About Tour Guide Dan C.
Hi I’m a friendly Australian living in Japan for 20 years. I work as a Kindergarten teacher here so I design my tours to be very Family Friendly: stress free for the parents and exciting for the kids. I particularly love to make little packs filled with goodies for the kids so they can experience what Japanese kids do. I want my guests to experience a real Japan and I love teaching Japanese to the little ones. * Children with special needs and/or mobility issues are especially welcomed. I can make accommodations and plan a tour based on their unique needs.
Tours
Learn Japanese while touring Shinjuku, Harajuku and Shibuya
Learn and use Japanese while seeing Shinjuku National Gardens, Tokyo Metropolitan Building, Harajuku’s Famous Takeshita Dori, Meji Jingu and Yoyogi Park. This is a great tour for kids as we will visit places where they can use Japanese that our guide will teach them while the adults can enjoy the above mentioned famous Tokyo sights. We will also make a “kid’s pack” with Japanese candies and treats and also a postcard with the Japanese phrases that we will use.
Mt. Takao tour (great for kids)-
Have the kids occupied while the adults enjoy the beautiful nature, attractions and temples of Mt. Takao. We offer not only an all inclusive guided tour in English for the adults but also a "treasure map" style game for children to enjoy with prizes that include Japanese coloring books, snacks, toys and candy. We will even teach them Japanese! We will see the Takao Museum, ride the cable car, visit the monkey and flower park, learn about the temples and on a clear day see Mt. Fuii at the summit.
Tokyo With Kids
A 4 hour custom tour of Tokyo for you and your family. We can see all the famous sights including Shibuya Crossing, Hachiko dog., Harajuku’s Famous Takeshita Dori, Meiji Jingu and also do things that Japanese people themselves love to do in Tokyo. This tour is especially designed for families with children. Our focus is to spoil your kids while the parents can enjoy the tour!

“Dan the man! Awesome tour guide!”
Dan was an incredible guide! He was everything we needed and wanted for our tour. We were 2 Aussie families travelling together… 4 adults and 3 children. Dan was put on this planet to teach. He is a wealth of knowledge and his interactions with the children and keeping them entertained throughout the tour was above and beyond. Dans the best communicator I’ve dealt with in a long time. His pre-trip communication and preparation was second to none. He really put so much extra effort and energy into making us feel welcome and introducing us to as many Japanese things as possible from food to experiences. He made sure the itinerary was right for us. Dan is a typical Australian at heart, open, friendly and I’ll give it to him…. Funny too! Thank-you so much for a wonderful day Dan! We will be seeing you again sometime in the future. Book Dan if you want an easy going tour guide with excellent Japanese and English… you will not regret it. Also if you have children in your tour BOOK DAN!!!!
“Awesome guide”
Dan was fantastic! He communicated often with me to customize a great night through Tokyo. He is knowledgeable and friendly- he even brought a bag of treats for our son of popular Japanese snacks. I wish we had booked more time with Dan!

“Fantastic day at Mt Takao!”
My husband, kids (13 & 11) and I spent a day at Mt Takao with Dan and had such a great time! Dan has incredible energy, such a positive vibe, and he’s extremely knowledgeable of the area. We had a hard time finding our way to our meeting spot and he video called us and walked us through the train station so we were sure we were getting on the right train. He had activities for the kids and was great at explaining things on their level so they were engaged. I wish we were staying in Tokyo longer so we found hang out with Dan again!
