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.

Great Introduction to Tokyo

Ritsuko was a wonderful guide who gave us an excellent introduction to Tokyo. She provided a fascinating overview of the city and its history, with a special focus on architecture and design that perfectly matched our interests. Her knowledge and passion made everything come alive, from historic temples to striking modern buildings. We also enjoyed a lovely lunch together, and throughout the day she was incredibly thoughtful, attentive, and tuned in to our needs. Thanks to Ritsuko, we left with a deeper appreciation of Tokyo and its culture.

Dear Hope, Thank you so much for your heartwarming review. I truly enjoyed spending the day with you and Rickey. Since your interests and tastes were so similar to mine, I was delighted that you enjoyed the soba restaurant and the craft shop I love. We walked quite a lot that day, so I completely understand that Rickey decided to head back to the hotel by taxi. I really appreciate how you continued exploring afterward with such enthusiasm. I’m so glad you enjoyed the tour and felt the charm of Tokyo. I believe you’ve discovered even more wonderful art and architecture during the rest of your trip. There are still so many places I’d love to show you, so I hope you’ll come back to Tokyo again someday!

A great day in Tokyo and introduction to Japan

Ritsuko could not have been more caring and helpful in guiding our group of 5 for the day around Tokyo. One member of the group was on crutches and Ritsuko found elevators in the subway and wheelchairs in the parks so we could all enjoy Tokyo together. Ritsuko was well informed and generous in answering the many questions we asked about what we were seeing and about her life in Japan. It was our first day in Japan and the perfect start to our holiday. We could not recommend Ritsuko more highly. She was great! Sue, Karen, Libby, Janie and Sally

Hi Sue, Karen, Libby, Janie, and Sally, Thank you for your lovely message. I hope Karen’s leg is feeling at least a little better by now. Although the day started with a few challenges, it truly felt like I was part of your wonderful friends’ trip and had a great time with all of you! I also learned something new myself: wheelchairs are available at both the Imperial Palace and Meiji Shrine, which will be helpful for future tours. Tokyo has finally started to feel like autumn, and I hope you’ll come back again someday when everyone is in perfect shape to enjoy it even more. Until then, all the best!
