About Tour Guide Saori H.

Thank you for reading my profile page.

I came back to Japan after living in USA and one of EU countries in 2020.

I am back again to serve for my precious guests with more entertaining, understanding and caring skills.

I worked as a Japan's tour guide for more than 7 years, and I lived in some foreign countries such as USA, Philippines, Ireland, Italy, Romania and Moldova. So I do understand what is interesting or what seems difficult to understand for foreigners in Japan. I hope I could be a help for our precious visitors to understand and enjoy our unique country, Japan.

First Day in Tokyo (8H Tour)

Tokyo

Sapir was and is a super awesome guide

She met us early at the hotel and was very kind and considerate to our needs. I am a plus sized person and she was kind enough to stay at my pace as she led us through the Sumida Hokusai museum, Meiji Jingu Shrine (we saw 3! 3 wedding parties) and then finally, Ghibli Museum. Next time we are in Japan I will be definitely reaching out and hoping to secure her services again.

Superb introduction to Tokyo, and Japan in general

This was my first visit to Japan, and therefore very much needed a guided tour that covered some historical/cultural highlights, offered sufficient flexibility to accommodate my preferences, and did so effectively in English. Saori surpassed my expectations on all counts. I have no doubt that was in large part because, having lived in the U.S. and Europe for a substantial number of years, she has the perfect skill set to serve as a “bridge” between such differing cultures. I couldn’t recommend Saori more highly and enthusiastically. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

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.
