About Tour Guide Ryoko E.
Hi, How are you? I am Ryoko, a tour guide in Japan.
Based on my experience working for an international company over 8years, I have learned English and have a dialogue with people from various cultures. I offer ideas for visiting spots together, eating, learning, and experiencing Japanese life in Isehara, as well as in the surrounding Kanagawa, and Tokyo area, which are difficult for foreign tourists to enter alone.
I live in Isehara city, Kanagawa prefecture. I am a Area Licensed Guide Interpreter; a local area guide. Oyama has over 2000 years long moutain worship history. You can enjoy the combination of lush vibrant green forest and calm sacred temples and shine.
If you are interested in some places which are not so famous for tourists, don't hesitate to make contact me! I can make a tour plan for you.
My interest includes...
•Japanese History
•Religions
•cooking, restaurants &cafe
•culture ,musems, art, literature and so on
Important
About weekdays, I need to organize my schedule beforehand.

Mitaka Literature Tour where famous japanese writer Dazai lived
Do you know Osamu Dazai? He was one of famous Japanese writers, known for works such as "No Longer Human"(Ningen Shikkaku) or "The setting sun"(Syayou). Almost japanese students once have read his work in the textbook. Let's walk around Mitaka where he lived / died and talk about literature!
Tokyo downtown history&culture Half Day Tour
Enjoy the exotic Buddhist ceremony and townscope of Edo town. Located in the center of Tokyo, Monzen-Nakacho area is where you can learn Edo vibes and also see small local shops.
Mt. Oyama Half day tour at Isehara
Just 1 hour train ride will bring you from modern urban sight to local cozy atomosphere. Mt. Oyama was well-known tourist spot in the history because of the symbol of sacred place and rich nature. Oyama dera temple and Afuri Shrine are the highlight of the tour and let you feel the history of the syncretism of Shinto and Buddhism. If you want to go to local restaurants, I will suggest some good places around Isehara station.

“The amazing real Japan from start to end !!!”
This is the best of any day tours I’ve done and with one of the best guide Ryoko. As she is kind and very informative, her love for Japan was on show today and boy did it not disappoint. Amazing time checking out the local attractions away from the busy mainstream social media of Japan. I cannot thank you enough for the honour of the tour and it was a privilege in every sense. I look forward to future travels and will be in contact again without hesitation. Amazing person, amazing day, you’re too kind and generous to have the day planned for me. It was such a pleasure, 心から感謝します.

Hi Doy, thank you for everything! Because of you I found my hometown‘s nice aspects. You are so kind and polite, I enjoyed a lots talking with you about every single topic. Your perspective and ideas were fascinating for me. I’m looking forward to seeing you again!
“OUTSTANDING EXPERIENCE !!!”
Ryoko set up a fully customized historical tour in Chiba for me, including the National Museum of Japanese History, which has very few displays in English. She was well prepared, we had some great conversation, and it was a delight to spend the afternoon being guided by her. I would highly recommended her to anyone looking for a top-tier day tour guide in Japan.

I am a bilingual local who lives in Japan and enjoys travelling myself. I don't have industry experience specific to tourism per se but do have experience welcoming/entertaining international guests visiting Japan for work. I genuinely love to help people visiting Japan have a fond memory and experience in Japan while they stay. I will do my best to cater to all different requests and needs of customers, whether it is about types of places to visit, dietary preferences/restrictions, etc.

I’ve called Japan home for seven years, embracing everything from Tokyo’s vibrant urban energy to the tranquillity of the countryside. Before becoming a guide, I explored Tokyo like a curious long-term traveller, uncovering unusual temples, quirky landmarks, hidden backstreets, local live music venues, rural mountain villages, and one-of-a-kind cultural gems. My passion lies in crafting immersive journeys that dive deep into Japan’s heart, sparking a sense of wonder and escape that makes travellers feel worlds away from home. I’m excited to guide you through the Tokyo labyrinth. This city is endlessly fascinating—so layered and dynamic that even with a lifetime here, you’d only scratch the surface. I’ll show you how to navigate it like a local, as mastering the transport system isn’t as tricky as it seems, and I’ll help you gain the confidence to explore Tokyo on your own while we focus on the city’s hidden treasures. Together, we can visit parts of Tokyo most travellers overlook—the nostalgic charm of the Shitamachi, the hustle of salaryman districts, the neon-lit buzz of cyber Tokyo, and tranquil local power spots. Let’s discover the city’s hidden depths and create memories that will last a lifetime!
