About Tour Guide Maru K.

Hello.

I was raised in several places, such as Tokyo, Yokohama, Kobe, Osaka, and Nagoya.

After my professional sales experience for a business machinery company in Yokohama, I pursued an opportunity to teach in China.

I worked as a Japanese teacher to foreigners in Shanghai.

The longer I lived abroad, the more I came to appreciate the unique aspects of Japanese culture. So I started learning English and Chinese to become a bridge to help bring foreign visitors closer to Japanese culture.

I would be horored to be your guide as you tour our historically rich country. I am looking forward to traveling Japan with you. Thank you.

'Maru was an absolute delight. She was kind, courteous, and professional. She went out of her way to solve all kinds of logistical problems for me, and took me around to all of the specialized museums that I wanted to see. If I ever go back to Tokyo, I would definitely hire her again.'

Half day tour of Tokyo - unbeatable experience

Maru was very flexible and tailored the tour to our likes. Maru was knowledgeable and provided great running commentary on the various landmarks and areas of interest. She was patient in listening and answering our questions. Pick-up was punctual and drop-off a breeze. Pricing was reasonable. Maru's English communication is excellent and her overall professional demeanor made our overall experience very positive and enjoyable. I would recommend Maru for all your sightseeing needs.

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!

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.
