Traditional and Modern One-day Tour in Tokyo
Best recommended tour for the first-time visitor to Tokyo. Tokyo is a unique city with various traditional and contemporary attractions. Let’s create your personalized time in Tokyo by discussing the places you want to visit. You should plan a tour of different sites, such as Kamakura and Hakone, along with my other plan. I am based in Tokyo, but I would happily arrange your tour.

Visit Kamakura, the 13th century capital of Japan!
Kamakura served as Japan's capital from the late 12th century, following the Heian period in Kyoto. You can enjoy the Samurai—time temples and shrines with the Big Buddha. In addition, we will visit the Hase-Temple and the Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine.

Let's explore the traditional and modern sides of Tokyo.
I don't know if you think something is different in Japan, but I suppose it is because it is based on a unique discipline called Shinto. Let's explore what makes Japan unique by visiting several unique sites in Tokyo. This trip includes several sites you feel are unique, and I am happy to explain what makes Japan different from Western cultures. I am based in Tokyo, but I am happy to arrange any kind of tour even to Kyoto and Nara. Just contact me for further details!

One-day Scenic Tour to Hakone from Tokyo
Let's enjoy the scenic beauty at Hakone Hakone, a scenic site, is only 1 hour away from Tokyo by train. It is also a popular spot for Tokyoites to spend a weekend or one-day trip. Why don’t you spend your free time at Hakone, where you can enjoy Lake Ashinoko and a volcano in a day? It is highly recommended to book with my other tour plan, "Traditional and Modern One-day Tour in Tokyo," as you can fully enjoy your Tokyo stay within a limited time.

“Best Trip Ever!!!”
My family and I were lucky enough to spend about 2.5 days with Atuchi in Tokyo. On the date of our arrival Atuchi picked us up at the airport and helped us get settled in and briefly showed us around. He showed us how to navigate the metro system and made sure we were all set up for the days to follow. Our first full day was spent seeing all the sights of Tokyo and that was followed by a one-day scenic tour to Hakone. It was a pleasure having him explain various cultural aspects of the locations we visited without completely overloading us with information. He is extremely friendly, was great to be around, and we immensely enjoyed our time with him. You know our days were great and fulfilling when we were very sad to have to goodbye. You can tell that Atuchi takes a lot of pride in providing a great and memorable experience for his guests. Also, not only does he speak great English, but he was very easy to understand and communicate with. We cannot recommend Atuchi enough!

I am very happy to hear you got home safely. I believe you enjoyed your time in Japan; I intended to help you understand our culture. If you have the chance again, please come back to Japan; there are many more beautiful places to enjoy.

“Perfect day in Tokyo.”
We really enjoyed our day in Tokyo with Atsushi-san. He was calm and modest yet very efficient and helped us better understand Japanese culture and soul. Highly recommended!

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.
