“Tokyo day sights ”
We had a great experience with Suzy as we called her. A very nice guide with a lot of knowledge of Tokyo We rode the subway to visit all places. The stone , the fish market, out door shops. Had a great lunch at a local famous sushi restaurant which she made reservations . We were a group of 8 and she managed to keep us informed at all times. Thank you.

“Shizuko is AMAZING!”
I came to Shizuko with a bit of a curve ball. I wanted to visit the Nissan heritage collection in Yokohama, but bookings are Japanese-only. And booking spots is difficult. Shizuko graciously agreed to help, and managed the entire booking process, met as at the nearest train station, escorted us by a local bus to the gates, got us through security and into the museum. She provided some translation whilst there and it was just an all round amazing experience. I plan to return with my fiancée (wife by then) in the future and plan to organise one of Shizuko's regular tours for sure!

Dear Clinton, Thank you very much for such a wonderful review. I’m so glad to received it. It was my pleasure to make a reservation of the museum for you. At the museum, I was happy to see that you and your friends really enjoyed various Nissan cars, sports cars (real racing cars won the Le Mans Race etc.), Nissan GTR etc. that have made Nissan’s glorious history. I hope you enjoyed Takayama, Shirakawa-go and others (beautiful local area in Japan). I’m looking forward to seeing you (and your wife) again in the future. Thank you. Best regards, Shizuko. I have received a thank-you mail from the museum, I attached it below. **** Dear Mr. Kampen, We want to extend our sincerest gratitude for your recent visit to Nissan Heritage Collection. We truly hope you enjoyed exploring our history through various cars which have pioneered an era. Since its establishment in 1933, Nissan has dared to do what others don’t, and Nissan will continue to provide innovative products, technologies, and services that excite people and society. Thank you once again and we look forward to seeing again in the near future. Sincerely, The Team at Nissan Heritage Collection Museum.****

“2 days of Tokyo and Kamakura tours”
Shizuko (Suzie) was fantastic. She was kind and patient during our tours. She took us to the best sites and we had great dining experiences. We would have never been able to navigate the lines without her. Our experience in Japan was fantastic because of Suzie!
Shizuko T.
Dear Michelle, Thank you very much for sending me such a kind review. I’m so glad to know that you enjoyed the tour with me. I myself really enjoyed talking with you about various social situations in the United States and Japan in the train to Kamakura. I hope the obi (sash for kimono) you bought in Kamakura surely matches the wonderful room of your house. And I hope you enjoyed Shibuya SKY and other places you visited in your free time of the next day. Thank you very much to choose me as your guide this time. It was really nice meeting you. Kind regards, Shizuko

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.
