About Tour Guide Jolly S.
Hello! I'm Jolly, government-licensed guide with over 10-year experience of guiding foreign guests from around 40 countries. Are you looking for a friendly and knowledgable guide to talk with a lot? Are you interested in history and clues to understand Japanese culture? If you say "yes", why don't you join my tour?
Tokyo is a wonderful city having various aspects. With its 400-year history, Tokyo has a lot of traditional spots like splendid Buddhist temples and serene Shinto shrines. You can also find beautiful traditional Japanese gardens. On the other hand, Tokyo never stops changing. Every year new spots emerge and trend-conscious people enjoy visiting sophisticated shopping districts. Various types of amusement are available from digital art museums to cat cafes. And another very important point is Tokyo is full of delicious food!
I love Tokyo and I'd be happy if I could help to make your stay in Tokyo more enjoyable. I'll take you various spots including both traditional and modern ones according to your requests. I really like to talk with my guests about various topics like Japanese culture, religions, history, art, food, everyday life of Japanese etc...
I'm looking forward to seeing and guiding YOU soon!

“Jolly is a great guide”
Jolly is a great guide! She created an itinerary for us based on our interests which was to see and learn about the spectacular buildings in the Ginza. We could have done this ourselves but would have been just visual, not informational. She also took us into buildings with sculptures and art we’d never have found. I’d go with her again!

“Perfect day with Jolly ”
We had an amazing private tour with Jolly and it was the highlight of our stay in Tokyo. Jolly is a very kind ,warm person, beautiful and is perfect in every way! We loved her patience, doesn’t rush us and very helpful at all times. She radiates with exuberance.I genuinely felt so much better catching the train in Tokyo because of her guidance .She went beyond our expectations.We were so comfortable with her straight away and she treated us like family, so did we. We loved talking to her about everything especially my husband who felt very connected. Jolly you made us all happy for the entire day . It was fun , funny and always full of surprises. We were sad at the end of the tour because we had to say goodbye. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for showing us what Japanese hospitality is . We really hope to see you again next time. 5 stars isn’t enough. You are 100 stars and more if only I am allowed to rate your service. Arigato gozaimasu.

Oh! What a heartwarming review you gave me...although you must've been a bit tired after our Tokyo tour and you have a big day to Nikko today. Thank you so much for taking your time. I really appreciate it!! I also want to thank you all for your kindness, tolerance and politeness during the tour. Yes, you treated me just like family. You always paid respect to our culture and patiently listened to my sometimes a bit too long stories. You and your husband are sophicticated, intelligent and at the same time very humolous. It was a great fun to talk with you. We talked even about the world future! Of course I was fascinated with your cutest daughter as well. She is not just beautiful but energetic, cheerful and really pleasant to be around. She is a real angel. Again thank you very much for finding me. I really had a wonderful time with you. Take care and keep enjoying your stay in Japan. Arigatou gozaimashita!!!

“A Terrific Tokyo Two-Day Tour with Jolly”
Several months before our trip to Japan in March, 2025, my wife and I scheduled a two-day tour of Tokyo highlights by mass transportation with Jolly. She was extraordinarily responsive to my inquiries and sent us a proposed itinerary for our consideration and comment, offering to make any changes we desired (the plans were so well curated that we never needed to make any modifications or suggestions for other or different venues to explore). Jolly was punctual in meeting us at our hotel both days and organized our tours in a sensible manner to make the use of the Tokyo metro as efficient as possible. She is remarkably knowledgeable as to the sights we visited and provided interesting information in English we could clearly understand (unless Kon'nichiwa and Arigato constitute fluency, my Japanese is woefully deficient). Jolly ushered us through the subways effectively, always sure to let us know the number of stations on the train until our next stop so we would not inadvertently stray. Most important, though, Jolly is a lovely and warm person and we greatly enjoyed spending time with her, talking about her family, daily life, favorite foods, and interests. My wife and I are grateful and consider ourselves incredibly fortunate that we chose to tour Tokyo with Jolly. I am confident that you will as well.
