana, I have a local guide license, Ljubljana castle guide license, and Slovenian ethnographic museum guide license. As Grosuplje I have a local guide license to guide huge municipality. You can see my tours on the page, but I can also organize the tour for you. I do virtual guide tour, so you can enjoy Slovenia at your home! Please ask if you have any questions. I am looking forward to guiding beautiful Slovenia!

Born and bred in Tokyo I am still living in the suburbs of Tokyo. I spent several years in the U.S. and the UK and wanted to show international visitors around Japan in return for the hospitality I had received in foreign countries. After coming back from the UK, I obtained the qualification of the National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter. I can guide guests to every corner of Tokyo including areas off the beaten track. As a history fan I can tell you a historical episode behind the scenes. From a local perspective I can explain how we Japanese are getting along. Since I have science and technology backgrounds, I can give you a tour of scientific or technical things as well..

Hi! My name is Fuhito, and I would love to be your tour guide in Japan! I will take you on wonderful trips around Japan, and I specialize in giving extraordinary experiences that you will never forget, from popular sightseeing spots to places off the beaten track. Let me share a little bit about myself. I was born and raised in Tokyo’s countryside, and I have spent 3.5 years abroad when I was a child. While I was abroad, I realized that I knew so little about my own country. Since then, I became much more interested in Japan and started to research a lot. The more I learned about Japan, the more I became attracted to Japanese history, culture, and customs, which made me want to live like an ideal Japanese person in some way. I first started out as a volunteer guide and interpreter in Tokyo, and I am now certified as a national licensed guide and interpreter, and have been traveling around Japan to learn more about my country, and to share it with my future guests and friends. As I introduce things about Japan, I found myself enjoying seeing my friends and guests becoming more interested in Japan. Since then, I have also sought out opportunities to get involved in many cultural exchange programs such as walking tours, promoting sister city relationships, taking care of delegations, and organizing homestay programs. I also love to take photos of beautiful scenery, people, and traditional things. I would be more than happy to take your photos for you while you are in Japan, so please feel free to ask! There are so many memories that you can remember from a single photo. Please reach out to me if you have any specific requests or even if you’re just looking for information. I would be delighted to take you to photogenic places to take some photos together! I always enjoy guiding and want to contribute to your wonderful trip with the very best of my hospitality. When you have a chance to travel around Japan, please feel free to ask me anything! And if you book me for a tour, we will surely have a great time together. I look forward to seeing you in Japan!

Hello, everyone!! My name is Yukihiro(行博), call me "HERO". I'm eager to introduce this unique country, Japan to foreign guests. I am not a professional interpreter. I have retired from Japan Ground Self-Defense Force(JGSDF=Japanese Army) on March 2018. 大家好！ 我名字叫xing2 bo2, 請叫我xing bo。我喜歡跟外國遊客分享這個很有意思的國家---日本國。我是個業餘的翻譯導遊, 不太專業, 在2018年3月我退休了日本陸上自衛隊（日本陸軍）。 I have spent most of my career as a Army NCO(Non-commissioned officer) . My job experiences are only in the military, but there are variety of specialties, so I didn't feel boredom. I lived in many places all over Japan, such as Hokkaido 10years, Chiba 15years, Okinawa 8years and more places. 我在軍隊當陸軍士官過了大部分的生活。我的工作經驗只在軍隊內，但是它有很多兵種和工作，所以我沒有膩了。我住過日本各地的很多地方，例如北海道１０年，千葉縣１５年，沖繩８年還有別的有些地方。 I am working for the half of month as a tour-conductor in Okinawa Japan. Rest of month, I live in Nagasaki Prefecture, and work as a Triple Lights interpreter tour guide. 我一邊在沖繩當旅遊服務員大概半個月，一邊在九州長崎當Triple Lights的翻譯導游工作剩餘的月。 I am registered as a Okinawa prefectural interpreter tour guide (English & Chinese), but don't have a whole Japan area certification. So I am brushing my skill up to get it. 我登記了沖繩縣的地域翻譯導遊（英／中文），可是沒有全國的。所以為了獲得全國導遊資格，我正在繼續學外語。 I speak English, Chinese (simplify & traditional) , no problem to guide you, not like a native though. 我會說英語和中文(簡／繁)，作為您的導游沒問題，沒有母語的人那麼好。

Kon-ni-chi-wa. Hello! I'm Kaori, having lived in Tokyo for more than 20 years since I got married with a photographer who lives here. I'm originally from Shizuoka prefecture which has Mt.Fuji, the highest mountain in Japan. I took 2 working-holiday-visa stays in my younger days. One is in Toronto, Canada, and another is Australia touring by motorcycle. One year respectively. I love travel both international and domestic. That's why I love helping individual travelers rather than group tours, because I myself love travel freely. Love nature, gardens, trekking, greenery, also anime. My favorite is taking you to the off-the-beaten tracks where I love. As a national government licensed guide, I've got deep knowledge of Japanese culture and history. I really enjoy talking about the way of life with people from different cultures. We see what you like and talk what you are interested in. That's my style. If you don't know what to want, I can help you with that. I'm happy to make tailor-made tours only for you (up to 4 people) upon your request. ・Half Day (up to 4 hours) : 40,000 JPY ・Full Day (up to 8 hours) : 60,000 JPY ・Extra hour : 7,500 JPY/hour I'm quite an outgoing person, ( but organized well! ), easy to get along with anybody, including small kids to teenagers. Can't wait to see you soon!

Hello! I am Masumi, thanks for checking out my profile! I have spent the past 11 years in Tokyo, but prior to Tokyo, I spent 10 years in Dubai. I have also lived in the UK for a couple of years and studied in the US for a year. I worked as a cabin crew during my years in Dubai. The international and multi cultural environment made me who I am today, an international person. I was fascinated and intrigued by the counties I visited and its people. As my job took me to countless countries, enabling me to see the world, I found that a tour guide could determine one’s impression of the country, making the trip more memorable. I cherish the great tours I went on to this day! Also, having lived abroad for 10 years, I was surprised at the level of interest there is in Japan and how many had the desire to visit one day. After returning to Japan, I soon got a taste of how difficult it could be to get around, even for a Japanese person! Visiting Japan I imagine can be daunting, not just the language barrier, but the ability to get from one place to another in an efficient way. This led me to get started as a tour guide, assisting visitors with the best possible experience in Japan. Tokyo is an attractive city where traditional and modern Japan coexist. You can either arrange your own itinerary, or let me help you discover Japan according to your preference. Leave it to me, we can deep dive into anything from must see landmarks to delicious cuisines to discovering how the locals live. Let me help you make your experience in Japan memorable! Look forward to seeing you soon!
