I came to Japan in 1998, intending to stay a few months, but enjoying Japan, I never left. I was intrigued by the history, culture, language, and food. And the fascination and excitement of exploring and learning new things about Japan still exists with me today. The variety and choices of things to do and places to go can be overwhelming. I can offer you suggestions and a unique perspective on Japan. I can share local knowledge about things often missed. Fluent in Japanese with a master's degree in Japanese Studies and living in Japan for over 20 years, I can be your guide.

“Tim showed us not only the tourists highlights but also parts of the daily life in Japan. Which was great. ”
Tim is a very enthusiastic guide and as he is a native speaker we appreciate to understand everything easy. He knows Tokyo like a local and it was like touring the city with a friend. Thank you Tim!

“Great Experience”
We adjusted the tour a bit, stayed in Shinjuku and used the whole time to discover everything there including three different bars in golden gai. Tim showed us arround and gave lots of historical and cultural insides witch made the evening a great experience.
