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.

“Unforgettable and Amazing”

Maru was a great guide that taught me how to ride the trains and also taught me the history of certain areas too. Friendly, dependable, and overall an amazing guide that made me feel welcomed to Japan. Our visit to the Meiji shrine was insightful and our tour of Harajuku and Shibuya taught me so much that when I come back next time I am sure to have her as my guide again. Thank you very much Maru.

“Highly Recommend”

I went on a customized full-day tour of Tokyo with Maru and it was absolutely fantastic! She was incredibly knowledgeable, spoke excellent English, and had a great sense of humor that made the day both fun and informative. What really stood out was her flexibility—she easily adjusted the itinerary to include some spontaneous requests I had to visit specific points of interest. It felt like a perfectly tailored experience from start to finish. I highly recommend Maru to anyone looking for a personal and engaging introduction to Tokyo. Five stars all around!

Maru K.

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback, John. I’m truly happy to hear that you enjoyed your customized tour of Tokyo with me. It was a pleasure showing you around and sharing both the well-known and hidden spots of the city. I’m especially glad we could adjust the itinerary to fit your spontaneous ideas—our shoe shop hopping was such great fun! I hope the memories you made here will stay with you for a long time, and I look forward to welcoming you back to Japan again someday. Warm regards, Maru
