Amazing experience

Couldn’t put into words how much of a great time we had! Michiko showed us around Shinjuku, all the shopping centers, had great street food, and ended our tour with some bar hopping over at Golden Gai. We shared some great stories & great laughs together. Amazing experience!

Hi Angel and Edwin, Thank you for sending me an excellent review with photos. I'm glad to know you enjoyed the time with me in Shinjuku. Did you visit another bar at Golden Gai and stay until midnight? I hope you enjoy the rest of your time in Tokyo and Thailand! If you have a chance to come back, please get in touch with me again. Michiko

Wonderful 2 days in Tokyo

Three of us had 2 days to spend touring Tokyo. We had the honor and delight of being shown Tokyo highlights by Michiko. She was extremely knowledgeable, very patient, and accommodating. We appreciated that she was willing and able to adjust our schedule according to our whims. Michiko knows the city well and provided us with excellent instructions on using the train system. When we had special requests for shopping needs she guided us to quality shops without hesitation. We highly recommend Michiko as a guide and will hire her when we return to Japan.

Lovely day with Michiko

We enjoyed a wonderful day tour with Michiko. She tailored an itinerary for us and then happily rearranged the tour on-the-fly as things caught our eye! She was also happy to train us in the subleties of the Tokyo Metro - which helped us out for the rest of our visit. Highly recommended.

Born and bred in Tokyo I am still living in the suburbs of Tokyo. I spent several years in the U.S. and the UK and wanted to show international visitors around Japan in return for the hospitality I had received in foreign countries. After coming back from the UK, I obtained the qualification of the National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter. I can guide guests to every corner of Tokyo including areas off the beaten track. As a history fan I can tell you a historical episode behind the scenes. From a local perspective I can explain how we Japanese are getting along. Since I have science and technology backgrounds, I can give you a tour of scientific or technical things as well..

I’ve called Japan home for seven years, embracing everything from Tokyo’s vibrant urban energy to the tranquillity of the countryside. Before becoming a guide, I explored Tokyo like a curious long-term traveller, uncovering unusual temples, quirky landmarks, hidden backstreets, local live music venues, rural mountain villages, and one-of-a-kind cultural gems. My passion lies in crafting immersive journeys that dive deep into Japan’s heart, sparking a sense of wonder and escape that makes travellers feel worlds away from home. I’m excited to guide you through the Tokyo labyrinth. This city is endlessly fascinating—so layered and dynamic that even with a lifetime here, you’d only scratch the surface. I’ll show you how to navigate it like a local, as mastering the transport system isn’t as tricky as it seems, and I’ll help you gain the confidence to explore Tokyo on your own while we focus on the city’s hidden treasures. Together, we can visit parts of Tokyo most travellers overlook—the nostalgic charm of the Shitamachi, the hustle of salaryman districts, the neon-lit buzz of cyber Tokyo, and tranquil local power spots. Let’s discover the city’s hidden depths and create memories that will last a lifetime!
