About Tour Guide Michiyo N.
¡Hola! Soy MICHI, una fotógrafa amante de los viajes que habla español. Nací en Saitama, al oeste de Tokio, y crecí rodeada de naturaleza. Desde pequeña, me han interesado los países extranjero y me encanta explorar lugares hermosos y ciudades emocionantes.
Estudié inglés en la universidad y me gradué en Literatura Inglesa. Trabajé en una empresa en el departamento de ventas internacionales utilizando inglés, pero decidí dejar el trabajo porque quería ver más del mundo. Viví un año en Seattle, Estados Unidos, donde descubrí el encanto del español hablado por personas de origen hispano. Me fascinaba el sonido de la lengua española.
Al regresar a Japón, obtuve la certificación como profesora de japonés y me mudé a México, un país donde siempre había soñado hablar español. Trabajé como profesora de japonés y, fascinada por la belleza del paisaje mexicano, comencé a tomar fotografías. Finalmente viví allí durante casi 10 años.
De nuevo en Japón, después de mi larga estancia en el extranjero, me di cuenta de la belleza de mi propio país y obtuve la certificación como guía turística para presentar Japón a los visitantes extranjeros. Mientras recorría todo Japón, tomé muchas fotos de paisajes (Algunas de las cuales exhibí en mi primera exposición en Tokio este verano, con gran éxito).
Hace 6 años, decidí emprender y convertir mi pasión en mi trabajo. Durante la pandemia, con el aumento de emprendedores, perfeccioné mis habilidades como fotógrafa y he tomado más de 500 retratos. Después de la pandemia, he estado guiando y fotografiando a viajeros de habla hispana en Japón.
Espero seguir capturando maravillosos recuerdos en Japón a través de mis fotografías. Estoy especialmente emocionada de compartir la belleza de Japón con visitantes de habla hispana. ¡Nos vemos en Japón!

““A Side of Tokyo You Can Only Feel with the Right Guide””
Exploring Tokyo with Michiyo was one of the highlights of our trip — not just because of what we saw, but because of how she made us feel the city. From the very beginning, there was a genuine warmth and energy that made the experience special. Walking through neighborhoods like Asakusa and Yanaka, visiting a beautiful shrine senso-ji and nezu shrine that were awesome, and discovering the rhythm of everyday Tokyo through her eyes made everything feel more authentic and alive. What we loved most is that this wasn’t just a tour — it felt like being shown the city by someone who truly understands it and enjoys sharing it. Every explanation was clear, thoughtful, and engaging, but always delivered in a way that felt natural and never overwhelming. And then there was the food — Michiyo took us to an exceptional ramen spot that we would have never found on our own. It ended up being one of the best meals of our entire trip. We left the tour not only with great memories, but with a real connection to Tokyo. Truly a beautiful experience, and one we highly recommend.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review. I really enjoyed walking with you through the backstreets of Tokyo, away from the tourist spots. I’m glad you got to experience Tokyo this way. Let’s meet again!! Muchas gracias por tu amable reseña. Me dio mucho gusto pasear con ustedes por las pequeñas calles de Tokio, lejos de los lugares turísticos. Me alegro de que hayan podido descubrir Tokio de esta manera. ¡Nos vemos pronto!

““Stunning cherry blossoms and unforgettable photos with Michiyo””
Michiyo was an absolutely wonderful guide and made our experience truly special. She took us to Shinjuku Gyoen, which was incredibly beautiful, and thanks to her, we were able to enjoy the park in the best possible way. She knew exactly where to go and brought us to the most stunning spots, especially for viewing the cherry blossoms. What really made the difference was how attentive and warm she was throughout the tour. She also recommended the best park to see the sakura at its peak, which turned out to be an unforgettable experience. On top of that, Michiyo took amazing photos of us using her professional camera — the pictures came out absolutely stunning and are now some of our favorite memories from the trip. Highly recommend her if you’re looking for a thoughtful, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind guide in Tokyo!

Being a former student and staff member of the University of Tokyo, I have a natural ability to communicate with people from all corners of the world. Regardless of whether you prefer to speak English, French, or Globish with me ! I have practiced Aikido, Iaido (Katana), and Kyudo (Bow) martial arts, and I have also worked on the restoration of Japanese armor. Therefore, I am well-versed in the art of war in ancient Japan. But my passion for history goes further, and during my guided tours, I will share various anecdotes that will bring ancient Japan to life for you ! I'm also a huge fan of old Japanese video games, especially RPGs, so if you want a true otaku experience, follow me to Nakano Broadway and Akihabara! If you're interested in arranging a tour that's tailored to your preferences, feel free to send me a message !

Koichiro Y.
Hello! I’m Koichiro. Please call me “Yamasan”. It derives from my family name and my friends call me so. I worked for a machinery company as a project manager and engineer for mechanical and electrical construction projects both domestic and overseas for over 35 years. I recall my first overseas project in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia when I was 26, and the second was in Singapore. I visited many countries for surveys, meetings, commissioning, project handing over, and so on. In 2014 at the age of 60, I decided to retire from the company and live the expected further 30 years of life with a new career and experiences. I, then, studied translation and guide interpretation. I passed the national examination for licensed guides (English) in 2015 and registered with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government in February 2016. Until now, I have been guiding many beautiful guests mainly to popular sightseeing spots such as Asakusa, Tsukiji, Omote-Sando, Meiji Jingu Shrine, and Tokyo Skytree, and also cultural experiences of Origami making, Furoshiki wrapping, and Sushi cooking. I am happy that I can freely arrange a customized tour together with you, or can propose my tours to you. I want to show you some parts of daily Tokyo life and introduce you to Bunkyo City which is located in the heart of Tokyo, just north of Chiyoda City where the Imperial Palace and Tokyo Station are. The city is Tokyo’s typical residential and academic area where I was born, grew up, and live a happy life now. Now, we can tour around the world but have not yet overcome COVID-19 completely. Recently, the number of passengers wearing masks on public transportation in Tokyo reduced to some 25% but we should mind about it still. Please carry your mask to wear it where or when necessary (December 2024, Yamasan).

Grant A.
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.
