“visit to Tokyo with Akira”
we had a well-guided tour of Tokyo with Akira. He explained a lot to us, including customs that may seem foreign to us but are appropriate in Japan. They were also interesting conversations for us about life in Japan. thank you very much.

“Hidden gems and local flavors with Akira”
On our second day with Akira, we explored quieter, more local neighborhoods like Zoshigaya, Sugamo, and Yanaka — and it became one of the highlights of our trip. Akira shared some of his favorite hidden food spots with us, which made the experience feel extra personal and authentic. He also took amazing photos of us throughout the days, capturing moments we’ll always treasure. It truly felt like walking through Tokyo with a friend. Thank you, Akira!

Dear Boryana, Thank you so much again for another great review! Where we went, things we did (what we had for lunch...!), and people we met, during the are all my favorite part of Tokyo. I am so happy that you liked them. I would like to thank you for not having just fun, but also being good observer and paying respect of locals and their culture. It was my pleasure to be a guide for wonderful people like you and Galin. I am looking forward to another chance to explore my loving city together. See you next time! Akira

“Perfect start to pur Tokyo trip with Akira”
We had the pleasure of spending our first two days in Tokyo with Akira as our guide, and we couldn't have asked for a better introduction to the city. He tailored the experience to our interests, blending famous sights with hidden gems we would have never found on our own. Akira made navigating Tokyo feel effortless and stress-free, which really helped us settle into our trip. You can tell he genuinely cares about his guests having the best possible experience. We’re so grateful to Akira for making our first days in Japan memorable, and we’d highly recommend him.

You are the first Bulgarian customer in my guide career, and it was so interesting for me to hear from things your country, such as history, culture and etc. Thank you so much for another chance to realize how lucky I am, and how wonderful it is to be a tour guide. Sincerely, Akira

Hello, potential tourists! I'm Yuko, Yokohama local tour guide with English government license. I have been living in Yokohama for 40 years, and have been working in Tokyo for 35 years; 20 years as a business person,10 years as a teacher, then I became a tour guide in 2015. Yokohama is a major port city, and the 2nd largest city in Japan. It is one of the most popular sightseeing spots for Japanese tourists as well. However, for non-Japanese guests who are to experience things unique to Japan, without a tour guide, it could not be so stimulating, - a beautiful harbor, traditional garden, fashionable shopping mall, which could be likely to appear not so different from Tokyo, or other Western or Asian port cities. Actually, Yokohama is very special for Japan ! Without Yokohama, Japan would not have been developed into what it is now! Would you find real attraction of Yokohama with me ? Also I'm familiar with Tokyo, an urban city and Kamakura, an ancient city. See you in Yokohama, Japan!

Hello, I'm Yoshi!! I started my second career as a tour guide after retiring from the Japanese computer company I had worked for about 40 years. I was born in Asakusa and grew up in down town in Tokyo. I’m married with two daughters and three grandchildren, two girls and a boy. I've experienced guiding international visitors in Tokyo and other famous sightseeing spots as a guide for several years. I will be so happy to help you enjoy your stay in Japan. Look forward to joining my tour!!

Hello, I'm Hiroshi. I am a National Government Licensed Tour Guide Interpreter in English. I have got a master's degree in Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in the U.S. I have been living in a city of Fujisawa, which is the city next to Kamakura, for more than 20 years, and also lived in Kamakura for more than 10 years. So far, I have visited almost all the temples and shrines in Kamakura. So I am sure I can offer you a pleasant trip to the historical city, Kamakura. In addition to Kamakura, I can also guide Tokyo, Yokohama, Hakone, Nikko, etc. because I have visited many places in Kanto area. For example, in Tokyo I can show you around the sightseeing spots such as Asakusa, Tsukiji, Imperial Palace, Meiji Shrine, Tokyo Skytree, etc. I like baseball and used to play baseball, but now enjoy watching professional baseball games. And I like watching Rakugo, Japanese traditional story-telling performance. Of course, I also like travelling very much, and am interested in Japanese culture and history. So I would like to show you Japanese tradition and culture. Let’s enjoy a trip in Japan together. I am looking forward to seeing you soon.
