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.

Ritsuko is a very nice person with lots of Tokyo knowledge. She showed us places we never would have found ourselves, and gave us an excellent introduction to Tokyo and Japan. 律子さん、ありがとうございました！ Sincerely Cora and Peder

“It made my layover in Tokyo the highlight of my trip”
Ritsuko had made an itinerary for my two days in Tokyo. I didn't have a clue what I wanted to see, so I left it up to her. She quickly realised what interested my and adapted it to suit. I was a bit daunted at the prospect of navigating the subway and train systems, so without using her as a guide I probably wouldn't have ventured too far and would certainly have missed out on all the different areas in Tokyo. I had onwards travel arrangements to make for the rest of my trip, she assisted with that and discovered alternatives that were much more satisfying. Thank you once again Ritsuko. You made my holiday extra special

Hi Steve, Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! It means a lot to me to hear that your time in Tokyo became the highlight of your trip. I’m delighted that you trusted me to introduce you to my favorite spots and local flavors. Thank you for walking a lot—I can show you the many faces of this city. I hope the rest of your holiday, especially your skiing adventure, is just as memorable. All the best!

“Tokyo with Ritsuko”
Our adult family group of 5 was expertly led around Tokyo districts with excursions to a flea market, malls, unique dining, the shibuya crossing, and spectacular views atop the TMG building. Ritsuko’s knowledge and advice saved us hours of fumbling through the city to experience what we were looking for. Highly recommended!

Hi Tim, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was my pleasure to guide your group, especially introducing my local area that not every guest gets to see was a unique experience for me as well. Although it was a busy holiday, I appreciate your patience with the crowds. Also, thank you for sharing the nice photo. I hope you enjoy the rest of your stay in Tokyo and have a safe journey back to Perth. Take care and stay healthy.

I am a bilingual local who lives in Japan and enjoys travelling myself. I don't have industry experience specific to tourism per se but do have experience welcoming/entertaining international guests visiting Japan for work. I genuinely love to help people visiting Japan have a fond memory and experience in Japan while they stay. I will do my best to cater to all different requests and needs of customers, whether it is about types of places to visit, dietary preferences/restrictions, etc.

This is Yuji, Japanese creator, such as painting, illustration, cartoon, and designing for Japanese magazine & advertising. I graduated from college in the US long ago. I used to work for Japanese publishing company for travel and Information magazine. I take lots of foreign friends to many places around Tokyo as a guide. I can take you common famous places, but also I can guide you if you have a special request, such as art, anime, table tennis or something belongs to your interest. For mostly I guide you by using the common transportation. but I also use my car to take you around for a small member of group because my car is so small, mini cooper.
