“A bucket list task accomplished ”
The kimono experience was exactly what we had hoped to experience. Kana curated a wonderful photo session capturing our family in traditional kimono with the Sakura in bloom. Thank you Kana!

Thank you very much for your heartfelt review. I truly had a wonderful time with you and your family. Thank you for lovely gift from Hawaii. I really love Lion coffee and Macadamia chocolates! Your wife looked absolutely beautiful in her Kimono! I was very pleased that your daughters and son were so friendly. I truly hope you and your family will visit Japan again! All the best, Kana,

“Customized tour of Shibuya on10 October 2025”
Kana is a lovely warm person and a wonderful guide who adapted the tour to our interests, needs and limitations. She gave us great insights into Tokyo and the Japanese way of life and showed great interest in our own lives as she loves to meet people from all regions and walks of life. We certainly got the best out of Shibuya where Kana took us on a very interesting and very enjoyable tour which included good coffee and an excellent lunch experience. Kana made sure that we saw the Miyashita Park development in which we were professionally interested. Because we ran out of energy due to our age Kana kindly organized a taxi to take us back to our hotel in Ginza on a route where we could see a lot more of Tokyo than would otherwise have been possible. Thank you, Kana, for a memorable tour, we give you 5-stars! Raeburn and Hazel Chapman, Sydney Australia.

Dear Raeburn and Hazel, Thank you very much for your heartfelt review. It was truly my pleasure as well, as I had a wonderful and valuable time learning so much from both of you about architecture and about Australia. That coffee shop is one of my favorite places. Although it is in Shibuya, it is never too crowded, and both the coffee and the bread are crafted with great care. It is completely different from the noisy atmosphere of American chain cafés. I will let you know when I visit Sydney someday. I hope you both stay well and enjoy your time in Sydney. All the best, Kana,

“Kana made Tokyo feel like it our home and family”
Prior to arriving Kana made sure to ask and listen for what was important to us. We started with a coffee in Asakusa, got to know each other- walked the temple area where she shared the history. Then we shared an amazing tea ceremony, visited the local area around Tokyo, had authentic lunch together and could not have enjoyed the day any more. Kana is sweet and communicates very well as made us feel every bit a part of her Japan family. We would absolutely recommend her for travelling around Tokyo!

Being a former student and staff member of the University of Tokyo, I have a natural ability to communicate with people from all corners of the world. Regardless of whether you prefer to speak English, French, or Globish with me ! I have practiced Aikido, Iaido (Katana), and Kyudo (Bow) martial arts, and I have also worked on the restoration of Japanese armor. Therefore, I am well-versed in the art of war in ancient Japan. But my passion for history goes further, and during my guided tours, I will share various anecdotes that will bring ancient Japan to life for you ! I'm also a huge fan of old Japanese video games, especially RPGs, so if you want a true otaku experience, follow me to Nakano Broadway and Akihabara! If you're interested in arranging a tour that's tailored to your preferences, feel free to send me a message !

Koichiro Y.
Hello! I’m Koichiro. Please call me “Yamasan”. It derives from my family name and my friends call me so. I worked for a machinery company as a project manager and engineer for mechanical and electrical construction projects both domestic and overseas for over 35 years. I recall my first overseas project in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia when I was 26, and the second was in Singapore. I visited many countries for surveys, meetings, commissioning, project handing over, and so on. In 2014 at the age of 60, I decided to retire from the company and live the expected further 30 years of life with a new career and experiences. I, then, studied translation and guide interpretation. I passed the national examination for licensed guides (English) in 2015 and registered with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government in February 2016. Until now, I have been guiding many beautiful guests mainly to popular sightseeing spots such as Asakusa, Tsukiji, Omote-Sando, Meiji Jingu Shrine, and Tokyo Skytree, and also cultural experiences of Origami making, Furoshiki wrapping, and Sushi cooking. I am happy that I can freely arrange a customized tour together with you, or can propose my tours to you. I want to show you some parts of daily Tokyo life and introduce you to Bunkyo City which is located in the heart of Tokyo, just north of Chiyoda City where the Imperial Palace and Tokyo Station are. The city is Tokyo’s typical residential and academic area where I was born, grew up, and live a happy life now. Now, we can tour around the world but have not yet overcome COVID-19 completely. Recently, the number of passengers wearing masks on public transportation in Tokyo reduced to some 25% but we should mind about it still. Please carry your mask to wear it where or when necessary (December 2024, Yamasan).

I’m so excited to have a chance to show you around my favorite spots in Kanagawa prefecture. I was born in Kanagawa. I spent my whole school life, including university, here in Kanagawa. I worked as a high school English teacher here for more than 40 years. I love Kanagawa so much. We have many interesting tourist spots, like Hakone, Kamakura, Enoshima and Yokohama. I got my tour guide license in English in 2009. I am still an English teacher. To give an interesting and impressive lesson to young high school students, I’ve learnt and gathered many kinds of information. I also have a license to teach social studies, so I have a wide range of knowledge about Japanese culture and history. I’m sure to provide you an interesting tour.
