Would you like to have a private guide when you are traveling to Tokyo?
I adjust the experience based upon your needs and desires, so I will ensure that your goals are met.
Hello, I'm Taka.
Tokyo is my hometown all through my life, and I know many interesting places and things to do, which are not yet introduced in the travel books. It will be a real pleasure sharing my knowledge with you.
Tokyo is a truly exciting and multi-dimensional city. I can offer you unique and memorable experiences here in Tokyo. How about walking along some back streets and taste some local delicacies? Or try Sake and Japanese wine?
I have been in broadcasting business for over 30 years, and as a TV director I have made a countless coverage trips all around the globe.
Also I am a professional winemaker in the Unites States, and stay in California during the harvest time every year, from September to November.
With my unique business back ground, I have decided to start my new business as a professional tour guide specializing in the Tokyo area.
Let’s enjoy the cutting-edge Tokyo with a former TV director and a winemaker!
All tours can be customized for you. Send me a message with your requests!

“One Day Guided Tour of Tokyo”
We had an amazing day with Taka! From the time we made the booking, Taka was very easy to communicate with. He was very helpful in planning our day with our interests and sightseeing requests to maximize our time together. Taka planned a great day for us and covered off everything we had requested and so much more. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience that he shared with us during the day. He has a very friendly personality and professional manner along with his years of travel guide experience which made our day with him very enjoyable. Thank you, Taka, Linda and Russell

“A wonderful day of seeing less common sights”
Taka put a great deal of thought and care into our plan and it was an outstanding introduction to Japanese culture and Tokyo. We visited many places tourists would maybe never knew about - it was fantastic. I can’t recommend Taka enough. Thank you Taka!

Dear Kathleen, thank you for writing such a lovely review. Tokyo has so many layers beyond the tourist spots. That what makes it so fascinating! I hope you continue to discover charming little surprises throughout Japan. Wishing you a wonderful journey!

“Off the beaten track”
My wife and I had already seen the must-see tourist sights of Tokyo and our challenge to Taka was to take us off the beaten track to see some of the Tokyo that tourists don't get to see. And he delivered. We saw local shops, had an authentic lunch where there wasn't a tourist in sight, had a traditional Japanese tea and drank Sake at a central city bar that you wouldn't even know existed unless you lived or worked there. It was perfect.

Thank you very much for the review. I had such a lovely time with a terrific couple. It was a great pleasure for me to introduce you to our local culture. Thank you again and take care!
