“Excellent Multi-Day Tour of Tokyo with Akira! ”

If you're planning to spend any time in Tokyo, I highly recommend that you hire Akira to be your guide! Our group of four spent four full days exploring Tokyo with Akira. He is a complete professional, and speaks English very well. We not only visited the major sites, but also interesting off-the-beaten-path places that we would never have visited without Akira's guidance. Akira is knowledgeable about Japanese history, culture, customs, and food, among other things. Food was a major reason for our visit to Japan, and Akira turned out to be the perfect dining companion, leading us to some of the best eats in Tokyo! Akira is in demand, so be sure to book your tour early!

Dear Joseph, Thank you so much for the great review. Thank you so much for hiring me for 3 days and I’m so happy that you enjoyed the tours. So glad that you loved the foods. The foods that we had such as udon noodles, shaved ice, hand-dripped coffee, ramen, Teishoku were local’s favorites made by local people that I love. I am so happy that you enjoyed them as they were and so happy to see you enjoying each of the moment like many locals do. Thank you very much for treating me as one human being, not as just a guide, and letting me be myself. In that way, I could show you not just a bunch of popular sites but also some of local favorites. I’m looking forward to another chance to explore my loving city together. Sincerely, Akira

“Local Tokyo”

Akira is a true local guide for Tokyo. He knows his city well and is able to share the classic tourist sites as well as some of the everyday local haunts. Instead of seeing only areas well traveled by tourists we were able to get behind the scenes views of everyday life.. Grandma's Harajuku where we had a delicious lunch - we were the only tourists. A pick-me-up early afternoon coffee at Aoyama Coffee Roaster where we watched the owner pour us a delicious cup - well off the beaten path. We saw it all. Thank you Akira.

Dear Patricia, Thank you so much for the great review. It is my joy to show you unostentatious side of Tokyo, or what I call "Tokyo with no makeup" which is the things I do know about, and I am so happy that you like it. So happy to saw you and Mark having great time at my favorite spots, enjoying my favorite things, and exchanging with my favorite people. I hope that the day we spent together will make you feel coming back to my loving city. I am looking forward to another chance to explore my loving city together. Sincerely, Akira

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. This passion led me to pass the N2 Japanese Language Proficiency Test in 2018, study at language schools across Japan, and graduate from the Japan Visual Media Translation Academy. My work in translation and interpreting brought me into contact with notable figures in Japanese media. I’ve traveled to every prefecture in Japan, often using unlimited rail passes to explore castles, historic sites, and regional specialties. I’m particularly passionate about seafood and love traveling to places like Hokkaido and Niigata during the winter for the best crab and fatty yellowtail. I also enjoy visiting Japan's finest hot springs, especially in volcanic areas. My martial arts background includes five years of traditional Okinawan Goju-Ryu Karate, with multiple trips to the Ryukyu Islands, and experience in iaido, kyudo, and judo. I hold a degree in Asian Studies from a Tokyo university, and my extensive experience living in Tokyo has made me an expert on the city’s transportation system, hidden gems, and affordable eats. With over 30 visits to Kyoto, I have deep knowledge of its historical sites and the broader cultural landscape of Japan. Tour options: Half-Day Tour: 20,000 yen (4 hours) Full-Day Tour: 40,000 yen (8 hours) I can guide you through Tokyo, Kyoto, and other historical cities like Kanazawa, Nikko, and Kamakura. Rail fare outside Tokyo is additional. Let me show you the best of Japan!

Japan

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.
