About Tour Guide Eddy M.
Hello. My name is Eiichi and my nick name is Eddy. So, please call me Eddy because Eiichi is difficult for visitors to pronounce.
I am a licensed guide interpreter certified by Japanese government.
I was born and live in Chiba prefecture, which is next to Tokyo and I have worked in Tokyo for more than 20 years. So, I know Chiba and Tokyo very well. My hobby is ceramic art, golf, and Zen meditation, and I like traveling and reading history books. Based on these experience and knowledge, I will introduce Japanese culture and history.
I used to work as an engineer for one of major electronic manufacturers which exports communication systems and components to overseas. Through the job, I visited many countries including New Zealand where I fortunately stayed for four years with my family. I have found it fun to communicate with people in other countries. So, after my recent retirement, I started to work as a licensed guide interpreter.
I’m looking forward to meeting visitors who are interested in Japanese beautiful nature, unique culture, variety of foods or history.
Important
I am not available after 6pm. Thank you.

“Had 2 Days of Custom Tokyo Tours with Eddy”
This is additional review of our 2 days with Eddy. Cannot praise his service and attention to detail enough. Great communication and wonderful itinerary. Got to use a variety of modes of transportation too. Eddy knows how to make us feel welcome in Tokyo. Would not hesitate to recommend. Thank you Eddy! Bob & ReNee

Hi Bob & ReNee, Thank you so much for your lovely review! I’m really glad you were able to arrive in Tokyo on schedule, even though your cruise ship was affected by the typhoon. The weather wasn’t great during our tours, but I adjusted the itinerary so you could still enjoy some fun spots, even on rainy days. I’m so happy to hear you had a good time and made many nice memories in Tokyo! Hope to see you again on your next trip to Japan! Warm regards, Eddy

“2 Days of Custom Tokyo Tours with Eddy”
First time to Japan and wanted to get a great view of Tokyo. Reached out to several guides asking for 2 days of tours to see the mist that we could have Tokyo. Eddy got back to us right away and put together 2 days of custom sightseeing including temples, parks, aerial views, Imperial Palace and included a Buddhist Fire Ceremony. We saw so much and quite a bit off the beaten path. Eddy navigated us from point to point on schedule using subway, monorail, train and river boat cruise. Eddy presented us in advance with a 2 day schedule and we made a couple variations due to weather but saw it all! We wanted to get Japanese made scissors for our son who is a barber and Eddy stuck with us to get to the right spot. I would not hesitate in recommending Eddy. He was personable and extremely professional. He maintained communication while we were in our cruise in route to Tokyo. We feel in love with Tokyo and can honestly say we made a friend in Eddy. When we return, I will be looking him up. Thank you Eddy for 2 great days of seeing more than we could have imagined and taking such great care of us. Bob & ReNee

I hope the memories from our tours will stay with you for a long time, and I look forward to seeing you again when you return to Japan. With warm regards, Eddy
