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.

Important

I am available 7 days a week, but if you prefer popular tourist destinations, please select weekdays. Additionally, my tours have a minimum duration of 5 hours. I also specialize in private tours for small groups (FIT), with a max of 5 people.

“First day in Tokyo”

We had a lovely day with Ritsuko. We ticked some of the major hotspots and she was able to help us get our heads around the train and subway system before we started sightseeing on our own.

Hi Angie, thank you for your warm review. Although it was rainy that day, I’m glad I could help make your special anniversary trip a little easier. I hope you’re continuing to explore depachika food halls and local restaurants, and enjoying plenty of delicious food along the way. Thank you as well for the lovely photo!

Outstanding! Very patient. We went to a variety of locations; a forested green park right in the city as well. As the Shibuya Crossing, a very revered Temple of a great Emperor. Wonderful Experience.

Hi Jim & Donna, Thank you for your lovely review. I’m glad we could make the most of your port day in Tokyo, from enjoying matcha at Hamarikyu Gardens to looking down over Shibuya Crossing and experiencing a little of Shinto & Imperial tradition at Meiji Shrine. Wishing you a wonderful rest of your cruise and many more memorable adventures ahead!

“Ritsuko K was a fabulous guide”

Ritsuko guided us for several days in Tokyo where we began our Japan trip. She helped us set up an itinerary and was flexible when we needed to make changes. In short, Ritsuko was fantastic. So knowledgeable about the sights and history! She took into consideration our interests (and our jet lag) and tailored our tours accordingly. Thanks so much Ritsuko - we thoroughly enjoyed meeting you and our introduction to your beautiful country!

Hi Prakash, Lynne, and Allyson, Thank you so much for your kind review. I also really enjoyed spending those two days with you! Unfortunately, the weather wasn't on our side on the first day, and we couldn't visit Tokyo Skytree, but it gave us the chance to spend more time exploring the National Museum. On the second day, we finished at Shibuya Sky, where I hope you enjoyed the special view over Tokyo. Even though you were still dealing with jet lag, you walked a lot over the two days, which allowed me to show you many different sides of Tokyo, my hometown. Thank you again for choosing me as your guide. I hope you will come back to Tokyo again in a different season someday!
