About Tour Guide Mariko W.

Hello guests! Welcome to Japan and thank you for your coming our country. I'm Mariko, a local guide of English speaking, who were born and raised in Tokyo. I am very curious to know why you choose Japan as your trip destination this time :-)

I have experienced to be a local guide for guests from almost 15 different countries as volunteer activities for a few years so far. My motivations of guide activities are communicating with lots of people from abroad as well as introducing our unique cultures such as architectures, histories, industries, educations and cuisines. I am even learning different perceptions about Japan from foreign guests.

In particular, Tokyo is one of massive cities in the world and it may be a bit difficult for you to decide by yourself where you visit, what you do for your experience, what you want to eat, especially in case it is the first visit to Japan. Additionally, you may have language barriers and transportation systems in Tokyo may be complicated to understand for strangers. I am always welcome to be your guide in such cases and very happy if I can support to make your trip wonderful and memorable.

My guide tour is almost personalized and flexible, vising to 3-4 sightseeing spots in a day according to your ideas. So, please get contact with me and let me know your preferences. I am looking forward seeing you and share the moment with you here in Japan!

For your information, I love traveling as well and visited to 20+ counties in the world and had some educational backgrounds in US & UK. My hobbies are searching nice & reasonable cafes, going on hiking and visiting to various types of Onsen (hot springs) all over Japan.

Important

I prefer to receive a guide request 2 weeks before the expecting tour date as much as possible and extra charge for pick up will be asked in case your hotel located outside of the center of Tokyo.

“One Day in Tokyo”

My wife and I recently visited Japan and spent one full day with Mariko touring Tokyo. We found her to be highly responsive throughout the planning stages and very helpful during the tour. Although the transportation system in Tokyo is excellent, it's an extremely crowded city. Being with Mariko allowed us to see far more than we'd have been able to experience on our own had we tried to figure it all out independently.

I hope you will visit Japan again with your wife or family because there are plenty of attractive places, especially local areas, other than big cities like Tokyo and Osaka. Thank you again for sharing your precious moment with me!! Mariko

Hi. I’m Seigo. I am a licensed guide in both English and Chinese. I can speak Spanish just a little bit. I enjoy listening to music, watching sports, driving in my car, and learning new languages in my free time. Since I have lived in Kanagawa my whole life, I can offer satisfying private customized tours to each guest group. My recommended destinations in Kanagawa are Kamakura, a seat of Japan's first Shogunate, and Hakone, a popular resort area with mountains and Lake Ashi. In addition to the standard tourist destinations, I can also drive you around some nice places in the suburbs of Tokyo that foreign tourists don't usually visit. It will be great if you have fun exploring Japan with my little help. Please feel free to contact me anytime! I'm looking forward to seeing you soon!

I came to Japan in 1998, intending to stay a few months, but enjoying Japan, I never left. I was intrigued by the history, culture, language, and food. And the fascination and excitement of exploring and learning new things about Japan still exists with me today. The variety and choices of things to do and places to go can be overwhelming. I can offer you suggestions and a unique perspective on Japan. I can share local knowledge about things often missed. Fluent in Japanese with a master's degree in Japanese Studies and living in Japan for over 20 years, I can be your guide.

My name is Kumiko. I used to live in New York and London and worked for US companies for many years. Based on my experience, I recognize that Japan is a fascinating country, but at the same time, it is unique in many ways. Tokyo, as the capital of Japan, is a unique and diverse mix of cutting-edge technology, traditional culture, and Western influences. As an art lover, I am happy to show you many galleries in Tokyo. I received a Certificate of Art Business Masterclass from Christie's. As a guide, I'd like to explain to my guests about Japanese culture as well as background and introduce popular places and food. I think most visitors coming to Japan are hoping both to enjoy themselves and also have a meaningful encounter with a different culture. I am looking forward to helping you explore my city and enjoy everything it has to offer.

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.
