Hello, ladies and gentlemen!
The goal of my guiding is having an adventure with guests, not only explanation for places and things. I'm making a point of oppotunities of a short conversation with local peple anywhere. Let me introduce real life of the Japanese through visiting tourist destinations. Especially art and architecture in that place have strong relation with Japanese real life or culture.
Let's have an adventure with me looking for the key to Japanese culture!
You can customize the tour I published on this site. Also I can create a totally new tour for you in Tokyo or around Tokyo. Moreover, if you request through tour, which is noy only Tokyo but Kyoto, Nara, Setouchi Art Islands, Osaka, I'll create the plan with some conditions. Please contact me!
“Energetic & Very Enthusiastic!”
Muchan is a great guide! She spent so much of her own time researching cool & interesting places for me & my husband to go. She was so helpful the whole time we were with her & was genuinely happy to see us. Our trip was great & we had an awesome guide to tell us about all the things & places we saw. Muchan also has EXCELLENT taste in food if that's something you're looking for in your trip. Highly recommend, especially for larger groups as she is so good with people!

(2 reviews)Hello Maggie, Sorry for the slow reply! I appreciate you sent the great review! Spending time with you two have been a kind of my dream for about a year. The dream came true finally and now it became an unforgettable memory. Thank you so much . I will release a new tour at the end of this year on Gowithguide. If you have an opportunity, try to visit my page of Gowithguide, and think about the booking. Hope you would visit Japan again. Many thanks, Muchan
“Great day out ! ”
This tour is a mix of "touristic" spots (e.g. Asakusa Temple, Skytree) and an insight view in the day-to-day lives an the homes of the "common people and artists" in old Tokyio. We visited a female artist, two carpenters and an architect whilst we very strolling through the old streets. Make sure to wear your walking shoes...! In addition, since you will be using underground, overground and bus transportation: make sure you have coins and small banknotes for the tickets. Mutsuko has travelled the world and she knows a lot (probably everything) about her home town. Ask her any question, even off the beaten track- she will have an honest and intelligent answer. Mutsuko will guide you through this metropolis and it becomes a very pleasant and enjoyable day out. If you are, next to the tourists spots, interested in art & architecture, urban planning, people and japanese culture/ society- I highly recommend this tour.

(2 reviews)Thank you Ms.W.Cordula! Guiding Artistic "Edokko"Tokyo local tour has been my kind of dream for these 3 years. While I couldn't work as a tour guide for foreign visitors, I was planing and carrying out this tour on line. The tour with you in person made my dream come true. Each tourist destination has a background related to people's everyday lives. You are so intelligent that you grasped what I wanted to pass along beyond the languages. I really appreciate you walked, saw and talked together with your full of curiosity, although I could drag you around due to my too much passion. I'm planing the other tours for Tokyo and suburbs from the different angle. Please check the guide "Mutsuko T." on Gowithguide. I'm looking forward to seeing you again on my tour!
