“Truly efficient tour of Tokyo”
We had only a few hours to spend in Tokyo and Toshihiro-san did an outstanding 7‑hour tour of Tokyo. His deep local knowledge, clear explanations, and friendly patience turned a long day into one of the trip’s highlights. We loved how he balanced iconic sights with great food stops and practical transit tips — we left with full stomachs, perfect photos, and a much better sense of the city. We will plan to visit for a longer time to explore this fascinating city that has contributed so much to the world. Highly recommended

Toshihiro Y.
Thank you for the amazing tour review, Vikas-san. It was a kind of a layover tour to go back to your country. You were in Tokyo only short hours. I highly appreciate your challenging spirits to try to experience Japan in spite of the short stay. This Tokyo tour was done between early afternoon and evening. Some touristic spots are appropriate to visit in the morning. It was not easy to make the itinerary. But you were very cooperative. Thank you again. I highly recommend that you come to Japan again with three weeks for the entire country, at least four nights stay in Tokyo. Late March cherry blossom season would be nice.

“Great way to see Tokyo in a day”
We had a fun day with Toshi exploring Tokyo. We saw a lot of the sights and had a really good lunch at a sushi restaurant. If you are only in Tokyo a short time then I would recommend Toshi as your guide. He was informative and has a good sense of humor.
Toshihiro Y.
Thank you for the brilliant tour review, Ian-san. You had visited various places in Japan for two weeks. We visited unique spots in Tokyo on your last full day in Japan. You already knew Japanese culture and life style very well. I enjoyed conversation with your family. I am very glad to hear nice comments from you. Please come to Japan again in the near future.

“So Efficient”
We went all over the place and covered a lot of ground. We saw so many sights and stopped at great places all over Tokyo and little places here and there to eat. For lunch we wanted hand made Udon and he knew of a place immediately and is was sooo good with an inexpensive price. We are a family of 4 and he took great care of all of us!
Toshihiro Y.
Thank you for the outstanding tour review, Garry-san. You investigated well about modern popular spots for family. Tour was slightly customized. In Tokyo, some areas are not appropriate for lunch. But you were cooperative to eat lunch at the area where there are many restaurants. Thank you very much. You are still in Japan and will visit many other places. Have a nice trip!

Grant A.
Hello! My name is Grant, and I’ve spent over a decade living and exploring Japan. Originally from Omaha, Nebraska, I first came to Japan as a high school exchange student in Inuyama, a historic castle town in Aichi. My love for Japan began early—sparked by childhood games like Pokémon that were released in Japanese before English. That early curiosity grew into a lifelong passion for Japanese language, culture, and history. I hold an N2 on the Japanese Language Proficiency Test, a degree in Asian Studies from a Tokyo university, and I graduated from the Japan Visual Media Translation Academy. I’ve visited all 47 prefectures and explored a wide range of historical sites, shrines, and castles throughout the country. My background in Japanese history helps me provide context that brings depth and meaning to the places we visit—whether it's understanding a centuries-old temple in Kyoto, the story behind a castle ruin, or uncovering the historical layers of a Tokyo neighborhood. If you’re planning to explore Tokyo, here are some tour options to consider: One day in Tokyo? The Ginza Line Tour offers a great introduction to the city’s highlights. Two days? Pair the East Tokyo Tour and West Tokyo Tour to get a well-rounded experience. Interested in anime? The Anime Tour is flexible and can be tailored to match your specific interests. For those looking to go beyond the city, I also offer day trips to Nikko, Kamakura, and other nearby destinations. While most guests book Tokyo-based tours, I also guide in other regions—especially Kyoto, where I’ve visited every World Heritage Site. I regularly lead tours in Osaka, Nara, Nagoya, Hikone, and other locations easily reached by rail. Multi-day and custom tours are available on request. Full-Day Tour: 40,000 yen (8 hours) Full-Day Tour Outside of Tokyo: 40,000 yen + transportation Feel free to get in touch to plan a tour that fits your interests and travel plans.

Yoshi K.
Hi! I'm Yoshi. I am a National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter. Since I was born in Tokyo, near Asakusa, the famous tourist spot, and I now live in Yokohama, I am very familiar with many sightseeing spots and attractions of Tokyo and Kanagawa area. I used to live in California in the states, as a graduate student at UCLA and Stanford University, so I speak natural American English. I used be a CEO of an internet company, dealing business with many foreign companies of the US, European countries and Asian countries. Therefore, I know your culture! I can explain Japanese culture, by comparing them with yours. Of course, I can guide you to the popular spots, like Asakusa, the Imperial palace, Meiji shrine, Shinjuku, and Shibuya. But also I can take you to some secret places, which nobody knows, like a hidden temple in a dungeon. Interested? Please contact me. See you soon! Yoshi

Hi, I'm Ritsuko, a national licensed tour guide. I was born and raised in Tokyo. As Tokyo is a city of many faces, I hope you will discover your hidden gems during the tour. I love to wander around the shops and places downtown and one of my hobbies is to find daily-use products made in Japan. So I can select unique souvenirs for you within your budget! I am football-mad and have been to every FIFA World Cup except one tournament since 1998. I also love to go island hopping in Asia. That's why I have been to over 30 countries. Wherever I went, people were so kind to me. So, it's my turn. I will do my best to make your tour a memorable one! Hope to hear from you soon.
