About Tour Guide Ritsuko K.

“Amazing First Day in Tokyo”

We had an amazing experience with Ritsuko, she was our tour guide on our very first day in Japan and she was extremely nice, helpful and accommodating. She was able to share and explain so much about her culture and Tokyo City, she also gave us a very good explanation about how the subway lines work and after our tour we were very comfortable getting around Tokyo and using the subway. She also changed a few details of our tour the day of so it would work better for us. I would recommend Ritsuko to any of my family and friends coming to Japan and I will also have her as our guide when we come back to japan! ありがとうございます For an amazing experience!

“Amazing Tour of Tokyo, Old and New”

We did a two day tour of Tokyo with Ritsuko K that met all of our expectations and beyond. Ritsuko is a pleasure to spend time with and, provided so much information that helped us to understand the culture, traditions and people of Japan. Our two days were full and we saw so many things that we would have missed without her. During our travels she always made sure to find the elevators or best route for us due to some mobility issues. If you want to spend time with someone who truly loves what she does, book her for a tour, you won’t be disappointed.

Hi Paula and Randy, Thank you so much for your thoughtful review. It was truly a privilege to spend those two days with you. Your kind words deeply move me about my passion for guiding. As a Tokyo native, sharing the charm of my hometown with such wonderful guests is what makes this job so rewarding for me. I am also very happy that a new page was added to your photo collection during our time together. I hope those pictures bring back fond memories for many years to come. I hope the rest of your travels are just as wonderful. Take care and stay healthy!

“The Perfect Introduction to Japan”

We had the absolute pleasure of spending time in Tokyo with Ritsuko during our first trip to Japan, and she made our experience so wonderful. From the moment we met her, she was warm and kind. We were visiting in February while our son is studying abroad in Kyoto, and wanted to see both Tokyo and Kyoto for the first time. Ritsuko helped us make the most of our time in Tokyo. We easily logged more than 15,000 steps a day walking, navigating trains, and exploring neighborhoods we never would have found on our own. She took us to Senso-ji, Meiji Shrine, Tokyo Tower, and even arranged a sumo lunch experience that turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. It was such a fun and unexpected surprise. Ritsuko was not only incredibly knowledgeable and organized, but also simply lovely to be with. She balanced history, culture, and logistics seamlessly, all while keeping the days relaxed and enjoyable.

Hi Tina, Thank you so much for your heartwarming review! It was my pleasure to help you explore Tokyo for the first time. I was so impressed by your energy—even though it was your first full day in Japan, you walked so much with me to introduce you around Tokyo. Regarding the Sumo lunch, while I often send my guests to such spots, it is quite rare for me to sit down and watch the show together. I am truly grateful for your generosity in inviting me to join you. Cheering for Asanohide together is such a fun and special memory for me as well! I imagine your days in Kyoto and Nara must have been wonderful and fulfilling once your son joined you. Please come back to Tokyo again someday in a different season. I would love to show you even more of this city's hidden gems.
