About Tour Guide Gulay G.
Konnichiwa!
I am Gulay, I have been working as a professional guide since 2008, and have received my training at the Department of Tourism Guidance for 4 years. I moved to Spain for one year (Las Palmas de Gran Canaria) and worked as a volunteer and mentor in EVS organizations (European Voluntary Service) But then my interest in Japanese culture led me to my current carrier in Kyoto for 3 years. Guiding is my passion, I believe guiding for guests that you never met before from totally different countries is great chance to know people better to improve your skills. As your guide, I will be pleased to share my experience of guiding with you and will do my best to make your holiday a memorable one.
I am here to explain the local culture and traditions and give guests other local insights.

“Private tour with Gulay”
We had a great time with Gulay for our first day in Tokyo. We communicated prior to what we wanted to see and more important, not see. She took us on a tour that involved both the quiet settings of parks and temples but also a walk through some of the shopping areas including vintage clothing and bohemian artists. We had a great time with her. Highly recommend a private tour, she meets you at your hotel and takes you on the tour which for us lasted 7+ hours. Thank you Gulay!!!

“Shrines and Harajuki girls.”
We had a super day in Tokyo with Gulay heading to off the beaten track Shrines and buildings. She also educated a couple of Oldies in the Harajuki girls culture and their amazing clothing. We saw anime and dropped into the streets of the young. Gulay is a very informative guide and good fun to spend a day with. We would totally recommend booking her as your guide in Tokyo.

“An awesome fashion adventure”
We found Gulay after my wife and I discovered Shimokitazawa. Gulay knew all the best places to go. My wife love vintage fashion, and the district did not disappoint. Couldn't recommend Gulay more. She was awesome and we'd ask her to guide us again in a heartbeat.

Being a former student and staff member of the University of Tokyo, I have a natural ability to communicate with people from all corners of the world. Regardless of whether you prefer to speak English, French, or Globish with me ! I have practiced Aikido, Iaido (Katana), and Kyudo (Bow) martial arts, and I have also worked on the restoration of Japanese armor. Therefore, I am well-versed in the art of war in ancient Japan. But my passion for history goes further, and during my guided tours, I will share various anecdotes that will bring ancient Japan to life for you ! I'm also a huge fan of old Japanese video games, especially RPGs, so if you want a true otaku experience, follow me to Nakano Broadway and Akihabara! If you're interested in arranging a tour that's tailored to your preferences, feel free to send me a message !

Koichiro Y.
Hello! I’m Koichiro. Please call me “Yamasan”. It derives from my family name and my friends call me so. I worked for a machinery company as a project manager and engineer for mechanical and electrical construction projects both domestic and overseas for over 35 years. I recall my first overseas project in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia when I was 26, and the second was in Singapore. I visited many countries for surveys, meetings, commissioning, project handing over, and so on. In 2014 at the age of 60, I decided to retire from the company and live the expected further 30 years of life with a new career and experiences. I, then, studied translation and guide interpretation. I passed the national examination for licensed guides (English) in 2015 and registered with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government in February 2016. Until now, I have been guiding many beautiful guests mainly to popular sightseeing spots such as Asakusa, Tsukiji, Omote-Sando, Meiji Jingu Shrine, and Tokyo Skytree, and also cultural experiences of Origami making, Furoshiki wrapping, and Sushi cooking. I am happy that I can freely arrange a customized tour together with you, or can propose my tours to you. I want to show you some parts of daily Tokyo life and introduce you to Bunkyo City which is located in the heart of Tokyo, just north of Chiyoda City where the Imperial Palace and Tokyo Station are. The city is Tokyo’s typical residential and academic area where I was born, grew up, and live a happy life now. Now, we can tour around the world but have not yet overcome COVID-19 completely. Recently, the number of passengers wearing masks on public transportation in Tokyo reduced to some 25% but we should mind about it still. Please carry your mask to wear it where or when necessary (December 2024, Yamasan).

Atsushi K.
I have been working for the business with American companies for many years and have many experiences guiding customers from all over the world, from Japan to the USA and Europe. I lived in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, for five years and loved to drive around Europe, the USA, and Japan. I now have a national license as a guiding interpreter and want to introduce Japanese traditional culture to people worldwide who are interested in it. I can be your guide in Tokyo, Yokohama, and Kamakura for your enjoyable time in Japan.
