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.

Chiaki was such an amazing guide! She was very friendly and communicated everything before and during the tour. She planned an amazing first day in Japan for us, very knowledgeable and fun! Would definitely recommend her to friends and family.

“Tokyo tour”
Went on a tour of Tokyo with our lovely guide Chiaki. Chiaki was an absolute delight! *prompt - Chiaki arrived at our hotel ahead of meeting time *courteous - so kind, so polite *helpful - willing to arrange our day to best suit our compressed timeline, find the perfect lunch spot, and plan our return to our hotel later without her via subway by providing a map and a post -it note with detailed train and transfer information *knowledgeable - whether questions about the city, the trains, or historical/cultural questions, Chiaki cheerfully shared her knowledge

(91 reviews)Hi Rick, thank you so much for your wonderful words! You must be writing this review in the Shinkansen. It was a hot and humid day today so you must be tired. Thank you for your taking time to post it. I spent a lovely day with you and your beautiful family. I hope you enjoy your days in Kyoto and safely go back home. Please visit Japan again with your son and stay longer. Send my best wishes to Barbara and Victoria! Thank you again!
