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.

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.
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!
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.

“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.

Hello, I'm Hiroshi. I am a National Government Licensed Tour Guide Interpreter in English. I have got a master's degree in Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in the U.S. I have been living in a city of Fujisawa, which is the city next to Kamakura, for more than 20 years, and also lived in Kamakura for more than 10 years. So far, I have visited almost all the temples and shrines in Kamakura. So I am sure I can offer you a pleasant trip to the historical city, Kamakura. In addition to Kamakura, I can also guide Tokyo, Yokohama, Hakone, Nikko, etc. because I have visited many places in Kanto area. For example, in Tokyo I can show you around the sightseeing spots such as Asakusa, Tsukiji, Imperial Palace, Meiji Shrine, Tokyo Skytree, etc. I like baseball and used to play baseball, but now enjoy watching professional baseball games. And I like watching Rakugo, Japanese traditional story-telling performance. Of course, I also like travelling very much, and am interested in Japanese culture and history. So I would like to show you Japanese tradition and culture. Let’s enjoy a trip in Japan together. I am looking forward to seeing you soon.
