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.

“Amazing nightlife in Tokyo with Tim”
We were a group of 6 friends who wanted to discover the nightlife side of Tokyo. We booked a private tour with Tim and he didn’t disappoint ! Tim was very knowledgable and was able to explain to us the local culture and traditions in perfect English-Canadian. We had so many questions for him and he answered them in a very informative way through his Japanese lenses having lived there for over 25 years and helped us understand how it is different or similar from his westerner background. Don’t feel shy to ask him anything, even the weirdest questions, he will answer you with a straight face! We stopped at 3 places and the last stop was a great bar with so much personality. We would definitely recommend Tim to our friends and family.

“Amazing Night out”
Tim was great, he took to his favorite food/drink locations. Gave me a lot of great advice, helped translate Japanese for me when ordering and talking with locals. I would highly recommend if you want to explore but unsure what to do or go.
