About Tour Guide Shin N.
Welcome to Japan! I'm Shin. I have been an English Guide in Japan more than10 years.
I can guide Tokyo, Kanagawa and almost all metropolitan sightseeing and walking spots.
I was born in Kobe, grown up in Osaka, and studied in Kyoto,
so not only Tokyo but I also have a good knowledge of Japanese historical cities.
I love talking about Japanese food & culture, walking quiet narrow streets, drinking tasty Japanese whisky, Sumo, Rugby & Sports, and Japanese mountains.
I climbed Mt. Fuji 18 times with foreign guests. We enjoyed the auspicious moments of sunrising from the summit.
I would like to support you to make your stay in Japan memorable and precious one.
It is grateful if you refer to my proposed tour schedule,
in the case you have your own interests, I am happy to tailor the tour schedule responding your requests.

Your Favorite 1 Day Kamakura
Kamakura is the first and oldest Samurai capital in Japan, built more than 800 years ago. To change their barbarous image from Kyoto nobles, Samurai government tried their best to make it an attractive city.

“Yokohama City Highlights”
Once again Shin hit it out of the park! Started our morning with a short walking tour around Yokohama Port Bay with a stop at the observatory. Then off to the British Consulate Museum and Gardens! Both were Awesome! Then it was off to the Sankeien Japanese Gardens! Spectacular! You would never know you're right in the middle of a busy city! Next came a short walk in Yokohama's Chinatown to an awesome, authentic Chinese Restaurant! Finally it was a well calculated drive to the Haneda Airport where Shin took us to another Observatory and final chance to do a little shopping. All of the above was put together by Shin, even the hire of the Limo, the cost of which was very reasonable. Thanks kindly again Shin for guiding us around your beautiful country!

Karey san, Thank you for your kind message. Because your review is so precise, there is no room for me to add our itinerary on the day! Your booking of a limousine for one day from Yokohama Osanbashi ferry terminal to Haneda allows us to enjoy Yokohama flexibly. I will remember our three days in Tokyo & Yokohama for long time as one of my unforgettable days in my guiding career. Arigatou, Shin

“My daughter was right.”
During a long layover in Tokyo ten years ago Shin escorted newlyweds for a day. That was so memorable that she was able to remember and recommend Shin for us, 14 and 17 y/o boys, mother and 80 y/o grandfather. She wasn't wrong. Delightful day. He taught us the ropes of the transportation system. We saw a number of areas from quiet religious sites to bustling shopping thoroughfares. Perhaps most impressively was Shin's ability to respond to an "out of the blue" request to visit an unplanned destination. He adjusted the tour by getting us to that spot and another nearby area without any qualm whatsoever. Highly recommend.
Shin N.
George san, Thank you for your kind review. It is so good to hear from you that your family enjoyed our tour day in Tokyo. It is my honor that your daughter remembered my name and recommended me as a guide for your important day in Tokyo. Nakano free market was my first visit, thank you for your good choice. Lunch at Yanaka with you was also impressive. I am very happy to meet your family member again when they have another chance to visit Tokyo. Sincerely yours, Arigatou! Shin

At the Ryougoku station, we can find Sumo Exhibits like the actual size of Dohyo, Hights and handprints of big wrestlers, Portraits of tournament champions etc.. We walked around Sumo stable area, then went into Sumo Museum at National Sumo Areana, Kokugikan. Moved to Edo-Tokyo Museum where exhibits good summary of 400 years history of Edo & Tokyo. We had a short walk to Yasuda Garden Park, which was an old Japanese local lord residence in Edo. Used subway to Asakusa, we enjoyed beautiful Tempura lunch at a historical restaurant, Sansada, whose started its business in 1837, older than your country establishment. Enjoyed walking Nakamise, Sensoji, shopping streets in Asakusa. Final destination was Ueno, where we enjoyed firstly Edo area, Kaneiji, Toshogu, then secondly Meiji Tokyo area, International Library of Children’s Literature, beautifully reconstructed by Tadao Ando. Finished all itinerary, we returned to your hotel. Thank you again for your long walking. See you again soon, Arigatou, Shin

Yumiko O.
Hello, my name is Yumiko, and I am a licensed tour guide based in Japan. It is my pleasure to share the beauty of Japan with travelers from all over the world. I have guided many visitors through Tokyo, Kamakura, Hakone, and other famous destinations, as well as hidden gems that only locals know. My goal is always to create a tour that is not only informative but also enjoyable and personalized to your interests. With a warm and flexible guiding style, I love helping guests discover Japan’s traditions, history, and everyday life. Whether you are interested in temples and shrines, delicious local food, or simply strolling through charming streets, I will do my best to make your time in Japan unforgettable. I am excited to announce that I have started offering tours in Odawara! Odawara is a historic castle town located just an hour from Tokyo, famous for its impressive Odawara Castle, beautiful views of both the sea and mountains, and its role as the gateway to Hakone. In addition to exploring the castle and tasting local specialties such as fresh seafood and kamaboko (fish cakes), you can also enjoy many Instagram-worthy spots, from the scenic coastline to charming traditional houses that give a glimpse of Japan’s past. Odawara is still less crowded compared to other popular destinations, so it’s a great time to visit. I look forward to welcoming you and creating wonderful memories together!
