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!

“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.

“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.

“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.

Once again, thank you for your kind words and letting me be part of your Tokyo experience. See you again!
