“Unforgettable day in Tokyo!”
We had an absolutely wonderful experience touring Tokyo with Keiko! From the moment we met her, it was clear how passionate she is about sharing the history, traditions, and culture of her city. She has a deep knowledge of Japanese history and a real talent for making it engaging and easy to understand. Keiko was warm, kind, and attentive throughout the entire day. She tailored the tour perfectly to our interests and made sure we experienced both the traditional and modern sides of Tokyo. Her explanations were not only informative but also full of enthusiasm, which made us feel truly immersed in the city. What stood out most was her genuine care and dedication. She went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and having the best possible time. Thanks to her, we discovered so many details about Tokyo that we never would have appreciated on our own. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. If you want someone who is both incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely kind, we wholeheartedly recommend Keiko!
Keiko H.
Thank you very much for your warm review with beautiful pictures of my 6-hour-customized-tour. Each picture reminds me of its beauty. It was my pleasure to share a great time with you. I am so happy to know that you enjoyed the tour. We visited historical districts such as Sakuradamon-gate ~ Nijyubashi bridge ~ Yanaka ~ Ueno. Every place we visited was quiet and we were able to enjoy the unique charm of each place. At Yanaka, you tasted senbei, rice cracker, and dorayaki which DORAEMON likes. We also tried KARUPISU, a classic Japanese summer drink. Thank you very much for so many wonderful memories. I hope you return home safely with great memories. If you happen to come back to Japan, please let me show you other beautiful places. I am looking forward to meeting you again in Tokyo!! ARIGATO GOZAIMASHITA. Keiko

Kota A.
Hello everyone! My name is Kota. After graduation from a university in Japan I spent a year in Vancouver, Canada, on a working holiday. While working as a server at a sushi restaurant, I had many opportunities to interact with guests who loved Japan, while also learning about Canadian culture from them. Those experiences became truly meaningful to me, and now I would like to take on that role here in Japan—sharing the beauty of my country with visitors and creating unforgettable memories together. Tokyo is a world-famous metropolis, but beyond its well-known landmarks, it is full of hidden gems that are less crowded and waiting to be discovered. I would be delighted to explore such places with you and do my very best to make your trip to Japan a wonderful experience. Since I am originally from Hiroshima, I am also very familiar with Kyoto, Hiroshima, and Osaka. I would be happy to give you helpful advice if you plan to visit those areas. And if our schedules align, I would love to guide you around my hometown Hiroshima, as well as Shiga where I spent my student years, or even Kyoto and Osaka. Please feel free to reach out anytime! I enjoy watching soccer (especially Manchester United!), and I also like beer and whisky. I’m really looking forward to meeting you all :)

Yoko I.
Hello, I'm Yoko. I was born and brought up in Ashikaga, Tochigi prefecture (80 km north from Tokyo) and I've lived in Tokyo for more than 20 years. I love traveling, both overseas and inside Japan. After I visited other countries and saw many local cultures there, I realized that Japan has a variety of unique cultures with a lot of tourist attractions. I hope you enjoy your stay in Japan. I'm looking forward to seeing you soon!

Toru I.
Hello to all of you on the screen. My name is Toru Ishii and I am a licensed national interpretater of English language. I have been guiding scrolling around a Japanese landscape garden designated as Scenic Beauty in Yokohama city for the last 2 years. I would like to explain about time-honored Japanese architectures, transfered from Kyoto and Kamakura, designated as Important Cultural Property. I am also interested in Tea Ceremony and in the ritual of serving powdered green tea in the garden. Yokohama opened its door to overseas comers in 1859 after the Meiji Restoration. The port of Yokohama shared about 70 percents of overseas trading in Japan. The main export was raw silk thread. Now the beautiful city of Yokohama has become historically exotic and ranks as one of the most fascinating internationally trading city that attracts many foreign tourists. I am always happy to guide tourists around this historical region and Introduce the delights of Japanese cuisine and Chinese cuisine in China town according to the visitor's requests. Stepping further out from Yokohama, I would recommend Kamakura city, a 20 minutes train ride on the JR Line, where the visitor can feel the fresh ocean breeze. The nearby Zen Buddhist temples and the Great Buddha are main attractions and souvenir shopping adds the excitement. Kamakura was established by the first Shogun, Yoritomo Minamoto, in 1192 and the shogunate government lasted till 1333. He established his Samurai government which ruled over Japan. After arriving at Kamakura or Kita-Kamakura station, the visitor can easily walk around the city. This city is easily accesable by train from Yokohama (less than 30 minutes) and Tokyo (less than 1 hour). As for my background, I have experienced staying in Louisiana in the United States and studied at the university there. Now I am 60 years old and I am still working for a company, while at the same time, I work as a volunteer guide a few days a month in Yokohama city. I like traveling in foreign countries, and have experienced short time staying at several European countries, North America as well as some Asian countries. Last January, I travelled San Fransico and Merced city, California. I would be delighted to exchange cultural experience with many visitors from all over the world. If you happen to be visiting my country and if you are interested , please feel free to contact me. Toru Ishii
