About Tour Guide Mai N.
Hi,
I have taken over 100 tourists on in-depth local explorations of Tokyo. My specialties are gourmet food and seasonal events. Temples and shrines are great, but why don't you come and enjoy the scenery and cuisine that Japanese people are crazy about these days?
Besides being a guide,I also study architecture as a hobby over the past several years.
That’s why I registered on this platform to create an original tour featuring architecture and latest trends for local.
Historical Japanese structures such as World Heritage is amazing, but
Japan has many wonderful contemporary structures like shrines and museums, which is designed by various architects.I hope to show them with my tour.
I was born in Hokkaido and it's been about 10 years since I moved to Tokyo area.
I have always had a strong admiration for Tokyo, and have been exploring various attractive spots around the city.
That's why I'll not only guide you to the main tourist spots ,but also arrange unique experience according to your preference :)
=====
Traveling gives me a chance to get to know how other people live, their culture, and discovering new places . This is why I work as a guide, my goal is to give guests a real "local experience"--like what I've experienced on my travels so far.
Don't worry if you are not good at English.
Unfortunately, I can only speak Japanese and English, but I will do my best to make your tour as satisfying as possible using gestures and various other ideas.
Hope to see you soon!
Important
Basically the tour will be ended by 7:00pm.
Night tours are not available.

Shopping in Ginza for Tokyoite use in their daily lives & Handmade chopsticks experience
The biggest advantage of having me as your private guide is that I can simulate life as if I were a local. For example, we can show you the tools and fashions that Japanese people use in their daily lives. You will be captivated by the delicate and hospitable lineup of Japanese products. And don't worry about getting lost in the complex train lines; you can explore Tokyo like a local, using the subway and other means.

Exploring the great works of Kengo Kuma
Here's a perfect tour for those who want to explore Japanese hot architectures in one day! All three buildings visited on this tour are designed by Kengo Kuma. Kengo Kuma is a leading architect in Japan who is known for working on many Japanese-style buildings using plenty of wood. We'll start from National Stadium, the 2020 Tokyo Olympic was held, and then move to Kagurazaka to visit the most fashionable shrine in Japan :)

Yanaka and Asakusa backstreet Walking Tour and Visit Temple & Shrine
Let's get started your exploration with the must-view Tokyo highlights! You can stroll a typical sightseeing spot and local street area altogether. We mostly use public transport. Take a taxi from Asakusa to Yanaka to save time. Yanaka has no landmarks, so even locals get lost. Don't worry, that's why I'm here!

“Excellent guide around Tokyo and accommodating ”
Mai was very knowledgeable and helped us on our first full day in Japan. After a 14 hour flight and 12 hour difference we wanted the help of a local to direct us around. Her recommendations were excellent and would highly recommend booking with her, including the komodo rental and photo shoot suggestions. Even after we accidentally left an item at the rental shop she was quick to help us get the item back. Navigating the train stations can be a challenge, especially with jet lag, but again having Mai as our guide proved wonderful. Thank you again for a wonderful walk around this fascinating city. Best!

“Birthday celebration tour at Tokyo Team Lab Planets”
I came to Japan from Lausanne, Switzerland solo to celebrate my birthday. Two weeks ago, I have decided to visited Tokyo Team Lab Planets, so I contacted Mai. Mai, promptly answered my email, and was very helpful and willing to take me to Team Lab Planets. Mai, was very professional, and she arrived on time cautiously asked me everything I want during my Team Lab visit. Mai, was very friendly, and she took various beautiful pictures of me! After, we finished our tour she wanted to take me to Shibuya to get Hachiko souvenirs items. Mai, is a wonderful person, and I am so grateful and blessed to have spent my birthday with her. I highly recommend Mai touring services, and I must say that you will be honored to be have Mai showing Tokyo to you. Thank you very much Mai for the amazing time at Tokyo Team Lab Planets…

“Shinjuku n Shibuya tour”
Mai San our guide was very nice and accommodating. She took us to where we wanted to go and to places where she thought we would enjoy. We were able to experience riding the subway. Our lunch and afternoon snacks were very good too.

Yacco M.
Hi, I’m Yacco, a friendly and passionate local guide. I was born and raised in Shizuoka and have lived in Yokohama for over 30 years. For the past several years, I’ve been guiding international visitors in Kamakura, Yokohama, and Tokyo as a volunteer, helping them discover the rich history, culture, and hidden charm of these unique cities. Traveling abroad creates once-in-a-lifetime memories, and I would love for you to fully experience the beauty and spirit of my favorite towns. I not only enjoy showing historical and modern landmarks, but also love introducing quiet backstreets, seasonal flowers, cozy cafés, and delicious local food that reflect the charm of everyday life. What I enjoy most is comparing Japanese traditions with my guests’ own cultures and histories—these conversations often lead to deep and inspiring exchanges. As your guide, I’m happy to customize tours based on your interests, whether you’re seeking unique experiences, historical insights, or local flavors. Let’s walk, talk, and create unforgettable memories together!

Hallo alle meine Gäste! Vielen lieben Dank, dass Sie meine Profilseite besuchen! Ich heiße Ayami. Ich bin in Osaka geboren, aber in Yokohama aufgewachsen. Ich habe in Tokyo studiert, deswegen kenne ich mich gut auch in dieser Gegend aus. An der Uni habe ich Germanistik studiert. Mein erstes Mal in Deutschland war 2012, als ich Studentin war, und damals habe ich einen Monat in München einen Deutschkurs gemacht. Da habe ich viel erlebt und erfahrt und war total begeistert für die deutsche Kultur, Sitten, einfach alles, natürlich Leute auch :) Nach dem Studium bin ich nach Deutschland (München und Augsburg) geflogen, um richtig Deutsch zu lernen. In den Schulzeiten habe ich viele Erfahrungen in der Gastronomie gesammelt. In Deutschland habe ich als Kellnerin in einem japanischen Restaurant und Japanischlehrerin gearbeitet. Aktuell bin ich auch private Japanischlehrerin (ich habe auch einen Vertrag mit der amerikanischen Marine) und gelegentlich Reiseführerin. Mein Hobbies sind Reisen, Lesen, Kochen, etwas Süßes backen usw. Ich würde Sie sehr gerne Tokyo bzw Yokohama oder Kamakura und Yokosuka zeigen :)

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.
