About Tour Guide Ritsuko K.

Hi, I'm Ritsuko, a national licensed tour guide. I was born and raised in Tokyo.

As Tokyo is a city of many faces, I hope you will discover your hidden gems during the tour.

I love to wander around the shops and places downtown and one of my hobbies is to find daily-use products made in Japan. So I can select unique souvenirs for you within your budget!

I am football-mad and have been to every FIFA World Cup except one tournament since 1998.

I also love to go island hopping in Asia. That's why I have been to over 30 countries.

Wherever I went, people were so kind to me. So, it's my turn.

I will do my best to make your tour a memorable one!

Hope to hear from you soon.

Half Day Tour of Tokyo using public transportation:traditional vs modern

Ritsuko was an excellent tour guide. She was personable , informative & well organized. She helped us navigate the express train to the airport.She provided us with a custom tour based on what we experienced during our cruise itinerary. She responded to our questions in a timely manner. We enjoyed the entire day!!

Phenomenal Way to Start our Trip

Ritsuko was an invaluable tour guide for first full day in Japan. In advance of our visit, she asked about our plans and preferences; we provided the neighborhoods we thought we’d go back to and specific stores that we wanted to see. She met us promptly at our hotel, she learned all of our names, and had charted a course for us that was perfect. We started with learning about the train/subway system, and then visited Shinjuku, Harajuku, and Shibuya. Ritsuko pointed out key landmarks, neighborhoods, and stores based on each of our preferences so we could return on our own time (which we are doing in the next two days), and she waited as we explored a bit on our own. Ritsuko is kind, patient, enthusiastic, and her English is very good. We really enjoyed our time with Ritsuko and were sorry for our day to end! We can’t recommend her highly enough!

Hi Jennifer, thank you very much for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review. Thanks to the information you shared in advance about Sophia’s and Roman’s interests, I was able to prepare several options that suited your family well. Even after your long flight, everyone walked a lot, which allowed us to cover quite a bit in a limited time and gave me the chance to introduce the modern side of my hometown. I believe that you are now moving around Tokyo more confidently, discovering new places and enjoying shopping to your own tastes. I also hope Matt’s throat is feeling a little better and that you all enjoy sashimi and rice during the trip. Wishing all of you many more wonderful adventures during the rest of your journey in Japan! 日本で素敵な思い出をたくさんつくってくださいね

Excellent tour guide

Ritsuko K has excellent communication skills, is flexible and accomodating to your specific interests and helped us by explaining and guiding the train system. Highly recommend as we had the most enjoyable and memorable day.
