About Tour Guide Keiko O.
Hello! I’m Keiko.
The memories of travels are somehow linked with foods: I absolutely agree with this. How about you? Travel and food are the two things I love, and I would be delighted to share my passion with you!
Before becoming a government licensed guide, I worked for 40 years as a bank manager. Throughout my career, I was always in contact with overseas, communicating with many people from across the world. Also, I lived in London for 3 years and went to elementary school there. Having such a background, I naturally became very much interested in cross-cultural exchange. Whenever I travel abroad, I always try to experience local culture, because it gives me a chance to encounter many interesting things.
As a guide, I wish to not only introduce the beauties and wonders of Japan, but also to take you on a first-hand experience tour of our country, especially focusing on Japanese culinary culture. It will be nice if you can take home what you experienced here and enjoy cooking Japanese dishes in your county – a lasting souvenir! My 40 years’ experience in traditional Japanese kaiseki cuisine might be helpful here.
Come and explore Tokyo with me!

“Keiko is an excellent guide!”
Our tour of Tokyo was flawless thanks to Keiko. She was very punctual, had excellent communication skills, and was very knowledgeable about her city. With her guidance, we were able to experience many highlights of Tokyo in the short time we were there. Keiko went far beyond our expectations. What a wonderful day we had. Thank you Keiko-san.

Jaylene-san, Bryan-san, thank you very much for your wonderful comments. Having to move a long distance from port to airport in six hours, while introducing the landmarks in Tokyo, was like doing orienteering! Tokyo is a huge city, and there are so many places that I would have liked to show you. On your next visit to Japan, please take ample time at the cities that you did not fully explore this time!

“Tokyo Food/Shopping areas”
Thank you to Keiko We had a wonderful tour with Keiko! As a longtime resident of Tokyo, she is knowledgeable of the city and its history. We also found her to be gracious and well spoken. She was also kind enough to help us with travel logistics-such as picking up advanced train tickets for the JR Line. We would both recommend her services to others, and be glad to tour the area again if we are lucky enough to in the future

Dawn-san, William-san, thank you very much for your wonderful comments. Being a foodie myself, I enjoy doing food tours more than anything. After relaxing in the nature-rich regional cities and hot springs, the hustle and bustle of Tokyo must have been a huge contrast - yes, Japan has many different sides, so please do come back again to explore more!

“Wonderful tour and company”
Our two days with Keiko in Tokyo were truly wonderful : she devised a tour over two days that perfectly combined the traditional, cultural and historical aspects of Tokyo with its modern and more quirky neighborhoods - in addition to great food references and tips. She is a true guide in the sense that being with her felt like being given the keys to Japanese culture and customs, in a respectful and intelligent way: definitely a highlight of our trip - highly recommend!
Keiko O.
Isabelle-san, Martin-san, thank you very much for your wonderful comments! I really enjoyed walking with you for two days introducing various things, especially because you had arrived already equipped with knowledge of Japanese history. Your interest in our culture made my job all the more rewarding, so the pleasure was mine indeed. Thank you, and I hope you come back again someday.

Grant A.
Important note: I am currently not able to take new customers after the end of March, 2026. 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. 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.
