“So Glad We Booked Three Days with Akira!”
Spending three days with Akira was a wonderful way to explore Tokyo. He made public transportation easy to navigate and always considered our needs and interests. We especially appreciated the local discoveries we never would have found ourselves, including an authentic lunch spot and an incredible fruit stand. We left with great memories and a deeper appreciation for Japan!

Dear Ralph, Thank you so much for the great review. I am so glad you enjoyed the three days, like I did. Glad you liked not only those popular tourists sites such as Tuskiji Market, Sensoji, Ginza and Harajuku/Omotesando which of course are important places for locals, but also the neighborhoods with the "old school", and "everyday" Tokyo vibe. The places we went, the districts we wander about, the narrow alleyways we walked into, the foods (including delicious Japanese pear!) we had, and the people we met are the pieces of Tokyo that I love, that I miss when I am away from the city. I am so happy that you liked them, and I would like to thank you for being polite and respectful always to locals and their culture. Also, I would like to thank you, K, M, J, and R, for having me, treating me like your new neighbor, in a way that made me feel easy to talk and listen; I hope I did the same to you. It was my pleasure to be the first local to show you around the city, and I hope that I could help you to get an idea of what it is like to be a local in this city. I am looking forward to another chance to explore my loving city together. Sincerely, Akira

“A Wonderful Mix of Tokyo Highlights and Hidden Gems”
We booked Akira for three days, and we loved the variety of experiences he shared with us. From famous sights to quiet neighborhoods and wonderful local food, he helped us discover so many sides of Tokyo. His insights into Japanese culture and everyday life made our time even more meaningful. He was thoughtful, flexible, and attentive to our group. Highly recommended!

Masahiro N.
Hallo zusammen! Ich heiße Masahiro, aber meine Freunde nennen mich Masa. Nach meinem Studium in Tokio habe ich von 2006 bis 2013 in Wien gelebt. 2013 bin ich endgültig nach Japan zurückgekehrt. Während meiner Zeit in Wien habe ich die deutschsprachige Welt und ihre Kultur sehr intensiv kennengelernt. Heute möchte ich eine Brücke zwischen dem deutschsprachigen Raum und Japan sein – und genau deshalb arbeite ich als Reiseleiter. Ich habe das Gefühl, dass diese Aufgabe meine Lebensaufgabe geworden ist. Für mich ist ein Guide so etwas wie ein privater Diplomat. Er verbindet Menschen aus verschiedenen Ländern und Kulturen und hilft ihnen, einander besser zu verstehen. Ich habe bereits Erfahrung darin, meine Gäste durch viele verschiedene Orte in Japan zu führen, unter anderem durch: • Tokio • Kamakura( Kanagawa) • die Region um den Fuji • Kawagoe(Saitama) • Nikko(Tochigi) • Karuizawa (Nagano) • Kanazawa(Ishikawa) • Kyoto • Osaka • Kobe • Himeji • Nagasaki …und natürlich gibt es noch viele weitere Orte zu entdecken! Ich wohne heute in der Nähe von Tokio. Deshalb sind Touren in Tokio und der Umgebung für mich besonders gut machbar. Eine Reise macht das Leben bunt! Lassen Sie Ihren Alltagsstress hinter sich und genießen Sie entspannte Momente, neue Entdeckungen und interessante Begegnungen – vielleicht sogar den einen oder anderen kleinen Kulturschock. Ich freue mich sehr darauf, Sie auf Ihrer Reise durch Japan zu begleiten! Bis bald in Japan!

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 more than 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.

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!!
