About Tour Guide Uemitsu K.
Having been lived in Tokyo area for more than 40 years, I am competent to plan and guide a tailored Tokyo city. The itinerary will be selected from major commercial districts (such as Shibuya, Shinjuku, Akihabara, Ginza) , popular sightseeing places (Imperial palace, Asakusa, etc.) as well as famous architectures and building (Tokyo tower, Tokyo Sky Tree, Tokyo Government Building, etc.) .
In addition to watching sports events and movies, I like city walking in modern Tokyo, especially Shibuya, Ginza, and Roppongi, etc. Learning histories is also one of my favorite hobbies, which made me become a volunteer guide in the Edo Tokyo Museum since 2016.
My tour will focus on the interests of foreign guests through advanced negotiation and communication in order to finalize the spots and itinerary.

“Amazing day”
We had a really great day with Kageyama. The communication before the trip was excellent. He showed us some last minute cherry blossoms which we asked for. Including great tips and spots on how to get better pics with my new mobile phone ;) We asked him to show us some places besides the typical tourist spots. We were able to see some aeras and food places that you usually won't get the chance to see if you aren't familiar with the city. F.e. bought some amazing warabi mochi & sweets in a tiny little local shop. He also gave us tips for places that we could explore on our own and restaurant to enjoy the real deal Kobe/Wagyu. The tour ended at a bar of a hotel where he guided us to the reception so we we could enjoy an amazing view of Tokyo from the 45th floor while drinking a cup of coffee. Would have never found that spot for sure without his help. Highly recommend a tour with Kageyama. Thank you for making this day an absolute blast for us Kage-San!

“Great day exploring Japanese modern culture”
Uemitsu did a wonderful job creating an itinerary that fit our daughter’s interests. He explained well the different areas as we walked the streets of Tokyo in Harajuku, Shibuya, and Odaiba. He allowed time for shopping and exploring. He even called a location we had left due to long lines and found they had opening, so we headed back. We truly appreciated the time and effort put in to making this a great experience for our daughter’s learning more about Japan modern culture.

Hello, my dear would-be guests! My name is Hiroko. People call me Hiro for short. I am a government licensed guide. Here I am to make your time in a tour full of fun and provide you an unforgettable travel experience of your life. I grew up and live in Yokohama that is adjacent to Tokyo. After many years of several English-related job experiences, such as translating, teaching, desk work, etc., I finally found this job, tour guide, which is a perfect fit for my true nature. I love meeting people, having fun with people, and am always looking for something interesting wanting to share it with people. How about spending a part of your precious time here in Japan with this cheerful, friendly and well-informed tour guide, Hiro?

Hello, I'm Hiroshi. I am a National Government Licensed Tour Guide Interpreter in English. I have got a master's degree in Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in the U.S. I have been living in a city of Fujisawa, which is the city next to Kamakura, for more than 20 years, and also lived in Kamakura for more than 10 years. So far, I have visited almost all the temples and shrines in Kamakura. So I am sure I can offer you a pleasant trip to the historical city, Kamakura. In addition to Kamakura, I can also guide Tokyo, Yokohama, Hakone, Nikko, etc. because I have visited many places in Kanto area. For example, in Tokyo I can show you around the sightseeing spots such as Asakusa, Tsukiji, Imperial Palace, Meiji Shrine, Tokyo Skytree, etc. I like baseball and used to play baseball, but now enjoy watching professional baseball games. And I like watching Rakugo, Japanese traditional story-telling performance. Of course, I also like travelling very much, and am interested in Japanese culture and history. So I would like to show you Japanese tradition and culture. Let’s enjoy a trip in Japan together. I am looking forward to seeing you soon.

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!
