“Amazing car tour ”
My friend and I booked a custom car tour with Tan and she was amazing! She made travel easy and showed us some wonderful sights in Tokyo. I will definitely book with her again when I come back. She’s really educated on the history and details of Tokyo so we learned a lot.

“Fun and Informative Day Tour with Tan”
My husband and I had the pleasure of having Tan as our driver and tour guide for an early September day in fascinating Kamakura. Tan is friendly, funny, very knowledgeable, and her command of English is outstanding. Her pre-arrival communications were detailed, and she crafted a well-organized, gently paced, and stimulating itinerary for our visit. Tan effectively and graciously accommodated our requests for meal choices, breaks in the action, and personal shopping, amidst the touring of the gardens, temples and shrines. She skillfully answered our many questions about history and culture as well as life in modern day Japan with frankness and humour. Tan's ability to drive, navigate and contend with routes and traffic was impressive! Arigato, Tan. Mary Lynn and Paul fromLondon, Ontario, Canada.

Dear Mary Lynn & Paul, You guys were my first customers as i only managed to curate my detailed tours this year. It was a great pleasure of guiding world class travelers like you. As experienced former teachers, you guys know how to evaluate a well planned tour before booking it. It is very hard these days to have achieved what you are enjoying like now with Paul who always by your side. I wish both of you happy belated birthday in advance and wish you guys good health always with lots of gratitude and love. Stay safe wherever you are. Respectfully, Tan

Grant A.
Hello! My name is Grant, and I’ve spent over a decade living and exploring Japan. Originally from Omaha, Nebraska, I first came to Japan as a high school exchange student in Inuyama, a historic castle town in Aichi. My love for Japan began early—sparked by childhood games like Pokémon that were released in Japanese before English. That early curiosity grew into a lifelong passion for Japanese language, culture, and history. I hold an N2 on the Japanese Language Proficiency Test, a degree in Asian Studies from a Tokyo university, and I graduated from the Japan Visual Media Translation Academy. I’ve visited all 47 prefectures and explored a wide range of historical sites, shrines, and castles throughout the country. My background in Japanese history helps me provide context that brings depth and meaning to the places we visit—whether it's understanding a centuries-old temple in Kyoto, the story behind a castle ruin, or uncovering the historical layers of a Tokyo neighborhood. If you’re planning to explore Tokyo, here are some tour options to consider: One day in Tokyo? The Ginza Line Tour offers a great introduction to the city’s highlights. Two days? Pair the East Tokyo Tour and West Tokyo Tour to get a well-rounded experience. Interested in anime? The Anime Tour is flexible and can be tailored to match your specific interests. For those looking to go beyond the city, I also offer day trips to Nikko, Kamakura, and other nearby destinations. While most guests book Tokyo-based tours, I also guide in other regions—especially Kyoto, where I’ve visited every World Heritage Site. I regularly lead tours in Osaka, Nara, Nagoya, Hikone, and other locations easily reached by rail. Multi-day and custom tours are available on request. Full-Day Tour: 40,000 yen (8 hours) Full-Day Tour Outside of Tokyo: 40,000 yen + transportation Feel free to get in touch to plan a tour that fits your interests and travel plans.

Kaneo U.
I’m so excited to have a chance to show you around my favorite spots in Kanagawa prefecture. I was born in Kanagawa. I spent my whole school life, including university, here in Kanagawa. I worked as a high school English teacher here for more than 40 years. I love Kanagawa so much. We have many interesting tourist spots, like Hakone, Kamakura, Enoshima and Yokohama. I got my tour guide license in English in 2009. I am still an English teacher. To give an interesting and impressive lesson to young high school students, I’ve learnt and gathered many kinds of information. I also have a license to teach social studies, so I have a wide range of knowledge about Japanese culture and history. I’m sure to provide you an interesting tour.
