Dear Jose, Thank you for taking the time to write an excellent review. I had a great time sharing with you. Actually, that was my birthday, and you were so generous to invite me to the Yakiniku dinner. I won't forget my birthday, spending time with your girlfriend, her dad, and you. Christmas is just around the corner. Wishing you a joyful Christmas holiday! Michiko

“Full day tour in Tokyo ”
The tour was an incredible experience! My husband and I had already explore some of Tokyo the day before and Michiko was able to personalize the tour that morning. Michiko was very knowledgeable about the places we visited and helped work with the vendors in Japanese in some markets. She was very personable and made the tour extra special!

Dear Bridget, Thank you for taking the time to write the excellent review I'm glad to hear your review. Do you use chopsticks engraved with names? I hope that every time you use chopsticks, you will remember your trip to Japan. Thank you for choosing Japan as your honeymoon destination and me as your guide. May you always be happy! Michiko

“ A special introduction to Tokyo.”
A lovely two days guiding us around some of Tokyo’s treasures. The highlight was being at the Shinto fire ceremony as well as a special sushi lunch at the fish market .
Michiko M.
Dear Elizabeth and David, Thank you for taking the time to write such a nice review. I'm glad to know you enjoyed two days in Tokyo with me. Yes, the fire ceremony in Fukagawa-fudoson is special. Getting a fire ceremony on your belongings seemed to work, and you drove a car safely. But what made me really happy was the time we finally met together this year. Take care, Michiko

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.

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 more than 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.

Shin N.
Welcome to Japan! I'm Shin. I have been an English Guide in Japan more than10 years. I can guide Tokyo, Kanagawa and almost all metropolitan sightseeing and walking spots. I was born in Kobe, grown up in Osaka, and studied in Kyoto, so not only Tokyo but I also have a good knowledge of Japanese historical cities. I love talking about Japanese food & culture, walking quiet narrow streets, drinking tasty Japanese whisky, Sumo, Rugby & Sports, and Japanese mountains. I climbed Mt. Fuji 18 times with foreign guests. We enjoyed the auspicious moments of sunrising from the summit. I would like to support you to make your stay in Japan memorable and precious one. It is grateful if you refer to my proposed tour schedule, in the case you have your own interests, I am happy to tailor the tour schedule responding your requests. Please feel free to contact me. I look forward to sharing wonderful time in Japan with you. Be my guest!
