About Tour Guide Lily I.

Hello! I’m Lily.

I am a government certified tour guide. I have experienced more than 100 customized tours starting from March 2024 and have been receiving 5-star reviews on popular travel booking sites from over 90% of my guests.


I love Japanese food(eating and cooking!), cultures such as traditional arts and crafts, and so much more! I love exploring towns small or big to look for hidden gems and can't wait to share them with you!


I was born and raised in Tokyo for over 40 years with a few childhood years in the US. I am a mom of two boys and have work experience in the Japanese Education industry as a teacher and a public relations professional.


I am proud to be able to introduce the charms of Japan from multiple perspectives based on my experience of interacting with people from many different nationalities.


I am happy to tailor an original plan or to arrange your bucket list advancing it to a better option.


I’m looking forward to guiding and sharing the excitement of Japan!!

Highly Recommend Lily!

Four of us from San Francisco spent seven hours touring Tokyo with Lily and couldn’t have been more pleased! She’s warm, engaging, and every bit as delightful as she appears in her video. Lily tailored the tour to our interests, made navigating the city effortless and fun, and gave us several great ideas to pursue during our next two days in Tokyo. We would highly recommend Lily!

Dear Carolyn, Thank you so much for your warm message. It was my pleasure to meet you all and spend a wonderful time together exploring both the old and new sides of the city. I especially enjoyed chatting about many things surrounding us and your curiosity about Japanese culture made me inspired during the tour. I always feel happy to help your trip be more delightful and memorable. Best regards, Lily

Tokyo Experience by the BEST!

My wife and I enjoyed 1-1/2 days seeing important and fascinating parts of Tokyo with our guide Lily! What an excellent ambassador for this historical and special place. Lily was sooo professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and absolute fun from the very first inquiry all the way through our time together. Lily loves her town and loves to share her experiences and knowledge. We travelled to Tokyo a couple of days early to enjoy the city in advance of our cruise and Lily did an excellent job tailoring our time and sites perfectly to our interests and to avoid duplication with expected sites to be toured with our cruise excursions. Lily's help with our travel details (like getting from the airport to the hotel by train, recommending a Suica card for easy train access, etc.) once in Tokyo, all in advance of our arrival, was super helpful! All in all, our day and a half with Lily was a wonderful, educational, and fun filled time getting to experience the city with an exemplary guide and ambassador for Japan!!

Dear Scott, Thank you very much for your thoughtful comments! These words reminded me of the journey we had together. I felt so happy introducing culture, history, and all the delicacies along the way we explored. Since we have so many things to offer, I would be more than happy if you could make another visit in not so far future. All the best, Lily

Tokyo 7-hour Tour - May 2025

Our family of 5 did the 7-hour tour of Tokyo with Lily and had a fantastic time. She was very considerate of our family’s dietary restrictions and adjusted the itinerary to match our interests (for example, we visited a garden instead of the fish market). Traveling with two seniors, we appreciated her patience and flexibility. Lily is personable, helpful, and her English was great, which made communication easy and enjoyable. We're so glad we did the tour on our first day in the city because we felt like the tour covered all the major highlights. We highly recommend her for anyone looking for a customized and personal Tokyo tour.
