About Tour Guide Takako T.
Hello! I am Takako Takata. I was born in Kyoto and grew up in other several districts in Japan
where I was attracted by each place's feature. I started the tour guiding in 2009 in which I introduce interesting and unique spots to tourists. I love to share the marvelous time and moment with people through tours. In Japanese, we have a wonderful phrase expressing such moment and we call it "Ichigo Ichie". It means we have to treasure every encounter, a once-in-
a-lifetime-encounter that is , as it may not recur again. This word came from the spirit of tea ceremony. Anyway, let us enjoy extraordinary tours in Tokyo together, shall we ?
Important
As for Sunday, basically I am unavailable but in the case I will.
Thanks

Thank you very much for your prompt review. As you mentioned that you would like to see both the sea and a lake, I chose to show you Kamakura, a historic city with many beautiful sights. Although there is no lake in Kamakura, I am glad that you were able to enjoy its scenic pond, beautiful beaches, and even a view of Mount Fuji. It was a pleasure guiding you, and I am delighted that you enjoyed the tour.

Dear Hope & Catherine, I hope you enjoyed your trip to Japan. How was your tea ceremony experience? Although the setting was simple, I believe you were able to appreciate the authentic essence of this traditional art. Kimono was good on you! Unfortunately, it turned into a cold rainy day at the East Gardens, but you had the rare chance to enjoy the Japanese garden all to yourselves. Please come visit Japan again—I would be delighted to welcome you back. Take care and stay well. Warm regards, Takako

Dear Diana and Petko Thank you very much for your prompt review. I’m so glad to hear that the wish bracelet worked wonderfully and that you were able to fully enjoy the cherry blossoms as you had hoped. The towel you purchased for your grandchild is made in Imabari, which is famous for producing high-quality towels in Japan. You must be looking forward to the arrival of your grandchild. Please take care and stay well! Thank you and see you someday Takako

Hello! I’m Koichiro. Please call me “Yamasan”. It derives from my family name and my friends call me so. I worked for a machinery company as a project manager and engineer for mechanical and electrical construction projects both domestic and overseas for over 35 years. I recall my first overseas project in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia when I was 26, and the second was in Singapore. I visited many countries for surveys, meetings, commissioning, project handing over, and so on. In 2014 at the age of 60, I decided to retire from the company and live the expected further 30 years of life with a new career and experiences. I, then, studied translation and guide interpretation. I passed the national examination for licensed guides (English) in 2015 and registered with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government in February 2016. Until now, I have been guiding many beautiful guests mainly to popular sightseeing spots such as Asakusa, Tsukiji, Omote-Sando, Meiji Jingu Shrine, and Tokyo Skytree, and also cultural experiences of Origami making, Furoshiki wrapping, and Sushi cooking. I am happy that I can freely arrange a customized tour together with you, or can propose my tours to you. I want to show you some parts of daily Tokyo life and introduce you to Bunkyo City which is located in the heart of Tokyo, just north of Chiyoda City where the Imperial Palace and Tokyo Station are. The city is Tokyo’s typical residential and academic area where I was born, grew up, and live a happy life now. Now, we can tour around the world but have not yet overcome COVID-19 completely. Recently, the number of passengers wearing masks on public transportation in Tokyo reduced to some 25% but we should mind about it still. Please carry your mask to wear it where or when necessary (December 2024, Yamasan).

Hello, I'm Yoshi!! I started my second career as a tour guide after retiring from the Japanese computer company I had worked for about 40 years.

I've experienced guiding international visitors in Tokyo and other famous sightseeing spots as a guide for several years. I will be so happy to help you enjoy your stay in Japan.

I have been working for the business with American companies for many years and have many experiences guiding customers from all over the world, from Japan to the USA and Europe. I lived in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, for five years and loved to drive around Europe, the USA, and Japan. I now have a national license as a guiding interpreter and want to introduce Japanese traditional culture to people worldwide who are interested in it. I can be your guide in Tokyo, Yokohama, and Kamakura for your enjoyable time in Japan.
