About Tour Guide Grant A.
My name is Grant I lived more than 10 years in Japan. I graduated University and translation school in Tokyo. I am fluent in Japanese. I have a degree in Asian studies and have expert-level knowledge of Japanese culture and history. I have memorized the JR rail system across all of Japan, I use the same train timetable calculators as the station staff, and I have experience using bullet train passes that are exclusive to foreign visitors. I can optimally navigate the Tokyo underground and maximize value from a Tokyo metro pass and also understand Tokyo above ground which will allow for seamless transitions between different metro stations and landmarks with minimal backtracking.
My tour fee is
20,000yen for 1-6hours (135.28USD)
30,000yen for 7-9hours (202.93USD)
40,000yen for 9-12hours (270.57USD)
I have half-day tours listed at 20,000 yen (135.28USD) at the moment but you can combine them or do a custom tour for roughly up to 9 hours for 30,000 yen (202.93USD). The time transiting to and from your hotel for pick up or drop off within Tokyo 23wards does not count towards an increase in the price.

Grant A. Japan Tour Reviews
“Grant provides excellent guidance ”
We had the pleasure of having Grant introduce myself, wife, and two friends, to Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan. Grant's in-depth knowledge of both Japanese landmarks, culture, and food, is remarkable. I highly recommend hiring Grant as your tour guide to Tokyo. Grant know Shinjuku well, and will explain all aspects, including present day highlights and he will dig deep to Japan's historical past that aids a new traveller with a keen understanding that will make the most of your vacation to Japan. Schedule him early on if possible. If not, schedule him in anyway. You will be thankful you did.
“Cherry Blossom Tour!”
We had an exceptional tour experience with Grant, an outstanding 5-star guide!! Every moment spent walking, talking, sharing stories with his expert knowledge was truly enjoyable. Grant's generosity and thoughtfulness in finding the perfect photo spots made our experience even more wonderful!!
“Great start to our trip”
We asked for a few hour tour with Grant to see Cherry Blossoms around the city. Grant was incredibly nice and thoughtful throughout our tour. With two small kids, he was adjustable with the tour and provided insight and history along the way that made it fun to learn. He was very flexible when we needed to stop and eat or rest! Highly recommend Grant as he knows the area well, makes great recommendations for food and for other sites to see while on our trip. He also showed and recommended places our kids wanted to go once he knew what they were into. Great tour and great start to our trip!!!
