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!

“We had a blast!”
Dan was a great tour guide - fun, friendly, and had planned a solid itinerary for our day. He gave our three kids individualized bags of goodies and Japanese phrases. It was very thoughtful that Dan took the time to find out their names and interests ahead of our tour and then incorporated it into our day. We highly recommend him and if we ever go back to Japan we hope to book his services again. Mahalo Dan!

“Fabulous for adults too!”
I saw Dan's great reviews and although some of them were for tours doing some exciting things with children, I booked a custom tour for my grown up family (myself, my wife, son aged 27, daughter aged 22). It was fantastic! We rode the bullet train, visited several great places in Tokyo, and ate what Dan confidently said were the best ramen in Tokyo (and they were damn good), and dinner in a backstreet place that tourists aren't usually allowed in. All in all a brilliant day with a fun, engaging and thoroughly great bloke and guide. I thoroughly recommend a day with Dan - take a tour and it will make your holiday even better!

“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!!!!
