Dear Ruth, Thank you very much for your wonderful review. All of you were so friendly and I could enjoy talking a lot with you during the tour. Despite the rain forecast, we were lucky to have nice refreshing and comfortable two days. And I was really relieved to be able to find the cosmetics you’d like to purchase. It was really happy two days. Thank you so much for choosing me as your guide in Tokyo. Please give my best regards to everyone. Arigato Gozaimashita. Shizuko.

“Memorable day in Tokyo ”
Shizuko was a wonderful guide who showed extensive knowledge of Tokyo and flexibility in planning our day. Wherever we explored, Shizuko pointed out interesting facts and good suggestions of what to experience and see. She also showed us how to navigate the subways and trains. We visited Tsukiji Outer Market, Shibuya, Harajuku, and the Imperial Palace. I especially loved visiting the Meijing Shrine. I highly recommend spending the day with Shizuko as she is a lovely person as well as an expert guide.
Shizuko T.
Dear Talya, Thank you very much for your great review. I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed visiting popular sightseeing spots in Tokyo. Especially, you said that you loved visiting the Meiji shrine. Because it’s the place I’d like to introduce most during the tour. Even today, various traditional Japanese events are held at shrines. Luckily, we could see a girl worn kimono who visited shrine to celebrate her Seven-Five-Three year’s ceremony. By the way, how is your condition? I’m worried because you had bad cough. I hope your cough was already relieved and got well. Please take care of yourself and continue to enjoy your cruising trip around Japan. Thank you for choosing me as your guide in Tokyo. It was really nice meeting you. Please give my best regard to your husband. Best regards, Shizuko

Hello. I'm Akira.S. I've just finished working as a mentor for new young teachers of public junior high schools after long time career as a teacher. I’m so interested in guiding popular sightseeing spots and also hidden areas in and around Tokyo to you. I love this job because I have a lot of chances to meet nice people from various countries. I'm really looking forward to meeting persons interested in Japanese culture and history like YOU. I really hope you touch Japanese cultures, including Japanese cuisines. I’m coming up with a tour plan based on your interest.

Grant A.
Hello! My name is Grant, and I’ve spent over a decade living and exploring Japan. Originally from Omaha, Nebraska, I first came to Japan as a high school exchange student in Inuyama, a historic castle town in Aichi. My love for Japan began early—sparked by childhood games like Pokémon that were released in Japanese before English. That early curiosity grew into a lifelong passion for Japanese language, culture, and history. I hold an N2 on the Japanese Language Proficiency Test, a degree in Asian Studies from a Tokyo university, and I graduated from the Japan Visual Media Translation Academy. I’ve visited all 47 prefectures and explored a wide range of historical sites, shrines, and castles throughout the country. My background in Japanese history helps me provide context that brings depth and meaning to the places we visit—whether it's understanding a centuries-old temple in Kyoto, the story behind a castle ruin, or uncovering the historical layers of a Tokyo neighborhood. If you’re planning to explore Tokyo, here are some tour options to consider: One day in Tokyo? The Ginza Line Tour offers a great introduction to the city’s highlights. Two days? Pair the East Tokyo Tour and West Tokyo Tour to get a well-rounded experience. Interested in anime? The Anime Tour is flexible and can be tailored to match your specific interests. For those looking to go beyond the city, I also offer day trips to Nikko, Kamakura, and other nearby destinations. While most guests book Tokyo-based tours, I also guide in other regions—especially Kyoto, where I’ve visited every World Heritage Site. I regularly lead tours in Osaka, Nara, Nagoya, Hikone, and other locations easily reached by rail. Multi-day and custom tours are available on request. Full-Day Tour: 40,000 yen (8 hours) Full-Day Tour Outside of Tokyo: 40,000 yen + transportation Feel free to get in touch to plan a tour that fits your interests and travel plans.

I’m so excited to have a chance to show you around my favorite spots in Kanagawa prefecture. I was born in Kanagawa. I spent my whole school life, including university, here in Kanagawa. I worked as a high school English teacher here for 40 years. I love Kanagawa so much. We have many interesting tourist spots, like Hakone, Kamakura, Enoshima and Yokohama. I got my tour guide license in English in 2009. I am still an English teacher. To give an interesting and impressive lesson to young high school students, I’ve learnt and gathered many kinds of information. I also have a license to teach social studies, so I have a wide range of knowledge about Japanese culture and history. I’m sure to provide you an interesting tour.
