About Tour Guide Dai A.
Hi, I'm Dai, a national licensed tour guide for people from all over the world.
I’m crazy about traveling around the world.
I’ve backpacked in over 150 countries.
So I'm proud of my traveling skills, flexibility and patience that I've ever experienced through my world-traveling.
I do believe one of the most important thing for travelers is to " EXPERIENCE ", such as doing something new, extraordinary and something you've never done before.
Also, I used to work at a hostel in Asakusa, so I'm quite familiar with Asakusa area.
I'd love to help international tourists enjoy their stay in Japan.
You can arrange your own itinerary as you like.
Please feel free to contact me anytime, if you have any questions.
I'm really looking forward to seeing YOU soon. Thank YOU.

Reviews
“Great first impression of Japan”
We booked a half day with Dai prior to our first day in Japan. We walked the around the exterior grounds of the Imperial Palace, stopped by a market, and toured a Buddhist temple. Dai was very helpful answering our many questions. It was a good day.

“Great guide for Tokyo!”
I had only one full day in Tokio and needed to pack it so to visit most of the interesting places in Tokio, which are too many. And, considering a complexity of excellent metro/subway system along with language issues, it's impossible without a very good guide. That's where Dai as able to make it happened. Thanks to him, we were able to visit all the sites I planned to see and , from him, I had learned souch about history of Japan and local traditions, despite the rainy day. Arigato gozaimasu, Dai!
