“Private Tour - just what we needed!”
Johnny was INCREDIBLE! Especially with our kids. We had a hard time finding a tour guide for families and Johnny was the perfect match. It was so nice to be able to just follow along with him instead of trying to figure out how to get to everything ourself. He customized our day to exactly what we wanted…a little bit culture, a little bit fun, and stuff for the kids (which us grownups loved too!). Definitely recommend Johnny!

“The Perfect Tokyo Day with Johnny - Like Travelling with Family”
Our day with Johnny was absolutely wonderful. My son and I instantly felt like we were exploring Tokyo with a cool family member who knows the city like the back of his hand. He thought of everything. Especially when it came to keeping a toddler happy, comfortable, and entertained. Johnny planned the day so thoughtfully. We visited a fun indoor play area (“Playground 4 Kids Shibuya”) which was perfect for my little one — and surprisingly cheap! He took us to Meiji Shrine for a gorgeous photo under the giant torii gate, wandered through “kawaii street” on Takeshita Street, and even introduced us to the sweetest Hamster and Hedgehog Café. One of my favourite moments was at Togo Shrine: watching huge koi fish, doing a fortune, making a wish, and exploring all the beautiful amulets. It was peaceful, meaningful, and so special. Throughout the day, Johnny adjusted our plans based on my son’s moods and what we were interested in. It made everything feel relaxed and perfectly tailored to us. He also introduced me to real, traditional mochi, which I absolutely loved! On top of all that, Johnny brought his own camera and took the most beautiful photos during the tour. They captured the day so naturally and are memories I’ll treasure. If you’re visiting Tokyo (especially with a child or family) I can’t recommend Johnny enough. Kind, fun, flexible, and incredibly knowledgeable. We loved every minute of our day with him.

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 more than 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.

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.

Chiaki K.
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.
