About Tour Guide Tim D.

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.

Great evening exploring the wonders of Shinjuku

As a solo traveller, taking guided tours one-on-one is not something I usually do, but I am sure glad I booked a Shinjuku evening with Tim. Not only did he take me to some great Izakayas and bars, but also explained everything along the way and helped me understand the local culture even better. On top of that, we had some great chill conversations. Fun, interesting, laid back - the tour and evening were just what I was looking for! Thanks Tim!

Thanks, Natalie! I had a great time too. It was fun hanging out, sharing good conversations, and showing you around Shinjuku. I’m glad the evening was just what you were looking for, and I hope to see you back in Tokyo someday!

Shinjuku area evening tour

Really enjoyed our tour with Tom D We went on a Monday evening (6pm - 9pm) and the areas visited were were fair which we enjoyed Tom is very knowledgeable and friendly He took us to a couple of his favorite spots for food and later a drink that were a little off the main tourist track. If you seek more lively spots just let home know and I’m sure he can accommodate

Thank you for joining the Shinjuku evening tour! I’m glad you enjoyed the backstreets and hidden spots. Hope to show you some livelier places next time you’re in Tokyo.

Unbelievable night

Tim was amazing. He walked us through Golden Gai and introduced us to all sorts of great places. We had some of the best drinks we had in Japan and definitely had some of the best laughs. Can’t recommend this tour and Tim enough.
