“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!

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

“A Lovely Second Day with Keiko”
Keiko designed a wonderful two-day tour of Tokyo for my small family. My goal was to introduce Japan to my 10-year-old daughter. Keiko created a custom itinerary that included cultural highlights such as the Meiji Shrine, Temple in Asakusa, and a delightful small shrine dedicated to foxes in Ueno. She also made sure to include stops that aligned with my daughter’s interest in fashion and kawaii culture: Harajuku’s shopping street, the Santino and Pokémon stores, a delightful maid cafe in Akihabara, and the Tokyo SkyTree. Keiko shared great insights and stories at each stop along our journey, and she even helped our daughter pick out clothes at cool boutiques. My wife and I had a great time too. Overall, we loved our time with Keiko and would tour with her again in the future! Arigatou gozaimasu, Keiko-San!
Keiko H.

I hope you will enjoy Japan as much as possible and go back to your country with a lot of SUGOI memories. MATANE,See you again!!

Thank you very much for your wonderful review of my tour. On the first day, we visited west side of Tokyo, Shibuya & Harajuku area to experience modern and KAWAII culture. Every time your kawaii daughter visited anime character shops, trendy fashionable shops, animal cafes...etc., she would say, "Oh my goodness, that's nice!!" I was so happy to hear that. Arigatou gozaimashita. It was my great day, too.

Yoshi K.
Hi! I'm Yoshi. I am a National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter. Since I was born in Tokyo, near Asakusa, the famous tourist spot, and I now live in Yokohama, I am very familiar with many sightseeing spots and attractions of Tokyo and Kanagawa area. I used to live in California in the states, as a graduate student at UCLA and Stanford University, so I speak natural American English. I used be a CEO of an internet company, dealing business with many foreign companies of the US, European countries and Asian countries. Therefore, I know your culture! I can explain Japanese culture, by comparing them with yours. Of course, I can guide you to the popular spots, like Asakusa, the Imperial palace, Meiji shrine, Shinjuku, and Shibuya. But also I can take you to some secret places, which nobody knows, like a hidden temple in a dungeon. Interested? Please contact me. See you soon! Yoshi

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.
