About Tour Guide Keiko H.
HI. I am Keiko. I'm a National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter - Your local tour guide.I was born in Tokyo and studied Japanese history in the University. I used to work as a junior high school English teacher for over 30 years . So I know about Tokyo a lot. One of my hobbies is Japanese history and finding similarities with world history is very interesting and so much fun for me.
Tokyo is an attractive city where you can both experience the marriage of both traditional and modern culture. I'd be more than happy to share with you my rich knowledge and experience. I'll be grateful to arrange a tour for you according to your preferences. I'm looking forward to having a good time with you and I hope to be a part of your stay here in Japan.

(109 reviews)Thank you very much for your wonderful review of my tour. Fortunately, it was a fine weather and a perfect day for walking around Ueno Park and Yanaka area. There, we could experience the traditional atmosphere of Japan such as Toshogu-shrine with old stone lanterns, Hanazono Inari shrine with many red-tori-gates and OISHII typical Japanese style lunch in an old town house...etc. I hope you will enjoy Japan as much as possible. ARIGATO!!

(109 reviews)Thank you very much for your warm review of my tour. It was fun and comfortable riding around Tokyo in a van. We visited both traditional and modern part of Tokyo. At Asakusa, you tasted Ningyo-yaki and prayed your wishes. At Shibuya, you experienced crossing and saw a lot of KAWAII girls. You tasted authentic Japanese style lunch such as YUBA, TEMPULA, TOFU... etc. You learned a new useful word, SUMIMASEN. I hope your days in Japan will be great. Arigato-gozaimashita!!

(109 reviews)Thank you very much for your kind review of my tour. We were lucky enough to be able to enjoy seasonal tastes and view. At Tsukiji fish market, we saw seasonal foods such as Matsutake mushrooms, ginkgo nuts, chrysanthemum petals ...etc. We also saw KAWAII, cute, sweets topped with strawberries or big grapes called "shine muscat". At Asakusa, we strolled Nakamise street decorated with colored leaves. For lunch, we had tempura soba-noodle at a local noodle restaurant. I was so glad that you enjoyed authentic Japanese food saying "OISHI", delicious. I wish your great days in Japan. Arigato!!
