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

Very Accommodating, Kind, and Polite

Takako is a very polite and accommodating tour guide. She speaks English very well and easy to understand. She customized our tour to our preferences and locations too. She also wrote a letter in kanji for me and translated quickly and accurately. Would 100% book again.

Brendon S.

Hello Brendon ! Are you all well? Thank you for your quick review. I am very glad to have spent a wonderful time with you . I was honored to have translated your hope in Japanese and written it on a wooden votive tablet of Meiji Jingu Shrne. I will keep my fingers crossed that your hope would come true. See you again! Takako

Great time despite the rain

Unfortunately the rain got the best of our tour, but Takako was so accommodating to shift the itinerary around and take us to different shopping spots so the day wasn’t a total waste. Takako was so sweet and very knowledgeable about Tokyo. She was dedicated to ensuring we were able to see as much as possible. We loved spending our day with Takako, despite the rain!

Juliana M.

Hello Good day ! Thank you for your reviews. In the afternoon, we had heavy rain suddenly, which prevented us from going the tour.unfortunately. But in the shopping districts, I was very glad to spare the enough time to visiting many shops as much as you like and you could find the satisfied goods. I hope you have a happy time in Tokyo by going through subways. See you again someday! Thanks Takako

Excellent start to our Tokyo visit

Takako was so pleasant & helpful. She prepared an excellent itinerary for us as our introduction to Tokyo. We learnt so much from her in terms of the city’s history, special places of interest and even some over city viewing points. Well done Takako. I highly recommend you to other visitors to your city.

Brian G.

Hello Brian and Kathy Thank you for your review. I am very glad to guide you under the good weather through the part of Tokyo. I think you could enjoy Meiji jingu shrine and othe places by Subway networks. Have a nice time more in Tokyo. See you again someday! Takako

My name is Kumiko. I used to live in New York and London and worked for US companies for many years. Based on my experience, I recognize that Japan is a fascinating country, but at the same time, it is unique in many ways. Tokyo, as the capital of Japan, is a unique and diverse mix of cutting-edge technology, traditional culture, and Western influences. As an art lover, I am happy to show you many galleries in Tokyo. I received a Certificate of Art Business Masterclass from Christie's. As a guide, I'd like to explain to my guests about Japanese culture as well as background and introduce popular places and food. I think most visitors coming to Japan are hoping both to enjoy themselves and also have a meaningful encounter with a different culture. I am looking forward to helping you explore my city and enjoy everything it has to offer.

Hi. I’m Seigo. I am a licensed guide in both English and Chinese. I can speak Spanish just a little bit. I enjoy listening to music, watching sports, driving in my car, and learning new languages in my free time. Since I have lived in Kanagawa my whole life, I can offer satisfying private customized tours to each guest group. My recommended destinations in Kanagawa are Kamakura, a seat of Japan's first Shogunate, and Hakone, a popular resort area with mountains and Lake Ashi. In addition to the standard tourist destinations, I can also drive you around some nice places in the suburbs of Tokyo that foreign tourists don't usually visit. It will be great if you have fun exploring Japan with my little help. Please feel free to contact me anytime! I'm looking forward to seeing you soon!

I came to Japan in 1998, intending to stay a few months, but enjoying Japan, I never left. I was intrigued by the history, culture, language, and food. And the fascination and excitement of exploring and learning new things about Japan still exists with me today. The variety and choices of things to do and places to go can be overwhelming. I can offer you suggestions and a unique perspective on Japan. I can share local knowledge about things often missed. Fluent in Japanese with a master's degree in Japanese Studies and living in Japan for over 20 years, I can be your guide.

Are you interested in history and clues to understand Japanese culture? If you say "yes", why don't you join my tour? Tokyo is a wonderful city having various aspects. With its 400-year history, Tokyo has a lot of traditional spots like splendid Buddhist temples and serene Shinto shrines. You can also find beautiful traditional Japanese gardens.

Various types of amusement are available from digital art museums to cat cafes. And another very important point is Tokyo is full of delicious food!
