“Amazing Day at Mt. Fuji”
Our guide was terrific. He communicated with me very quickly and answered all of my questions in detail. He prepared a beautiful itinerary for the day. The Taxi he arranged for us was safe and clean. His knowledge of English is wonderful and he is a kind person. He knows much of the history and filled in the gaps with much information.

“Memorable Hakone Tour ”
We had an excellent experience with our tour guide in Hakone! He planned a thoughtful and well-paced itinerary that allowed us to enjoy so many highlights, including the Hakone Open-Air Museum, Owakudani, the ropeway, Lake Ashi pirate cruise, and Hakone Shrine. Everything was organized beautifully, and he made the day easy, informative, and enjoyable from start to finish. He was kind, professional, knowledgeable, and very attentive to our group. We especially appreciated how smoothly he guided us through the different trains, buses, cable car, ropeway, and cruise. His explanations helped us better understand and appreciate Hakone’s history, scenery, and culture. We highly recommend him to anyone visiting Hakone. He made our day truly memorable!

Located in the center of the main island of Japan, Gunma has been a place where travelers from various parts of Japan, like Tokyo, Niigata, and Nagano, come and go.

Drawing from my experience as a local tour guide and knowledge of Japanese culture, history, and traditions, I offer you a seamless and immersive journey.

Hello! I’m Your Friendly Guide to Japan’s Kanto Region I’m based in the beautiful Tochigi Prefecture and absolutely love sharing Japan’s amazing culture, history, and hidden spots with visitors like you. Before doing tour guiding, I was a public school teacher, so I’m great at making stories come alive and helping you really connect with the places we visit. I speak Japanese at an advanced level (N2), and I’ve spent a lot of time exploring Japan—from living a year in the peaceful town of Kamishihoro in Hokkaido to wandering the bustling streets of Tokyo. This means I can give you insider tips and deep insights that go beyond the usual tourist trails. *What I Offer* I mainly guide around the Kanto area, which includes Tokyo, Yokohama, Saitama, Ibaraki, Gunma, and of course, Tochigi. Here are some of the fun tours I can take you on: - **Utsunomiya Cultural Immersion:** Spend a day discovering the unique charm and tasty eats of Utsunomiya. - **Tokyo All-in-One:** Explore both East and West Tokyo in a single day for a full city experience. - **Anime & Pop Culture Tours:** Tailor-made adventures based on your favorite shows, games, and characters. - **Kanto Day Trips:** Visit iconic spots like Nikko’s stunning temples or Kamakura’s historic sites. I also love guiding in other parts of Japan, especially Kyoto—I’ve seen every World Heritage Site there! Plus, I often run tours in Osaka, Nara, Nagoya, Hikone, and more, all easy to reach by train. *Customize Your Journey* Every tour is flexible and designed just for you. To make your trip even more memorable, I’ll create a free, beautifully crafted photo album with music from your tour—perfect for sharing or keeping as a souvenir. Ready to explore Japan in a fun, relaxed way with someone who’s passionate about showing you the real stories behind every place? Let’s chat and start planning your perfect adventure!

Born and bred in Tokyo I am still living in the suburbs of Tokyo. I spent several years in the U.S. and the UK and wanted to show international visitors around Japan in return for the hospitality I had received in foreign countries. After coming back from the UK, I obtained the qualification of the National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter. I can guide guests to every corner of Tokyo including areas off the beaten track. As a history fan I can tell you a historical episode behind the scenes. From a local perspective I can explain how we Japanese are getting along. Since I have science and technology backgrounds, I can give you a tour of scientific or technical things as well..
