About Tour Guide Taka M.

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!

Excellent Guide

Flexible. Tailored experience to accommodate my preferences. Also, helped get apps I would need while in Japan and showed me how to get and use PASMO card which will help me as I travel to different places in Japan. He also made certain that lunch was a great cultural experience. All this resulted in a completely wonderful day in Tokyo.

Hi Robert and Ron, thank you for your wonderful tour review. Enjoy the rest of your journey in Japan to the fullest!

Exceptional Guide and tours

Taka is exactly the type of guide anyone could want. He is knowledgeable, easy to work with and accommodating to each person or groups wants and needs. He is full of suggestions and ideas based on your interests and willing to work with you to make an unforgettable experience. We had the most amazing tours with Taka. We saw Japan through a lens we would not have been able to see and feel without Taka. His fun and easy going personality was a perfect fit. He did everything possible to ensure we were happy and saw all on our to do list and more. His English is excellent as well and easy to communicate with. Thank you Taka for an unforgettable experience. Until we meet again, Arigato.

Thank you very much for the thoughtful and heartwarming review! I don't know why but I have a feeling I'll see you again soon :)

Excellent- Second Day Tour Recap

Taka was fantastic! He helped curate a perfect tour for my family. (Full transparency: We booked two full day tours either him- this is a review for Day 2.) I was very specific- I do not like crowds and I do not want to visit the same tourist attractions as everyone else. Taka delivered! I also wanted to find a very specific shrine and buy specific gifts and eat very specific food. I didn’t want to run all over the city looking for these items- using a guide made the experience less stressful and more memorable. My photos are amazing! I won’t give away my tour because I am proud of our unique and personalized experience, but know I would 100% book again with Taka.

Japan

Hello everyone! I was born and raised in Kawagoe, a charming historic city located just next to Tokyo in Saitama Prefecture. Two years ago, I graduated from university here in Japan, and I now work as both a tour guide and a study abroad support advisor. Three years ago, I had the life-changing opportunity to study abroad in Vancouver, Canada. The warmth and hospitality of the locals left a deep impression on me. I discovered the joy of immersing myself in a new culture and way of life, and I truly came to appreciate the beauty of connecting with people from diverse backgrounds. Now, I want to be the one offering that kind of experience to others. As your guide, my goal is to make your journey in Japan truly special. Through GoWithGuide, I strive to go beyond typical sightseeing—I want to create meaningful opportunities for you to engage with Japan’s rich culture and traditions on a deeper level. I’m committed to providing a safe, thoughtful, and unforgettable experience for every guest. Let’s not just visit Japan—let’s feel Japan. Join me on this unique journey, and together, let’s discover the heart and soul of this incredible country. I look forward to meeting you soon! Depending on your tour and needs, my teammates Kei and Ethan may also join to help ensure the best experience.

*Bookings for cherry blossom season are full; if the date on the calendar is greyed out I am not available* 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. I’ve traveled to every prefecture in Japan, often using unlimited rail passes to explore castles, historic sites, and regional specialties. 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. I studied at Japanese language school in Kyoto. I visited all the world heritage sites in Kyoto and have a lot of knowledge on the history of Japan. I can provide tours of Kyoto or places outside of Tokyo for an additional transportation fee. Tour options: Half-Day Tour: 20,000 yen (4 hours) Full-Day Tour: 40,000 yen (8 hours) Full-Day Tour Outside of Tokyo: 40,000 yen plus transportation expense
