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 S. Japan Tour Reviews
“Memorable Tour! ”
We want to thank Jolly for being our guide. Despite the rain on the day of our tour, Jolly was well-prepared with an alternative plan that perfectly accommodated the weather, ensuring we still had a good time with various activities. Her guidance and responsiveness to all our questions were greatly appreciated. Overall, she truly made our first full day in Japan a memorable one. We highly recommend her as a guide!

(8 reviews)Thank you so much for your heartwarming review! I truly appreciate it. I'm so glad to hear that my tour was memorable for you. You were all so gentle and listened attentively to my explanation...I myself had a wondertful time with you! Thank you once again for choosing me as your guide and taking time to write this review. Take care!
“Jolly is great!”
We had a really fantastic and fun day with Jolly in Tokyo. She is a very nice and extremely pleasant person, with a real sense of humor. Her English is great. We had booked another tour of the main sites (temples, museums, etc.), so we asked Jolly to really help us see the more fun and everyday side of Tokyo. She took us to a pachinko parlor, a cat cafe, the biggest electronic games arcade I have ever seen (or want to!), a bonsai store, two art galleries and a dealer in old swords, plus the old fish market. We had lunch at a great sushi place in one of the department stores. It was all just tremendous and great fun. I am sure Jolly can give a great tour of the traditional sites as well, but that was not what we ask her for. Highly recommended. Kent and Luca

(8 reviews)Oh! Kent and Luca!! Thank you so much for your heearfelt review. You're so sweet. I really like to share our usual life with my guests and I'm very glad to hear you enjoyed my tour. After your tour, I bought a small bonsai at the bonsai shop, and the cheff at the sushi bar was so skillful and friendly...The tour with you two is quite a nice memory for me, as well! Thank you again for taking time to write this warm review. Take care!! Jolly
“Amazing day with Jolly!”
I cannot recommend Jolly highly enough. She was not only knowledgeable and fun to explore Tokyo with, she was also extremely flexible and willing to adapt the tour to our own interests. We had already been to one of the spots she was going to take us so on the fly, she suggested another neighbourhood we might enjoy. This proved to be one of our favourite parts of visit to Tokyo so far. I highly recommend Jolly as a guide. You won’t be sorry.
