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.
All tours can be customized for you. Send me a message with your requests!

Keiko is the most amazing person to spend the day with - we felt like we were with a friend. She showed us everything we could ever want to see - plus more! We cannot recommend her enough. We feel like we made a friend. Thank you so much Keiko! Cynthia & Nick

Cynthia, thank you very much for your kind review. I truly enjoyed showing you around Tokyo. Although we walked a lot and had a rather tight schedule, you showed such sincere respect for my guiding, which created a pleasant atmosphere for all of us to enjoy together. It was really fun to be around you. When you visit Japan again, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I look forward to the opportunity to serve you again.

Keiko was an excellent guide on our first full day in Tokyo. Very knowledgeable with excellent English. Very flexible and helped us learn to navigate the train system. She helped us with knife purchase as she could translate directly with shop owners
