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.

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!
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.

“We loved Dan- Highly recommend!”
We had so much fun with Dan! He's fantastic with children and was the perfect guide for our first day in Tokyo. Dan helped us with everything from getting Suica cards and navigating the Metro, to how to properly bow at temples. He's awesome, fun to be with and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

“Learn Japanese while touring Shinjuku, Harajuku and Shibuya”
Dan was wonderful with our 5 and 9 year old children. He asked about their personalities prior to the tour and customized his tour to fit them. He was full of information for the adults and at the same time entertaining for the children.
