“Kana is Ichiban!”
Traveling outside the United States was something I had always dreamed of, especially visiting Japan, but as someone who is visually impaired, I was understandably nervous. All of that changed thanks to Kana. From the moment we met, she went above and beyond to ensure I had an incredible experience. She was incredibly thoughtful, pointing out details I might have missed and helping me truly connect with the sights, sounds, and atmosphere of Japan in ways I never imagined possible. Beyond being an amazing guide, Kana was also a joy to spend time with—our conversations were fun, meaningful, and made the trip even more memorable. Her kindness, attentiveness, and genuine passion for what she does made all the difference. I honestly can’t wait to return to Japan—and when I do, I’ll be booking Kana again without hesitation. I can’t recommend her highly enough. She’s not just a guide; she’s the BEST guide.

Hi, Jason, Thank you for taking your time to writing the review. I am really happy to meet you too. From the moment we met, I’m sure that you are gentle and polite. I am looking forward to seeing you again as your friend. Keep in touch ! Kana,

“Amazing introduction to Tokyo with Kana”
My fourteeen year old son and I had the pleasure of spending the day with Kana exploring Shibuya, Asakusa and Harajuku. Kana was so considerate of our needs, particularly of my son, taking him to places where he could purchase Pokémon cards and enjoy some teen culture and food. Kana also helped to introduce us to the rail system which was invaluable in the following days in Tokyo. Kana is a wonderfully warm and considerate guide. My son and I really enjoyed the day with her speaking about life in Tokyo and getting a better understanding of the Japanese culture. I would highly recommend Kana as a guide - we thoroughly enjoyed our time with her.

“Great first day in Tokyo”
We really enjoyed touring Tokyo on our first day with Kana. We didn’t have to worry about anything. She knew exactly where to take us, so we had no struggles with directions or where to go. She was very sweet and thoughtful and being with her for the day was a pleasure.

Hello! I'm Kent. I'm a master of Tea Ceremony and Ikebana, as well as a software developer. With over 10 years of experience, I've assisted with tea ceremonies at Zen temples and participated in Ikebana exhibitions for tourists, gaining deep insights into Japanese culture. While I studied these cultural traditions privately, I majored in engineering and earned a degree in the field from Kyoto University. My days in Kyoto has made me familier with local lives and cultural activities. After graduating, I worked in robot software development, collaborating remotely with colleagues in Michigan and engaging with clients and sales teams in Germany, India, and China. Their strong interest in Japanese culture and my background deepened my appreciation for Japan’s heritage, inspiring me to guide tours and practice cultural activities. I currently live in Shinjuku, Tokyo, with my wife, enjoying life here. I’ve joined a robot startup and am working flexibly while continuing to guide tours. My aim is to share the rich history and culture of Japan through my tours and offer creative, immersive experiences.

Hello to all of you on the screen. My name is Toru Ishii and I am a licensed national interpretater of English language. I have been guiding scrolling around a Japanese landscape garden designated as Scenic Beauty in Yokohama city for the last 2 years. I would like to explain about time-honored Japanese architectures, transfered from Kyoto and Kamakura, designated as Important Cultural Property. I am also interested in Tea Ceremony and in the ritual of serving powdered green tea in the garden. Yokohama opened its door to overseas comers in 1859 after the Meiji Restoration. The port of Yokohama shared about 70 percents of overseas trading in Japan. The main export was raw silk thread. Now the beautiful city of Yokohama has become historically exotic and ranks as one of the most fascinating internationally trading city that attracts many foreign tourists. I am always happy to guide tourists around this historical region and Introduce the delights of Japanese cuisine and Chinese cuisine in China town according to the visitor's requests. Stepping further out from Yokohama, I would recommend Kamakura city, a 20 minutes train ride on the JR Line, where the visitor can feel the fresh ocean breeze. The nearby Zen Buddhist temples and the Great Buddha are main attractions and souvenir shopping adds the excitement. Kamakura was established by the first Shogun, Yoritomo Minamoto, in 1192 and the shogunate government lasted till 1333. He established his Samurai government which ruled over Japan. After arriving at Kamakura or Kita-Kamakura station, the visitor can easily walk around the city. This city is easily accesable by train from Yokohama (less than 30 minutes) and Tokyo (less than 1 hour). As for my background, I have experienced staying in Louisiana in the United States and studied at the university there. Now I am 60 years old and I am still working for a company, while at the same time, I work as a volunteer guide a few days a month in Yokohama city. I like traveling in foreign countries, and have experienced short time staying at several European countries, North America as well as some Asian countries. Last January, I travelled San Fransico and Merced city, California. I would be delighted to exchange cultural experience with many visitors from all over the world. If you happen to be visiting my country and if you are interested , please feel free to contact me. Toru Ishii

Hi, I'm Ritsuko, a national licensed tour guide. I was born and raised in Tokyo. As Tokyo is a city of many faces, I hope you will discover your hidden gems during the tour. I love to wander around the shops and places downtown and one of my hobbies is to find daily-use products made in Japan. So I can select unique souvenirs for you within your budget! I am football-mad and have been to every FIFA World Cup except one tournament since 1998. I also love to go island hopping in Asia. That's why I have been to over 30 countries. Wherever I went, people were so kind to me. So, it's my turn. I will do my best to make your tour a memorable one! Hope to hear from you soon.
