About Tour Guide Eiko S.
Hello, future guests! Are you looking for a knowledgeable but friendly tour guide? Here I am! I'm a Nationally Licensed English Guide. I had lived in LA for 5 years. I’ve been an English conversational teacher for 20+ years. My guests widely range from families with children to senior couples. And sometimes Honeymooners! I always decide the itinerary based on your interests, needs, time and weather.
I like Japanese history, nature, culture and food and Anime!
I'm a hard worker, making an extra effort and do my best to make your trip the best! I like children since I am also a mother of two children. I can guide Tokyo, Hakone, Kamakura and Yokohama. Please join my tour!
Tokyo is an exciting city with traditional and contemporary coexists with a lot of interesting things, architectures, food and culture. I would like to show you as many spots as possible based on your interests. My tour is a private tour with just your group and myself, and the customer made itinerary is possible! I'm sure you will never be bored. And with the local guide, you even can enjoy Japan’s complicated train system just like the Tokyoites do!! :-)
Hakone is one of the best spots for a one-day-trip destination from Tokyo. It is rich in nature and if the sky is clear, the view of Mt. Fuji from Hakone is breathtaking. Hakone also offers hot springs, unique transportations, art museums, history and more! It has been attracting many people for a long time. Among them were Jhon Lenon, Charlie Chaplin and Helen Keller!
Kamakura is one of Japan’s 3 ancient capitals along with Kyoto and Nara developed by Samurai warriors in the 13th century. It offers you beautiful nature; ocean, mountains, bamboos, seasonal flowers, and historical temples and shrines with a Japanese style garden. If you stay in Tokyo for multiple days, this is one of the perfect places to visit as a one day trip from Tokyo!
I hope to see you soon in Japan!! Arigatogozaimasu! :-)

“Do yourself a favor and book now!”
Eiko-san is polite and knowledgeable like an aunt but fun and funny like a cousin. Either way, you will feel like you are traveling with family. <3

(64 reviews)Thank you for the great review. It was very exciting for me to tour with you two, both of whom are fans of Japanese anime and studying Japanese. You listened intently to my explanation of various aspects of Japanese history and culture too. It was a pleasure to be your guide. I am relieved that the typhoon passed through safely. Please enjoy your trip to the end! And please come back to Japan again soon! Eiko
“Now it’s also my favourite Hakone!”
Even before we booked this tour, Eiko was helpful via messages about what to see etc. she also gave us a breakfast spot to meet in Odawara! Hakone is beautiful and this tour really let us enjoy the beauty. Eiko even managed to get us to the sights before all the crowds so our photos are amazing! She was also very interactive with our son, making sure he was occupied the whole time. At one stage we actually thought she might’ve worn him out!! Eiko also went that one step further and helped us back to the station and booked our Shinkansen tickets for our onward trip! A must do your if you’re in Hakone (with Eiko of course!)

(64 reviews)Thank you for the wonderful review! I am so glad to know you enjoyed the tour. It is said that the early bird gets the worm, and the beautiful Lake Ashi and the red torii gate standing on the lake in the early morning when there were few people around were exceptional! And we saw Mt. Fuji too!! I was very happy too. You three are a very nice family and I felt like a Japanese grandma. :-) Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing me to be a part of your family's important trip. And I hope you will come to Japan again in the near future! Take care! Eiko

“Fun time in Tokyo”
We had a wonderful 2 days with Eiko in Tokyo. She was extremely patient and helped answered a million of my questions prior to the trip. :p With Eiko’s help, we had an amazing 2 days of touring in Tokyo and visited all the places on our list. Thank you Eiko!

(64 reviews)Hi Patti, Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to write this wonderful review. It was my pleasure to spend two days with you both. I am also very happy to know that you enjoyed the tour! I had been worried about the weather of the day we visited the observation deck of Shibuya Sky until the day before, but the weather recovered and we were able to take many great pictures! I also wished I could have joined you at the Micro Pig Cafe. I believe you have enjoyed it!! Please come back to Japan again in the near future. Take care!! Eiko
