About Tour Guide Keiko T.
Hello. I am Keiko, a nationally licensed tour guide for English-speaking tourists. I love traveling to new places, experiencing different cultures, and meeting new people. When I was young, I embarked on a long journey to explore more about my life. I settled in a small town in Illinois, USA, enjoying a new life while studying at the state university, and then moved to Florida to work for a while.
After coming back to Japan, I have been working in downtown Tokyo since 2008, mainly as a translator and sometimes as an interpreter in various fields, including central government offices, TV stations, and a university. Seeing the increased opportunities around the Tokyo Olympics 2020, I transitioned into the tourism industry and am currently working as a tour guide, basically giving day tours of downtown Tokyo, Fuji & Hakone, Kamakura and Nikko.
I love meeting people from different backgrounds, talking with them, and learning new things. That's why I enjoy hosting guests from abroad who want to explore Japan. Many local people helped me during my journey, and now it's time for me to give back. Come and meet me here; I will show you around amazing places in Japan.
Important
I can guide you in Lake Kawaguchi, Hakone, Kamakura, and Nikko if you pay my transportation fee.

“Fabulous Day with Keiko”
We had a marvellous day with Keiko. She was 10 mins early and we set out for a very busy, informative day. Lots of walking which we really enjoyed. Saw the highlites of your A - and more. She was very helpful and even took the time to show us how to get to the bullet train - including all the details for our ongoing trip. Wonderful day and she was excellent. Thanks Keiko!

Michael, thank you for your kind review. I’m glad I could be part of your adventure exploring Tokyo. I truly enjoyed spending time with you and your wife. I’m also impressed that you found your own way back to your hotel. Very brave of you! I hope you enjoy the rest of your journey!

“EXCEPTIONAL 5 STAR GUIDE and Excellent English! ”
As someone who has owned a tourism related business (in Alaska) for 30 years, having also traveled worldwide extensively, I understand the importance of outstanding guide skills combined with quality customer service. As an independent guide Keiko far surpassed my expectations. Traveling with my 83 year mother meant organizing a day that would be interesting while also achievable (without over-exhaustion). Keiko was marvelous in her communication messages prior to our meeting, informative and flexible in figuring out what would best suit my mom. Keiko met us at our hotel with a clear plan (a folder with visuals) followed by sharing 6 hours of fascinating history/ information/ culture/ life throughout our 3 different stopping points. We only used taxis which was very easy for my mom as well as a nice way to get narration from Keiko about which areas or buildings were of significance. Keiko speaks excellent English, has a lovely personality and was thoughtful in how to best strategize the day. I especially appreciated how attentive she was to my mom’s needs (including navigating through crowds). I am grateful for the memorable day we experienced in Tokyo because of Keiko!!

Your friendly and cooperative attitude made it easy for me to do my best as a guide and ensure that you both had a wonderful experience. If you ever have a chance to visit Japan again, please feel free to contact me. I’d be more than happy to show you around again!

“Great experience with a very knowledgeable guide.”
Our guide Keiko was superb as our tour guide for Tokyo. The one day experience with her was excellent. She came well prepared with complete explanations of all the sites we visited. She delivered much historical information that would’ve been difficult to extract just by reading the signs at the various sites we visited. She gave more detailed history about the sites and how they were important in integrating it with ancient old and modern day Tokyo. Very insightful information that you can tell she research carefully and thoroughly. Brought a folder with pictures and further explanation of the sites that she took us to. The communication was clear. You can easily recognize that she studied in the United States for a few few years. Our group thoroughly enjoyed touring Tokyo with her. We would do it again. We all would highly recommend her as a tour guide of Tokyo.

Masahiro N.
Hallo zusammen! Ich heiße Masahiro, aber meine Freunde nennen mich Masa. Nach meinem Studium in Tokio habe ich von 2006 bis 2013 in Wien gelebt. 2013 bin ich endgültig nach Japan zurückgekehrt. Während meiner Zeit in Wien habe ich die deutschsprachige Welt und ihre Kultur sehr intensiv kennengelernt. Heute möchte ich eine Brücke zwischen dem deutschsprachigen Raum und Japan sein – und genau deshalb arbeite ich als Reiseleiter. Ich habe das Gefühl, dass diese Aufgabe meine Lebensaufgabe geworden ist. Für mich ist ein Guide so etwas wie ein privater Diplomat. Er verbindet Menschen aus verschiedenen Ländern und Kulturen und hilft ihnen, einander besser zu verstehen. Ich habe bereits Erfahrung darin, meine Gäste durch viele verschiedene Orte in Japan zu führen, unter anderem durch: • Tokio • Kamakura( Kanagawa) • die Region um den Fuji • Kawagoe(Saitama) • Nikko(Tochigi) • Karuizawa (Nagano) • Kanazawa(Ishikawa) • Kyoto • Osaka • Kobe • Himeji • Nagasaki …und natürlich gibt es noch viele weitere Orte zu entdecken! Ich wohne heute in der Nähe von Tokio. Deshalb sind Touren in Tokio und der Umgebung für mich besonders gut machbar. Eine Reise macht das Leben bunt! Lassen Sie Ihren Alltagsstress hinter sich und genießen Sie entspannte Momente, neue Entdeckungen und interessante Begegnungen – vielleicht sogar den einen oder anderen kleinen Kulturschock. Ich freue mich sehr darauf, Sie auf Ihrer Reise durch Japan zu begleiten! Bis bald in Japan!
