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.

“An Unforgettable Tokyo Experience – Ritsuko is Exceptional!”
Ritsuko is a phenomenal guide! She was knowledgeable, kind, and incredibly accommodating throughout our time in Tokyo. She opened doors to places we would haven't been able to visit on our own and handled all our logistics seamlessly including reservations and special dietary requirements. Our trip was truly memorable, and it was all possible because of Ritsuko. 5 stars all the way!

“A Memorable Family Day in Tokyo with Ritsuko!”
We had a wonderful day exploring Tokyo with Ritsuko! From the very beginning, she was so helpful, checking in with us to make sure the schedule matched what we were looking for. Her English is great, and she told us so many interesting stories at each stop. She was especially amazing with our kiddo—she even pivoted the tour so we could visit a toy store, which made the day extra special for the whole family. Even with the detour, we saw everything we planned to see. Thank you, Ritsuko, for a memorable day!

Hi Daniel, Thank you so much for your lovely review. It was MY pleasure to spend the last part of your trip in Japan together. Seeing Mt. Fuji from Tokyo Skytree was a special moment, and I’m delighted we could also enjoy the year-end atmosphere and seasonal foods at Tsukiji and Meiji Shrine together. And yes, finding the Smiski made the day even more fun! There are still so many wonderful places in Tokyo that I couldn’t show you this time, so I hope you’ll come back again in a different season. Wishing you and your family a very Happy New Year!

Grant A.
Hello! My name is Grant, and I’ve spent over a decade living and exploring Japan. Originally from Omaha, Nebraska, I first came to Japan as a high school exchange student in Inuyama, a historic castle town in Aichi. My love for Japan began early—sparked by childhood games like Pokémon that were released in Japanese before English. That early curiosity grew into a lifelong passion for Japanese language, culture, and history. I hold an N2 on the Japanese Language Proficiency Test, a degree in Asian Studies from a Tokyo university, and I graduated from the Japan Visual Media Translation Academy. I’ve visited all 47 prefectures and explored a wide range of historical sites, shrines, and castles throughout the country. My background in Japanese history helps me provide context that brings depth and meaning to the places we visit—whether it's understanding a centuries-old temple in Kyoto, the story behind a castle ruin, or uncovering the historical layers of a Tokyo neighborhood. If you’re planning to explore Tokyo, here are some tour options to consider: One day in Tokyo? The Ginza Line Tour offers a great introduction to the city’s highlights. Two days? Pair the East Tokyo Tour and West Tokyo Tour to get a well-rounded experience. Interested in anime? The Anime Tour is flexible and can be tailored to match your specific interests. For those looking to go beyond the city, I also offer day trips to Nikko, Kamakura, and other nearby destinations. While most guests book Tokyo-based tours, I also guide in other regions—especially Kyoto, where I’ve visited every World Heritage Site. I regularly lead tours in Osaka, Nara, Nagoya, Hikone, and other locations easily reached by rail. Multi-day and custom tours are available on request. Full-Day Tour: 40,000 yen (8 hours) Full-Day Tour Outside of Tokyo: 40,000 yen + transportation Feel free to get in touch to plan a tour that fits your interests and travel plans.

I’m so excited to have a chance to show you around my favorite spots in Kanagawa prefecture. I was born in Kanagawa. I spent my whole school life, including university, here in Kanagawa. I worked as a high school English teacher here for more than 40 years. I love Kanagawa so much. We have many interesting tourist spots, like Hakone, Kamakura, Enoshima and Yokohama. I got my tour guide license in English in 2009. I am still an English teacher. To give an interesting and impressive lesson to young high school students, I’ve learnt and gathered many kinds of information. I also have a license to teach social studies, so I have a wide range of knowledge about Japanese culture and history. I’m sure to provide you an interesting tour.
