About Tour Guide Chiaki K.
Welcome to Japan! My name is Chiaki. I’m a government licensed guide interpreter, a wife and mother of two grown-up children. I’ve been living in Tokyo for 30 years so I know the area well.
If you don’t want to miss popular “must see” places, wish to eat a variety of Japanese popular and delicious food, have particular interest in Japanese theatrical arts, architectures, gardens, tea ceremony and “kawaii” characters, or are tired of tourist spots and like to see the real life of people in Japan, I can help you.
My goal is to help you to make your stay in Japan as memorable and fulfilling as possible. If I can serve you to make your special trip more special, it will be my pleasure.
Important
If you stay in the central area of Tokyo or Chiba, I will pick you up and drop you off at your hotel or anyplace you like.
We will take public transportation and walk a lot so please wear comfortable shoes.

“Highly recomended”
We had a great day out with Chiaki. Please book her services at the beginning of your stay in Tokyo. She will help you so much. The weather was poor on our day but in the end that was a good thing. We went to see the fire ceremony at a Buda Temple. This was very good. Let Chiaki show you things off the beaten track. Let her show you spots you dont see many tourists. You can see all the touristy places yourself. No need for a guide. Great communication before we arrived. Lots of extra recomendations from her. Her English was very good. Do not hesitate to use her services. Highly recomended
Chiaki K.
Thank you so much Gary, for your lovely and thoughtful review! I’m very happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour. Even though the weather was not good in the morning, it was perfect when you got the river cruise. I enjoyed spending the day with you and sharing places that are special to me. I sincerely appreciate your recommendation and your trust in me as your guide. You must have had wonderful cruise tour through Japan and Korea and now you are back home safely in England. Wishing you many more wonderful travels, and I hope to welcome you back to Japan again someday!

“My Tokyo Experience”
Chiaki made my introduction to Japan both welcoming and truly unforgettable. Her deep knowledge of Tokyo’s history and culture, exceptional attention to detail, and thoughtful use of visual aids brought each story vividly to life. She also went well beyond the role of a guide, patiently showing me how to navigate Tokyo’s complex train and bus system with confidence and ease. Chiaki truly earnt a 5-star rating.
