About Tour Guide Takuma A.
Hi it’s Tak (just like “Tak talks”), and I’m a Tokyo city guide as well as a nature guide in Hinohara village aka Hinohara-mura in Tokyo
I lived in the U.S. for 10 years and graduated from University of Oregon. Taking people from different backgrounds around the metropolitan area and national park in Tokyo are some of the most fun things in my life, and yes Hinohara village is a part of the national park in Tokyo, an hour and a half from the central city of Tokyo!
I sometimes take my customers to places that are outside Tokyo, such as Nikko-Toshogu, Odawara, Atami, Hakone, etc.
I would love to share the historical context and how it related to the culture and our current lives with you all :)
Come to have a blast time with me by feeling seasonal peaks of Tokyo, culture, and warm hearted people in Japan!!!

“Full Day Tour in Tokyo”
Tak was a wonderful guide who showed us an incredible day in Tokyo. We began at our hotel at 7AM, and were able to hit all of the stops on our itinerary for that day. We covered a lot of ground, and Tak's knowledge and insights of all the different sites and locations made it a very memorable day. He was an absolute joy to spend the day with, and I would highly recommend Tak as a tour guide. 10/10 experience!

“Fun Tour With Tak ”
Takuma (Tak) was a lovely, funny, attentive tour guide…and he’s absolutely fluent in English which was important to us. His pre-trip communication was prompt and clear. We exchanged quite a few messages as we wanted to customize the tour - he was flexible and advised us as to what was feasible, given our time constraints. And he was able to pivot quite well when we ended up spending too much time shopping (our fault).

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.

Before becoming a full-time guide, I worked as an IT engineer, hotel receptionist, and manager of a maid cafe—experiences that help me connect naturally with travelers from many different backgrounds. 【Interests】 -Maid cafes and pop idols -Manga and anime -Art and Architecture -Hot springs and public baths -Socializing and exploring great food 【Certifications】 -National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter -General Certified Travel Supervisor -Domestic Certified Travel Supervisor I am based in Tokyo but will happily arrange a tour only for your group, in area Kawagoe, Saitama, Hakone, Kamakura, Narita, Nikko, Shizuoka, Yokohama, Kanagawa, Chiba, Tochigi, Kyoto.
