“Fantastic tour and guide”
Sam was awesome -- he's super knowledgable and this tour hits the highlights of two neighborhoods in Tokyo best explored at night. Right after I booked the tour, I sent him a message asking for a non-smoking izakaya for dinner since my parents are sensitive to smoke. He quickly responded saying he would do that and found us a great place. We really loved Sam as a tour guide and learned a ton -- I highly recommend him!

Aissam E.
Wow, thank you for this wonderful feedback! I'm so glad you enjoyed the tour and that the non-smoking izakaya was a hit with your parents. It was a pleasure to quickly sort that out for you. I had a fantastic time guiding your family through the nightlife and am delighted you learned a lot and loved the experience. Your recommendation is greatly appreciated! All the best, Sam

“Full adventure day for our family”
Aissam was such a good guide. At first we were wondering if the day would not be too intense for us but in the end we did everything and all of us (including our 8 years old) had so much fun. Aissam really adapted to us and was fun to hang with. Your really feel like you discover all of Tokyo in one day. Thanks Aissam !
Aissam E.
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! Reading about your family's adventure day made me smile. I especially loved hearing that your 8-year-old had a great time—it was a pleasure exploring Tokyo with all of you. Showing you around and ensuring the day was fun for everyone was my top priority, so your kind words about me adapting the tour mean a lot. I'm thrilled I could help you feel like you discovered all of Tokyo in one day! It was a genuine pleasure spending the day with your family. Please come back and explore more with us anytime! Warmly, Aissam

“Day tour to Mt. Fuji”
We had a great time with our tour guide Aissam. We started the day early and were able to see everything we wanted to see. Even though it was a cloudy day and weren’t able to see Mt. Fuji we learned more about this region through Aissam’s knowledge. Thank you Aissam!
Aissam E.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to write this lovely review. I truly enjoyed guiding you both today! While I was also hoping for a clear view of Mt. Fuji, I'm so glad that we could still have a meaningful and interesting day exploring the region together. Your curiosity and great attitude made the tour a real pleasure for me.

Kaneo U.
I’m so excited to have a chance to show you around my favorite spots in Kanagawa prefecture. I was born in Kanagawa. I spent my whole school life, including university, here in Kanagawa. I worked as a high school English teacher here for 40 years. I love Kanagawa so much. We have many interesting tourist spots, like Hakone, Kamakura, Enoshima and Yokohama. I got my tour guide license in English in 2009. I am still an English teacher. To give an interesting and impressive lesson to young high school students, I’ve learnt and gathered many kinds of information. I also have a license to teach social studies, so I have a wide range of knowledge about Japanese culture and history. I’m sure to provide you an interesting tour.

Tak Y.
Hi, my name is Tak. I have seen travelers. And, I found they got tired of typical sightseeing spots, like crowded temples and shrines. There must be spots fit to your feeling and interests, more in Japan. Then, I’d like to propose. Why don’t you start unique and original tour, only your hearts bring to yourselves? . I had guided Pokemon tour Ghost story tour Inari Shrines tour Live house tour Bento (lunchbox) tour Textile tour Papermaking tour I’ll search the site you want to see and create your unique itinerary. First, could you give your message about things you want to do and see in Japan? Let’s make great time you can’t never forget. Thank you so much. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------. I live in SHITAMACHI, Tokyo, or old residential town near ASAKUSA and UENO. My hobby is strolling and I walk about this area almost every day. I know even the smallest path, big and small museums, workshops of artisans, an impressive view of gigantic tree, a beer bar in an impressive old house, unique souvenir shops, cats living in Yanaka and many, many other attractive spots in this area. You can expect a day that nobody read in guide books. So! I hope you name me as the navigator of your fantastic memory-making-tour!!!! I’m 61-year-old and I still love rock’n roll music. If you want to enjoy live music in Tokyo, I can also arrange the location and occasion according to your mood and boom.

Grant A.
Hello! 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. While most guests book Tokyo-based tours, I also guide in other regions—especially Kyoto, where I’ve visited every World Heritage Site. I regularly lead tours in Osaka, Nara, Nagoya, Hikone, and other locations easily reached by rail. Multi-day and custom tours are available on request. 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.
