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

“Fall Leaves Tour”
Takako is an excellent tour guide. She took my family and me around Ueno Park, the Tokyo National Museum, and Shinjukyu Goen National Garden to see the fall leaves. I'm in a wheelchair, so walking tours can be challenging for me, but Takako's attention and care on our tour made it a memorable day for us. Mahalo, Takako!

Hello Bryan and your family I’m very happy to receive your review and to hear that you enjoyed your day in Tokyo. Since the 2021 Tokyo Olympic Games, the city has been working—though still not perfectly—to become more accessible and friendly for people with disabilities. It was a pleasure to meet your family with roots in Japan. Tokyo continues to change and evolve, so please come visit again anytime. I’ll be looking forward to seeing you again.

“A unique experience. ! ”
This was our second day with Tako and my husbands birthday so we had corresponded online before hand to arrange something a bit different . We wanted to experience a traditional Japanese tea ceremony and Taka organised that as well as suggesting we wear kimonos to the ceremony and had a photo shoot !!!! Whilst a bit nervous ( at our age) to do the latter , it was a lot of fun and we have some great photos to take away with us….. also saw the wonderful Sensi-ji temple, went up the Tokyo tower and had lunch at a back street non tourist restaurant where they cooked the food o n our table in front of us ! What a day ! Thank you so much Taka. You have been a wonderful guide and we truly loved meeting you . Best wishes to you for the future . We hope to meet again one day . Caroline and Paul williams

TakakoOn the second day, since it was your wedding anniversary and birthday, I arranged a special tour for you. As you wished to experience a traditional tea ceremony in an authentic tea room, you first enjoyed the tea ceremony wearing beautiful Japanese attire, and then had many wonderful photos taken at Sensoji Temple by a professional photographer. It must have been a bit tiring wearing a kimono, but you looked absolutely stunning! I’m so glad you enjoyed the okonomiyaki and monjayaki lunch, as well as the atmosphere of the restaurant. It was truly my pleasure to help create a memorable page in your travel story. I look forward to seeing you again! Takako

“Tsukiji Fish Market, John Lennon cafe and a Palace! ”
We had such a wonderful trip today with Taka. Started at Tokyo station a fabulous building in the middle of Tokyo, had a real Japanese food experience in the fish market with amazing Prawns and seafood, visited the Imperial Palace and gardens then off to the Meiji Shrine in the forest before ending at Shibuya sky where we had tickets for the observation deck . Taka gave us some great insights into general life in Japan as well as the history around the places we visited . It was fun doing everything by train and we got a real feel for how that all works . Overall , a really great day . Thanks so much Taka ….

Dear Paul and Caroline Thank you very much for your prompt review. I was truly happy to spend your precious two days in Tokyo together. On the first day, although it was a cold and rainy day with slippery paths, I’m glad you enjoyed the beautiful greenery of the Imperial Palace and Meiji Shrine, which looked even more stunning in the rain. I’m also happy to hear that you enjoyed the seafood dishes at Tsukiji. The schedule was a little tight, so I hope you weren’t too tired — but I’m glad we managed to make it to Shibuya Sky on time for your reservation. Thanks Takako

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.

Tak Y.
Hi, my name is Tak. I have seen travelers. And, I found they got tired of typical sightseeing spots, like crowded temples and shrines. There must be spots fit to your feeling and interests, more in Japan. Then, I’d like to propose. Why don’t you start unique and original tour, only your hearts bring to yourselves? . I had guided Pokemon tour Ghost story tour Inari Shrines tour Live house tour Bento (lunchbox) tour Textile tour Papermaking tour I’ll search the site you want to see and create your unique itinerary. First, could you give your message about things you want to do and see in Japan? Let’s make great time you can’t never forget. Thank you so much. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------. I live in SHITAMACHI, Tokyo, or old residential town near ASAKUSA and UENO. My hobby is strolling and I walk about this area almost every day. I know even the smallest path, big and small museums, workshops of artisans, an impressive view of gigantic tree, a beer bar in an impressive old house, unique souvenir shops, cats living in Yanaka and many, many other attractive spots in this area. You can expect a day that nobody read in guide books. So! I hope you name me as the navigator of your fantastic memory-making-tour!!!! I’m 61-year-old and I still love rock’n roll music. If you want to enjoy live music in Tokyo, I can also arrange the location and occasion according to your mood and boom.
