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.

“Tokyo Half-Day Customized Tour”
This was our second time touring with Chiaki. Both times she took our copious written requests and developed a reasonable and flexible itinerary which resulted in a lovely and efficient tour focused mainly on local crafts, kitchen wares, ceramics, chocolate and coffee. We also slipped into Kiyosumi Gardens with 3 minutes to spare for a sunset stroll around the pond which was absolutely beautiful. Chiaki is very easy to talk with and shared stories of her life in Tokyo along with ideas for future tours. We highly recommend Chiaki! And will definitely engage with her when we return next year! Thank you for a wonderful day.

It was truly a pleasure being with you, especially with your thoughtful interests in local areas of Japan, temples, shrines and nature. I’m so glad everything came together smoothly, and that we made it into Kiyosumi Garden! It was beautiful! And now I’m glad to know you are back home safely. Thank you for spending another lovely day with me, and I look forward to seeing you again on your next visit and finding good chocolate and coffee shops! Please send my best wishes to Ann-san!

“Great day in East Tokyo”
We had a great day with Chiaki. She customized a tour for us to focus on the easy side of Tokyo. The tour included some major sites and less know sites. Chiaki had history and details for the various stops which adds so much value to viewing them on our own. Beside the sites we really enjoyed Chiaki’s company for the day. We highly recommend Chiaki if you are in Tokyo.

Dear Jeff, thank you so much for your wonderful review! I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour. It was such a pleasure spending the day with you and sharing some of Tokyo’s stories and history along the way. Especially, Kiyosumi Japanese garden was beautiful and peaceful, and we had relaxed time together. Thank you again and I hope you keep enjoying your trip in Japan!
