“A great start to our stay in Tokyo”
Atsuko was a wonderful guide for our group including 3 generations and young kids. She was open to changing our plans based on the weather and adapted to any requests! We highly recommend spending a day with Atsuko!

“Like Traveling with a Best Friend”
Right after we booked our ANA tickets, one of the first reservations we made was for a private tour of Tokyo on our first full day in Japan. This tour was important for us since we wanted to have the chance to ask questions about customs and travel, as well as take our first steps in this amazing city with a skilled guide. For that tour, I requested Atsuko-san, largely driven by reviews that commented on how touring with her was like traveling with your best friend. I want to confirm that those reviews are 100% true. From the moment of meeting Atsuko-san in our hotel lobby until the point where we had to say good-bye, it was a wonderful time - exploring the city, enjoying food together, crossing the city via subways and buses, and learning about customs and history. Our itinerary spanned the Tsukiji Outer Market, Hamarikyu Gardens, Tokyo Station, and Meiji Jingu. It's hard to choose a favorite moment from our time together, but we'd like to share two that will always stand out. Hamarikyu Gardens is stunningly beautiful and serene. It is the perfect place to walk and talk; however, we'll always remember it as where we joyfully laughed as we all tried (very unsuccessfully) to identify the different types of fish swimming in the tidal pools. Tokyo Station also stood out, but in a much different way. While we had lined up hotels in six different cities for our trip, we had left train reservations to be done "on site, as needed". For this, Atsuko-san's help was invaluable and it really showcased how much she cared about us and wanted to help in any way possible. Since that time, we have successfully negotiated seven train trips and I credit Atsuko-san for giving us the know-how and confidence to do this. If we could give six stars for our time with Atsuko-san, we would do so without hesitation. It truly was a memorable experience!

Thank you for taking time to write me such a fantastic review Andrew! I hope you are having wonderful time in your 17 days birthday trip in Japan. When you back to Tokyo please enjoy Hokusai museum there are original works which you bought books at Meiji Jingu shop. Please say hello to Lisa and have a good time both of you in Japan.

“A perfect customized tour with an amazing guide”
We spent 7 hours with our wonderful tour guide Atsuko. I had sent her all of the places and experiences that we wanted in Tokyo and she put together a perfect day for us. She was charming, fun, and caring. She helped us navigate the city through the subway system which added to our experience and made us feel very comfortable. We feel like we experienced most parts of the city in one day. The highlights of the tour were the fish market, parks, shrines, shopping and great food. She shared great knowledge of her own culture was very familiar with our culture as well which allowed us to have good conversations. It felt like we were spending the day with a friend who was showing us the highlights of her city. We chose the perfect guide.

Thank you for taking time to write me such a fantastic review Lynn. It was a very pleasant day and I had a wonderful time with you and your husband. I'm so glad that you enjoyed the tour. Now you are on cruise ship. I hope you can see Mt.Fuji from the ship. Please enjoy other part of Japan and Hong Kong.

Kyoko I.
Hello, my name is Kyoko. I am a National licensed tour guide. After graduating from college in the United States, I worked as an editor for an international in-flight magazine. It gave me the opportunity to travel to many countries, including Europe, America, Asia and Mid East, to gather research for my articles. I live in Tokyo with my family, I sing in a local chorus group and I enjoy cooking Asian food like Indian, Thai, Burmese and Korean food. Being a tour guide for group or private tours, I get to meet people and learn about different cultures from all over the world. It has become my most favorite thing to do. I am very enthusiastic about sharing my Japanese culture and hospitality to make your travel experience memorable. As your guide, I will show you the beauty of Japan!

Tak Y.
Hi, my name is Tak. I have seen travelers. And, I found they got tired of typical sightseeing spots, like crowded temples and shrines. There must be spots fit to your feeling and interests, more in Japan. Then, I’d like to propose. Why don’t you start unique and original tour, only your hearts bring to yourselves? . I had guided Pokemon tour Ghost story tour Inari Shrines tour Live house tour Bento (lunchbox) tour Textile tour Papermaking tour I’ll search the site you want to see and create your unique itinerary. First, could you give your message about things you want to do and see in Japan? Let’s make great time you can’t never forget. Thank you so much. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------. I live in SHITAMACHI, Tokyo, or old residential town near ASAKUSA and UENO. My hobby is strolling and I walk about this area almost every day. I know even the smallest path, big and small museums, workshops of artisans, an impressive view of gigantic tree, a beer bar in an impressive old house, unique souvenir shops, cats living in Yanaka and many, many other attractive spots in this area. You can expect a day that nobody read in guide books. So! I hope you name me as the navigator of your fantastic memory-making-tour!!!! I’m 61-year-old and I still love rock’n roll music. If you want to enjoy live music in Tokyo, I can also arrange the location and occasion according to your mood and boom.

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.
