About Tour Guide Tan F.

Hi, I am an inbound certified tour guide who does immersive and comprehensive tours. My name is Tan & my Japanese name is Yuri (lily in English).I have been living in Japan since 2008. I have vast experience as a professional tour guide for a reputable bus tour company in Tokyo. I had tons of good reviews for Kamakura & Mount Fuji tours. I had seen Japan as a former foreigner's perspective. Thus, I know very well tourists' expectation to discover the hidden gems of Tokyo decided to conduct private tours to focus more on small groups and offer a more personalized services to my clienteles instead.

Kindly be advised that my rates are based on my high quality tours and qualification as a professional tour guide. Two roles in one price, guide & driver.

“Fun day in Tokyo”

My husband and I enjoyed a day’s touring with Tan before meeting up with our larger tour group the following day. With jet lag and a recent mobility issue hindering us, we fully appreciated the visiting little known yet special and off-the -beaten path sites by car with Tan at the wheel. We also feasted on wonderful food at one of Tan’s favorite restaurants. It was a great way to begin our time in Japan!

Tan F.

Dear Ellen, Thank you for your frank review. You and Jim are a lovely couple who planned well ahead before the heavy rainy days. Hope you had good memories from Japan and wish you both in good health for you future traveling around the world.

“Your shortcut to great experiences!”

First time out of the country. First time in Japan with my 2 children. I didn’t know any Japanese, but my daughter knows a ton. Well, my daughter was crazy nervous/scared to engage with anyone…so that didn’t quite work as planned lol. Tan saved the day! We ate with the locals WITH EASE. Visited a beautiful city we didn’t think to go to while getting a history lesson! Tan was a great friend to have for those couple hours! I would absolutely use her again!

Tan F.

Dear Ms. Camara, Thank you so much for your honest review. You and your kids really know how to enjoy authentic Japanese foods especially your children as some teenagers from the States do not like Japanese less artificial flavoring which is milder but succulent tastes. I enjoyed dining and explaining to your family and hope one day I can take you to other prefecture with hot spring not for tourist area for good food next time. Till then.

Dear Mr. Vinay, Thank you for your frank review and thank you for choosing my minivan Kamukara tour. Although it was raining. we moved around with a vehicle which is suitable for your parents and enthusiastic son. I enjoyed guiding your family members very much and the vegetarian lunch option.
