About Tour Guide Ayaka K.
If you're looking for a local guide who'll help meet all your Tokyo dreams come true, you're looking at the right place! Tell me all the things you want to experience, eat, buy, etc. and I'll create a special itinerary just for you! Also, we'll be using public trains and busses, so you can experience how locals live their everyday life in Tokyo :)
I've lived abroad (Australia and Belgium) for half of my life, but after coming back to Japan I realized how beautiful my country was, and started my career as a local guide.
With me, you'll be able to visit restaurants and shops that only locals know, experience public transportation just like a local (trust me, they're super complicating...!), and discover new facts about Tokyo which aren't written in guide books!
Your wish can be super vague, such as; "I want to experience Pokemon related facilities" or "I want to eat Japanese food that's not usually seen in typical guide books"
Also, I don't want you to miss out any fun or waste time by getting in trouble. Here are some troubles I hear often when people visit Japan.
- A lot of Japanese people are super kind but often times they can't speak English at all
- The trains and busses are extremely confusing
- There are too many people in stations, shops, etc
- It's super easy to get lost
- Some shops need reservations but they don't make that clear
- The English menu is hard to understand
With me, you won't encounter any of these troubles, and be able to travel safely ;)
Let me make your Tokyo trip a super memorial day in your life!

Exploring New and Traditional Culture -in Akihabara-
“Tokyo Trip With Ayaka”
Four great days with Ayaka! She was kind enough to meet me at the hotel and also end the tour there throughout all four days. She seamlessly guided me through all our planned destinations and readily accommodated my needs, especially when I needed a break. Being an introverted person with limited social energy, I highly appreciated Ayaka's assistance with basics such as the payment system, translations, finding a nice nearby place to eat, and other things that can weigh you down. I was happy to experience beautiful places such as the Nezu Shrine, as well as taking cool photos at the Unicorn Gundam Statue, and dining at the Final Fantasy Eorzea Cafe. She's a great guide and I highly recommend her!
“So much fun! ”
Ayaka met us at our hotel perfectly on time and was immediately warm and engaging. Nothing was too difficult for her and we saw way more of Tokyo than we imagined we could see in one day. She was very knowledgeable about the cultural sites as well as some of the more obscure things we wanted to see, like the pigment store, skate park and an impromptu look at the Fender flagship store. She was patient and her English is exceptional. We had a really delicious lunch too and stopped for matcha when we needed a break. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough and will definitely ask her to guide us again when we come back. Yay Ayaka! Thank you so much.
“Best tour guide :)”
We had an amazing time with you Ayaka! Very helpful and kind :). She even helped us find a sweater that we lost on the train. Thank you so much :) if i could rate 100 stars i would! :)
