About Tour Guide Ai M.
Hello! Thank you so much for your interest in having me as your tour guide.
I am a national licensed guide-interpreter based in Tokyo, with a background in art, design, and the creative industries. I have guided over 200 guests from around the world, including families, couples, and solo travelers, on both classic Tokyo highlights and more tailored cultural experiences.
Beyond the popular districts like Shinjuku, Harajuku, and Shibuya, I love introducing hidden gems—stylish cafés, vintage clothing stores, contemporary architecture, craft markets, and unique cultural spots connected to everyday life in Japan.
I also enjoy hiking, traveling to nature-rich destinations, and working with plants as part of my creative work. Because of that, I am very comfortable guiding tours that blend the city with nature, such as day trips to Hakone for onsen, art museums, scenic spots, and beautiful views of Mt. Fuji.
Whether you’re interested in fashion, architecture, seasonal flowers, or a deeper dive into Japanese lifestyle and design, I can tailor your tour to your personal interests and pace. Families with children are also very welcome, I often support family trips and know how to make the day smooth and enjoyable for everyone :)
If you are looking for a guide who combines culture, creativity, and mobility, I would be delighted to show you a side of Japan that fits your style.
Looking forward to helping you make wonderful memories in Japan!

“Wonderful Day in Tokyo with Ai!”
I had an excellent experience with Ai for our tour! She is very insightful, kind, and genuinely wants the tour to be about what you want - not what is easiest for her. She went out of her way and sacrificed her own time to obtain seating at an outstanding sushi restaurant for us! Ai is very accommodating and flexible about designing the tour around your needs and interests. She is very knowledgeable about Tokyo and is an absolute joy to spend time with. I am grateful I found her and believe you will not be disappointed if you ever decide to use her services. Thank you for much Ai for the wonderful day and for being such good company!

Thank you so much, Chris, for your heartwarming and generous review! I had a truly wonderful time exploring the city with you and enjoyed all of our inspiring conversations along the way. Knowing how much you love high-quality sushi, it was my absolute pleasure to secure those tickets for us! I hope the rest of your trip in Japan is filled with unforgettable memories and fantastic experiences. Please feel free to reach out anytime if you ever visit Tokyo again. Wishing you all the best and safe travels!

“Pleasant Guide”
Very pleasant guide and in touch with the "teenage". Had a last minute request to see the $20 dollars strawberry but obvious she did not call ahead to make sure it was there so ran around to two places with no luck. Otherwise all was good and she did a decent job accommodating my daughters mobility issues. Young guide who is good but will develop to be excellent. Very pleasant person.

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave your feedback. I am glad to hear that you and your daughter enjoyed our time together and that I could support her mobility needs during the tour. Regarding the strawberries, as we discussed when you kindly requested the last-minute itinerary change just a few hours before our tour (as all of the original spots had been visited the previous day), it was before opening hours, which made it difficult to call ahead. However, after checking the first store on-site and confirming they had other fresh seasonal fruits, your daughter kindly agreed to check the second location as well. I do apologize for any confusion or lack of clarity during our busy day. Although it was my first experience catering to mobility needs (as I mentioned when I received your first inquiry), I tried my best to accommodate your requests on the go, but I am sorry for any shortcomings. I truly appreciate your valuable advice and will use this experience to improve my services further. Thank you again, and I wish you and your daughter all the best in your future travels.

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.

I have been working for the business with American companies for many years and have many experiences guiding customers from all over the world, from Japan to the USA and Europe. I lived in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, for five years and loved to drive around Europe, the USA, and Japan. I now have a national license as a guiding interpreter and want to introduce Japanese traditional culture to people worldwide who are interested in it. I can be your guide in Tokyo, Yokohama, and Kamakura for your enjoyable time in Japan.
