“Incredible Tour with such thoughtfulness”
I went to Tokyo with my 12 year old son, so just the two of us. I gave Jaime a few ideas of what we were interested in and he created an incredible custom tour for 10 hours! Then the day before I realized I wanted to start at Tsukiji Market and asked if we could play our itinerary by ear due to not knowing what my son would be able to handle. Jaime was so understanding and accommodating. He gave us tips that helped us throughout our entire trip and I've shared with. Without his help we would have missed so many little stands and stalls and interesting off the beaten path areas. At one point I mentioned how could we get Pokemon cards and he responded that we should go right then as it was on the route to our next stop and had just opened. We were in and out with exactly what we wanted so quickly, all thanks to Jaime. We explored multiple markets, were able to try so many different types of food all with his help and guidance. Our lunch stop I still crave! Jaime has a true appreciation for culture and the history and connection to the older generation. We went to tiny shops run by grandma's that would share stories with us and he would translate. I loved this! Not only did he take us to quiet areas with no tourists, he also took us to the very crowded popular sites. Having Jaime take us through Harajuku was a huge relief, he showed us some great shopping stores and places to eat and the best spot for a view. When we came back to the area it was nice to already feel comfortable. Some of my favorite spots were places Jaime took us to. I wish he could have been with us every day. I highly recommend booking a tour with Jaime and let him guide you, you will have an unforgettable day!

“Fun, Professional and Easy Planning!”
Jaime worked with us to customize his anime/Otaku culture tour to also include some shrines and neighborhood markets. We unfortunately caught a rainy day, but took breaks to duck into shops, and enjoy some tea and snacks. Highly recommend Jaime for his local knowledge, language skills and great communication leading up to the tour.

Welcome to Japan! My name is Chiaki. I’m a government licensed guide interpreter, a wife and mother of two grown-up children. I’ve been living in Tokyo for 30 years so I know the area well. If you don’t want to miss popular “must see” places, wish to eat a variety of Japanese popular and delicious food, have particular interest in Japanese theatrical arts, architectures, gardens, tea ceremony and “kawaii” characters, or are tired of tourist spots and like to see the real life of people in Japan, I can help you. My goal is to help you to make your stay in Japan as memorable and fulfilling as possible. If I can serve you to make your special trip more special, it will be my pleasure.
Ken T.
Hello! My name is Ken (Kenichi), and I’m a professional tour guide with experience guiding over 1,500 foreign tourists as of February 2025. I have worked for both Japanese and international companies in Tokyo for over 30 years, giving me deep insight into the city and its unique charm. I also love traveling and have explored many famous destinations in Japan as well as in 40+ countries worldwide. I fully understand the challenges that many first-time travelers face when visiting Japan, especially in a busy city like Tokyo. My goal is to provide you with a fully customized, time-efficient tour that meets your needs and preferences. Since most travelers have limited time and want to visit as many places as possible, I carefully plan tours that highlight the best spots and the most efficient routes, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience. For added comfort and luxury, I offer the option of using a car with an experienced driver (my wife), making your tour even more convenient and stress-free. I look forward to guiding you and helping make your visit to Japan truly memorable.
