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.

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.

“Fantastic tour w a real professional ”
Chiaki arrived on-time (actually, a little early, which is my preference) and was very much prepared w our train schedules, which were really important because the tour was in our way back to the airport. We toured Shibamata w her - a beautiful and charming little town with an AMAZING temple (possibly our favorite of the many we saw on our trip). That was actually a suggestion she’d made a couple months earlier when I was looking to book a completely different tour w her: she knew we had only so many hours to tour before getting to the airport so she suggested Shibamata. She was right. It worked out perfectly. She even stayed with us until we boarded the train to Narita. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much Steven, for your wonderful review! I’m truly happy to hear that the tour fit smoothly into your travel schedule and that everything worked well on your way to the airport. You must be at the airport right now, waiting for your flight. I’m especially glad you enjoyed Shibamata. It’s such a charming area, and I’m delighted it became one of your favorite places during your trip. Thank you for trusting my suggestion! It was a pleasure spending that time with you, and I’m glad I could assist you to have a half day trip before you fly from Narita. Hope you spend wonderful time in Thailand! Thank you again!

Hi, I'm Nobuo. Please call me "Nob" or "Noby". I am a national certified English tour guide. I became a tour guide, after working for a foreign company for over a quarter century. I am interested in the Edo (the old name of Tokyo) culture. And I also join volunteer groups which are "the Edo-Tokyo Museum" and "the Imperial Palace East Gardens", which used to be the Edo Castle. You will learn the present Japanese culture, history, the Japanese way of thinking, and a Japanese sense of beauty based on the Edo culture by joying the tour. I am sure that I can provide you with the most impressive tour. I hope you enjoy your stay in Japan. I'm looking forward to seeing you soon!
