Today
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
Half-Day Tour: 20,000yen for 1-5hours
Full-Day Tour: 40,000yen for 5-10hours
The time transiting to and from your hotel for pick up or drop off within Tokyo 23wards does not count towards the time. I am also able to guide historical sites and cities such as Kyoto, Kanazawa, Nikko, and Kamakura on request if you pay my rail fare.
“Deep knowledge”
Grant is very knowledgeable of his tour materials and very friendly and kind. He speaks a bit softly, and if you use his services in large groups, you may need to take charge of not losing anyone as he walks fast.
“Great private tour with a local”
The Ginza line tour was a great introduction to the Tokyo metro line. In our first day in Tokyo, Grant showed us around Tokyo using Ginza subway line.He adjusted the itinerary per our request. He showed us how his favorite food spots and stores. We visited many attractions including shopping in Shibuya. If you want a tour that felt like having a friend showing you around town, this is it!
